Weekly Hairdo - Page 2

bmorechick · ‎03-11-2010

I too was a child when women were doing this, but my mom was a Baltimore "Hon" and the higher the hair the better! She was the hair on the far right end! Two "wiglets" on top of her full head of teased like cornstalks hair. Omg she had so much Aqua Net hairspray on it the wasps used to fly around it. She went every Friday. Had to get that party hair for the weekend. She had pink hair for one NYs eve party. It looked like a twirl of cotton candy! That was an art. I wonder if stylists now know how to do that.

Thanks for the memories!

I was always under the impression it was a British thing. 🤷‍♀️

I tried to Google to see what in the world you two are talking about, but could not find why anyone would think this was not okay to do.

Reminds me of a neighbor who had her hair "done" weekly and then wrapped it in toilet paper before going to bed.

Her husband must have loved that. Ugh.

@Tinkrbl44

This is exactly what my mother did. But not so strange, considering that many girls my age were going to bed with their hair wrapped in juice cans around that same time! #60s hair ha ha.

Wait a minute ..... are you saying you weren't allowed to bathe when you had your period?

Uh uh @tansy . My mom was not British and I was told the same silly thing. I think it was a multi-cultual old wives tale lol.

No, this was specifically not washing your hair. @Tinkrbl44

I still go almost every week. Occasionally I will miss but not often. I do remember going with my Grandmother and Mother in my younger years. I think I learned it from the two of them!

It comes up as an old wife's tale on a search, @VanSleepy.

None of my freinds' mothers were like this. She claimed I would get ill. 🤷‍♀️
