This was my bouffant bubble head, probably around 1962. It doesn't look that big in pic, however hurricane Bertha wouldn't have moved a hair on that head. You. Look. MAHvelous! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I had "zing-bop" curls until college. (Pull them out "zing" and release "bop") essentially, it was a mini-Afro or a shorter version of Shirley Temple's ringlets. So, no curler has ever been near my head. Instead, in the era of Farrah Fawcett and those damn feathered back wings of hair, I tried desperately to straighten my mass of curls. In the humidity of Florida, it is just pointless!
The curls have softened with age, but I still don't waste the time trying to straighten my hair.

No, my mother never made me wear them - I did it voluntarily. Then I graduated to juice cans. Oh, and I ironed my hair too. By iron I mean the type you iron your clothes with. I also used tape on my bangs. Aw, the memories. And yes, I do know what Dippity Do is. Me too ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) The juice cans were the best though! and my Mom made me wear pin curls to bed on Saturday nights so my hair looked good for church. Dang those bobby pins poked your head and ears and were miserable!

My mom was big on the pink sponge rollers for my hair! I remember we had a babysitter with long long hair and she would wash it in the bathtub while she was over and then set it on orange juice cans! ![](http://s1.folica.com/img/product/0/006697/main/diane-foam-rollers-5-8-pink-350x350.jpg) These are what I had to wear too. I have stick straight hair and my mother insisted on rolling my hair after each hair washing. I never understood what was wrong with just leaving my hair straight. I had curly hair and my mom still put my hair up in those.

How OLD ARE YOU with the bouffant history? You don't look old enough in your avatar photo to have had a bouffant hairdo! ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Aww thanks Sharla.....I was born in 1946....That makes me ![:shocked:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/JvSt42CUoZ9LG952aAaF.jpg) 68!

And I love the picture of you with the bouffant you have farther down.

Oh I loved Gee your hair smells terrific!!! Purple bottle, right? Problem was by the time you sprayed a whole can of AquaNet on, your hair no longer smelled terrific. It smelled more like paint thinner!

My grandma used those. My mom had those plastic rollers that you had to use bobby pins and sit under the dryer for. I used sponge rollers, which made my hair very boing-y (which is funny, since I have really straight hair).

Oh, god, yes. And made me sleep on them. They were absolutely horrid, I have no idea what my grandmother was thinking! I hated having to sleep in them too. My mother always put them in my hair on Saturday night.

Who remembers Tame Creme Rinse?
We used tons of that stuff! And my mom used to use the original Herbal Essences shampoo - the green kind.

Speaking of those brush rollers, I hated those pink picks that got embedded into my scalp. I'd throw them away and they'd multiply in the drawer. I vaguely remember the Tame cream rinse. But I loved Breck shampoo and even that nasty green Prell.

I saw those brush curlers on my grandma's bathroom counter today. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) I had the pink foam ones. And my hair could never hold a curl when I was younger. So it would just be some jacked up mess with cowlicks. ![:blink:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/pd7N3dneptLj3pbgz5Gd.jpg) And my home perms were Toni. They don't hold either. ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Ivm7lm0DayrhoRpwvCeH.jpg)

No to brush curlers but I had to have ringlets for dancing and that involved tieing my wet hair up in strips of cloth which I then had to sleep in. Really uncomfortable!

Wow, this has brought back so many memories of my mom. She had her hair done every Saturday at the beauty shop, as she called it. She used all the different rollers, the tape across her bangs, pink silky pillow case, tons of hair spray and we had the hooded dryer to sit under.
She passed away four years ago and when I cleaned out her apartment she had a wide variety of the rollers, although she rarely used them at that point.
I remember using the cream rinse and prell shampoo.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane this morning. Makes me wonder what kinds of these things my daughter will remember about me.

My Mum used them. Matter of fact I've still got her curler bag (she passed away 5 yrs ago). I can't bring myself to get rid of them, even though I have no use for them -my hair is very curly naturally. I do remember trying to straighten my hair by using a large round brush and blow-drying it. Only succeeded in getting masses of split ends. As for the '80s and big hair? Mine was natural.

we used them, she didn't make us tho. We used them if we wanted curly hair. and those picks you had to put in so tight to hold them in - left dents in the head!

Yes, when we would go visit my grandparents in Denver. My grandmother would put them in my hair. They felt terrible to sleep in, but I loved my curly hair the next day.

My Mom... my sisters.. even me!!
I have 7 sisters 5 of them older than me and we had two baskets like thing that all the rollers were kept in. We had pretty much every kind mentioned in this thread My younger sister who has very straight hair would take a bath.. and sneak one of the baskets into bed with her. She would do her hair in the dark no mirror no brush and she would take osut the rollers and come down to breakfast with some seriously crazy ass hair . Then she would adamantly deny using the rollers!
