Is anyone here old enough to remember spoolies? They were pink and look like little martini glasses. You would wrap the hair around the stem and then pull the top down over the stem. I love to play with them when I was little!

Yes, I remember them. My dad was a drag racer in the 60's and one of the guys on his team was a very tall bald headed guy. I was about 4 years old at the time. I guess Mom had put Spoolies in my hair and I must have asked him where his hair was and he told me he used spoolies and they made him lose all his hair. I was horrified and never let Mom put them in my stick straight hair again! I am now in my late 50's and I still don't curl my hair much. Funny how a memory from young childhood sticks!

I always wondered how your hair could dry in those things!

Yep - me. And, we would scotch tape out bangs down. Some girls got to use the pink special tape, but there was no way my mom would get me any of that.
When my hair was finally long enough, I used orange juice cans for rollers !!!! Saw that in Seventeen and thought I was a teen model. Which I was anything but.

I remember them, just never used them. I was totally butter-fingered when it came to anything resembling a pin curl. I never could get all the ends tucked in and my hair always had little spikes sticking out - total disaster!

Oh yes!! I just couldn't remember what they were called. My Mom used to use those for my sister and me each and every Saturday night. Sunday School the next morning. Shoes had to be polished and we were scrubbed up mightily. Ugh! I hated all the fuss and how those stupid spoolies made my hair all frizzy!
Ahh..those good ole days.
Eventually my Mom discovered those rubber curlers that were certainly easier to sleep in. I just remember them being the same color as pink pigs!

I remember them. I don't think I ever used them as my hair was long and thick so it would have taken a bunch of them!

I remember playing with them, but not using. I had (and have) plenty of curl.
