Does anyone else remember using them to curl your hair?

I used to have a set of heated spoolies.

Wow it didn't know they had a heated option.

I remember them! You can still find them on line.

Oh yeah, my mom used them on me but we used clips and sponge rollers too.  Every Saturday night after my bath so my hair would look good for church the next day.

I remember them, but didn't need them as I have naturally curly hair. I used to use that nasty chemical straightner. Ouch. Later on, use a flat iron, now just short hair with curls.

@JeanLouiseFinch

I do remember the ritual.

Even as a kid, I hated the tight curls they produced ... too cutesy Shirley Temple-ish for me.  

My sister liked the curls, so I learned to use the sponge rollers as early as possible.

@Bonkers1, my sister used a spoolie back in the day as her "figet gadget", she'd 

have one in her fingers and close it and pop it back open! (repeatedly) 😂

Yep, used them for a while, but the curl didn't hold.

I finally went to using brush rollers kept in place with a plastic pic.  I still have an indentation on my upper forehead where the pick was.

My hair is super straight and nothing works to get it to curl more than maybe for an hour.
