torn pieces of cloth to curl your ends? You slept better with this rather than rollers in your hair.

RAGS!!!!
When I was very small, my hair was very long - to the waist - and very unruly.
My mother used to wrap it in rags overnight. The next morning was the agony of standing on a stool in the bathroom while she removed all of the rags and carefully and lovingly comb my hair into long curls..... It seemed to me like it took forever.
By noon, it would be poker straight again and flying all over the place.
As an teen, it was pincurls (remember those? Bobby pins, yet.), then came "Clippy's". As an adult it was plastic rollers. Can't believe I ever slept in those darned things. Then, about 1964, when my second child was about 2, I cut my hair into a Vidal Sasoon short cut. Cut around the ears, boy-short in the back. That was perfect..... Of course, "teasing" was very much the in thing in order to achieve the "football helmet" hair.
Finally, around 1976 or so, I let it grow and got and "Afro" perm. I permed it until about 5 years ago. My hair grew out and I let it get long again. With a perm, I never had to worry about it. Wash and wear, let it dry and use a hair pick. It was the easiest I ever had.
Now, it is shoulder length, has developed a slight wave and I can manage this salt-and-pepper grey hair with a dryer and a brush.
Figures.....I'd finally figure it out just in time to be losing it.....HA!!

i have never used curlers or anything in my hair....i dont know how to :(
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
Yes! Rag rolls. The sponge ones always kincked my hair and I could never sleep as a kid.
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
Yeah, but the hair came out kinda kinky. I used to try to sleep in brush rollers. (Ouch!)
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
never did either since it was all a waste of time. my hair is, was, and always will be straight as a stick. nothing i ever did to it would curl it. even after curling irons came out, it would only hold for about 15 minutes and then it was straight again.
even the toni perms didn't stay very long - maybe a week

I have had my hair rolled with paper bag strips, we cut them into strips and rolled the hair (wet) around them and tied the strips into knots. We did this at night and in the morning when our hair was dry, it was very curly.

my ma was always whacking my hair off,So yes i remember when she first let me have some hair and she curled my hair with those rags for school pictures I was so proud
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
I never used those, my mom used a curling iron on our hair, but mine was so straight it fell right out. I've used those hard plactic ones, but hated sleeping in them. I still use the pink and green sponge rollers when I want to go somewhere, they give my hair a little body.
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
No but my mom did spit curls with criss crossed bobby pins. Hated that and the way it looked but she didnt care cuz she liked it.
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
I never did. I have a Creo girlfriend whose mother curled her hair that way. I have these white sponges covered in cloth with a wire going through the middle. If I want my hair really curly, I set it damp on those. Does that count?

Oh Ya!! Rags to roll hair to get banana curls for prom, bobby pins to roll hair in circlles on my head...and lets not forget the adopted grandparents from h___ who put my hair in aluminum rollers real tight and made me take a nap in them...all I did was cry quietly. Thank God those days are over!!lol!

Not for myself, but I did for my daughters (they are now 22 and 25) they had stick straight hair. Then as soon as they hit puberty their hair turned into masses of springy curls and now they straighten their hair. Go figure.

My mom rolled my hair up with rags when I was about 10. Thought I was going to die! I ended up with ringlets like Shirley Temple!

No daisy mae, I couldn't get the hang of those cloths.
The foam ones made my hair frizzy so I used brush rollers. Very hard to sleep in!

I have curly, wavy hair so I only used those huge brush rollers to straighten it out. It took me a long time to appreciate my curly hair.
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
I never did, but both of my cousins, who used to babysit me, would come over and bring their rag strips and bobby pins. They'd roll their hair in rags, but put "spit curls" beside their ears. I envied them, and could not WAIT until I would be old enough to "do" my hair up like the big gals. And I remember that the ONLY shades of nail color or lipstick either of them would even THINK of wearing, were bubble gum pink or fire engine red...there were not many choices in the fifties!

Grandmother would wind my hair with strips of cloth, twist it all up like a pin curls... just to have it still be wet in the morning so she would braid it anyway... then wrap it around my head again! God the headaches I would get... now that will get rid of any wrinkles in your kisser!

When I was in grade school my mother used to set my hair in rags making sausage curls. They were much more comfortable but took forever to dry.
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
Yep, used the following:
leather type kid roller strips;
small orange juice cans! ;
two fingers to roll the hair into hollow rolls then a big bobby pin to secure the curl;
sponge rollers and plastic ones;
socks! LOL

Never did the rags or torn cloth. I have very thick hair. As a teen it was shoulder length. I slept on huge rollers that had the little brushes inside. And remember, those roller had to be held on by inserting Picks! It's the only roller I could use. The ones without the brushes wouldn't grip my hair and stay in. I actually had "dents" in my scalp where the rollers sat!

Rag curls...My Mom used to do this from the time I was little, little. I have naturally curly hair, but NOT in the type of curls that my Mom wanted it to have...so I was tortured like this every bath day...can you imagine a four year old standing still long enough to have a full head of waist length hair rag curled?
Anyway, I taught my daughter how to do this way back when she was a teenager...but of course she didn't listen completely all the way through. Let us just say that she didn't lose TOO MUCH hair when she had to CUT the rags out of her hair because she had KNOTTED them in place!!
But they ARE still one of the easiest ways of curling your hair if you have the time to leave them in place until they dry. And you don't have to worry about your hair getting heat damaged!!
(Whatever happened to people using that final VINEGAR rinse to get shiney hair instead of all those flammable shine serums that use chemicals?)

When we were dating it was more than once that I saw my wife-to-be looking like Raggety Ann.

In the late 60's and early 70's you wanted to get your hair straight. We'd pull our hair up on top of our head put a hairband wrapped around few times and then roll the hair in a beer can or orange juice can and secure with a bobbi pin.
Aside from those pink sponge rollers, did you ever roll %26amp; tie the your hair with?
No, I never used cloth to curl the ends of my hair. I used the brush rollers. They came with the pink sticks to secure the roller. I don't know how I ever slept on those things, but I got used to it. When I wore my hair in a flip, at night, I used to take a long strip of bathroom tissue, folded in half, %26amp; put it around my flip %26amp; clipped it in place with Lady Ellen clippies. The next morning, I removed the tissue %26amp; touched my flip up a little with a comb. Oh, the things we did to look nice. :)

What memories this brings to mind! From the time I was a toddler until junior high age, my mother shampooed my long hair for me on Saturday night and then wrapped it in "rags and papers" - strips of old bedsheets and newspapers. Sunday morning she took them out and brushed out my beautiful curls. Since I always put up quite a fuss during the process, she was pretty smug when she got me ready for church and showed me how pretty my hair was! And yes, it was so much easier to sleep on than the hard plastic rollers I used later on.
