Pin curls



I saw these instructions from 1947 and thought about Saturday afternoons at our house in the 50s/60s.  Mom did her own hair, and all four of our heads, in pin curls every week.  We had to hand her the bobby pins while she did ours.  The idea was to try not to be the last head done, remember?

(It's too bad that even naturally curly hair like mine had to be pinned into submission!) 



Our heads looked a lot more like a pineapple than this does, but then, our heads were smaller, and we had LOTS less hair than this woman.



Man, what a lotta work to achieve such a dorky look.
