I was surprised at the number of reminisces about "living in curlers" I came across when doing a few of the previous posts. These commenters typically remembered setting their hair the moment they got home from work or school, and leaving their curlers in till the next day. So what's "living in curlers" like? A typical home set in the `60s was done with brush rollers, with the most typical being classic black wire brush rollers. They are often itchy as well as prickly to wear, but are more flexible than the more "modern" plastic ones. This makes them more forgiving in terms of how well the piks are pushed though them to hold them in place. A classic with wire brush rollers as would have been so common for everyday use. Whats missing in this picture are the plastic piks, Thin wire piks might have been used for this set. Link The "modern" plastic brush rollers appeared from the late 60s or early 70s which I prefer to the classic wire rollers: Solo-Sleepeasy rollers and Wil-hold are the most iconic types. Solo-Sleepeasy curlers are made with softer plastic and when set with the just the right tightness are rollers you can almost forget your in curlers during the day. The only reminder that your set is when move your head suddenly and feel the tug of the curlers. Wil-hold rollers have neat rows of bristles (rather than all over like the Sleepeasy ones) and are made of slightly stiffer plastic which are perfect if, like me, your hair responds best to a tighter set. The curlers right above her forehead are Solo-Sleepeasy rollers secured with plastic piks. This is such a classic image of air drying rollers as would have been so typical in the 60s or 70s. And the mix of curlers on the sides would also have been typical . Link. This classic image is from a vintage Wilhold package. Its what everyone in the 60s and 70s would have striven for, perfectly wound in neat rows an secured tightly with piks. These roller set so perfectly are ideal for air drying all day or all night without the risk of them loosening or falling out. Which type of rollers was used was really just a matter of preference, but wire did come first so many women continued to use them well into the `70s even after the "new and improved" plastic rollers appeared. (Soft foam rollers also appeared in the 70s, but that was really after the daily set era). Although there were other hair gels, Dipity-Do was the most iconic one. It was a unique sweet smell that you occasionally notice while wear curlers all day or night. Link. Roller sets of the 60s and 70s were usually done with sweet-smelling Dippity-Do and wound tightly with plastic piks. If you were lucky, you had someone to do it for you. The beginnings of a typical home set. The rollers are neatly wound and secured tightly with plastic pics. Link. Depending on your how your set is done, the experience of waiting for you hair to dry can range anywhere from quickly forgetting you are in curlers, to the more typical set with curlers and piks being so tight and prickly you can't forget for a second that your wearing curlers. The good thing is you do become accustomed to whatever your favorite rollers and piks are and with experience can even tell how well a set is done by how it feels. Its actually quite helpful to repeatedly adjust rollers and piks when one or another gets too tight as the hair drys, something women 60s and 70s often did. Even with the tightest sets this can greatly increase comfort and once everything is properly adjusted its actually quite satisfying knowing your curlers are in perfectly. This is such typical picture of well done home set. The setting pattern is probably the one that was most commonly used, and one pik per roller was the everyday way of securing rollers. Link. One thing that many fond reminiscences include is the smell of vintage Dippity-Do, and a really nice part of air drying is occasionally getting a whiff of that wonderful aroma. It only happens occasionally though, perhaps when some air blows though your hair or when when something brushes against your rollers. Sleeping in curlers is another matter. It takes quite a bit more getting used to, but with time it gets easier. Laying on your side is typical, with one cheek on the pillow to keep pressure off your rollers. Even doing that, with your head bristling with curlers and piks, it may be hard to fall asleep. The best thing to do is think about how perfect your set is and you hopefully drift into dreamland. Unless of course (and this happens to everyone) your rollers are simply too tight and start getting painful. Its a bit like a dripping faucet in the bathroom: how long do you wait till you do something while hoping you just fall asleep. If you don't fall asleep, you eventually give in and take them out, leaving the question of what to do with you hair till morning. A big fluffy pillow makes napping in curlers much easier. Link. The only thing that's worse than too tight rollers overnight is loose ones flopping all over. There were some styles in the 70s with side-face curls that required vertical rollers at the ends of longer strands. According to one of my friends that worked in beauty salon at the time, those settings often left marks on the cheeks. I can't see how they could have slept with curlers dangling down like that. A similar problem was huge rollers. I cant see how the rollers below did not come out overnight. Sleeping in rollers was common, but sleeping in huge one like these can be a challenge, Link. The good thing is resorting to pulling out your rollers in the middle of the night happens less as you become more expert in setting them and used to wearing them. Some women in the '60s and '70s got so used to sleeping in curlers they couldn't sleep without them and when you reach that stage you know your a pro at it. I'm so used to curlers I'm lucky enough sleep better in curlers than without. And there is nothing so satisfying than waking up in the morning in perfectly set rollers. A set with neatly spaced rollers is most comfortable for sleeping in. Usually though the rollers are covered with a scarf of curler cap to help keep them in overnight. Link. Curler caps were also created to cover to overnight sets and became fashionable themselves. In many cases they became a beautiful overnight accessory, often matched to a nightgown or similar. A great example of a beautiful curler cap matching her nightgown. Link. Many women really did "live in rollers" in the '60s and '70s and one way of setting slow to dry hair was simply to stay set all weekend, and some did just that. Immediately set their hair when they arrived home from work or school on Friday afternoons, and then stay set till Monday morning. As surprising as that may seem today, it actually makes a lot of sense for more reasons that you might think. It's convenient. Wash and set Friday afternoon and no need to tend to or worry about your hair all weekend. And if something does come up, you hair can be done perfectly with little notice. Nothing is more convenient that just staying in curlers. You can even wash your car. Link. With really long hair that simply didn't dry overnight, this was also the one opportunity to have a properly done set on Monday. And for that matter, it can easily take 15 or even 20 hours to dry longer hair, so unless there was a real reason not too, it made sense to just stay set. It was also fashionable in the 60s. To be seen in curlers on Saturday or any day of the week showed you were going to be doing something that evening or the next. The would have been a good reason for setting hair neatly and covering with scarf. The almost classic example of this was going to the supermarket in curlers. Shopping in curlers. Not an uncommon sight in the 1960s..Link. Its easier. If your already used to sleeping in curlers, leaving rollers in all day is a breeze and so much more effortless that putting them in at night and taking them out in the morning. Well accessorized the look can even be quite glamorous: Boating in curlers. Does she look great! Link. Its more comfortable. Making more of a point of adjusting your rollers as they dry and for that matter putting them in more carefully that you might otherwise would can make a huge difference and be very worthwhile if your in rollers for the weekend. See-though scarfs were not uncommon either to protect your set and show off your handiwork at the same time. Covering curlers with a scarf was both practical and a way to show off your set. Link. Even with a more stylish outfit, a scarf over curlers was often worn to let some some rollers peek out: Look at the combination of a smart outfit and scarf over rollers. Link. And then there was the every-day housewife look was stereotypical of the 1960s and 70s. Its sad that it was often scoffed at, considering the time and effort they took to setting the hair into some of the wonderful hairdos of the day. Add caption Link. In the end living in curlers was (and still can be) an everyday way of life once that once you are used to it is a practical way of doing virtually any type of hairdo with minimal heat and damage With the advent of inexpensive home hair dryers things changed slightly in the late 60s and 70s. Women who had a hard time sleeping in curlers could do their hair in the morning. And those who preferred overnight sets but who's hair didn't dry by morning could partially dry before bed with a dryer. But that, and nothing since either, can fully replace the effectiveness and even practicality of living in curlers. Note: most pictures here are from Pinterest.

When a girl rarely left home without applying lip liner and coming into contact with a round brush or hot roller.Don’t worry, the current take on the 90s hairstyle is a touch softer. Easier to style and super wearable. But, no worries, it still gives over-the-top glam factor and goes perfectly with your current long curtain bangs and face-framing layers.The trick is in the blowdry. Your stylist can give you fluffy hair, no problem. But if multiple blowouts each month aren’t in your beauty budget, good news. We’re breaking down how to achieve the hairstyle from home. HOW TO DO A 90S HAIR BLOWOUT AT HOME Ok, this looks like a long list of must-haves and tips on getting the fluffy hair look on your own. But it’s honestly about having the right tool and a few perfect products. The technique is a cinch once you get the hang of it. And the payoff? Big, beautiful, bouncy hair that Does. Not. Stop. TOOLS YOU NEED FOR A 90S HAIR BLOWOUT The Hair Dryer – So, the whole idea of giving yourself the perfect 90s blowout at home is achieving DIY salon results. That means you need a salon-worthy tool. If you have a Dyson Airwrap in your beauty arsenal, you’re good to go. If not, it’s tough to beat the Parlux 385 Powerlight Ionic and Ceramic Professional Hair Dryer. It dries strands from the inside, ensuring no harm comes to the outside, for smooth, static-free results. This tool also preserves the moisture in strands, so hair is left looking shiny and voluminous. AND it comes in a variety of cute colors. Choose Your Best Blow Dry Brush – The Olivia Garden Round Brushes are snag-free and have soft-tip bristles to be gentle on hair and scalp. This blowout brush also offers faster styling. Choose the 2-inch brush if your hair is fine to thick. If you have thicker, unruly hair that needs taming at the same time, opt for the Wet Brush Epic Boar Bristle Brush brush.Keep a Comb Handy – Because you’ll need to make sure your heat protectant (more on that in a sec) is evenly distributed throughout locks to provide the best overall look and to keep hair from becoming damaged, keep a comb on had during styling. Tangle Teezer Original Detangling Brush has perfectly spaced, flexible teeth that work product through strands without tugging on delicate strands.Stock Up On Volumizer – Since volume and fullness are essential to the look, give your hair a boost with a product that puts extra bounce in your blowout. Kavella Volumizing Mousse for a hit of texture. Or try gel-like Oway Flux Potion for dry hair that needs volume and shine. Pick Your Heat Protection Spray – Your hair is definitely going to see some heat styling with fluffy hair. Which means it’s best to protect your strands from damage before you get started. Oway Thermo-Detangling Cloud delivers shine with a slight bit of holding action to your style. Or opt for Innersense Hair Love Prep Spray, which lends a bit of root plumping action. Spray It In Place – Once you’ve achieved your desired look, set it in place with Davines Strong Hold Hairspray or O&M Desert Dry Volumizing Texture Spray. Both are made for all hair types. Additional Helpers – Not totally necessary, but picking up some velcro rollers (2 inches or larger) and a few double prong hair clips will make your 90s blowout efforts way easier. 8 STEPS ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THE 90S BLOWOUT 1. Apply a hair volume product to your towel-dried hair, roots to ends.2. Rough dry hair upside down to 80% dry, then separate hair into three horizontal sections (nape to the back of the ear, ears to recessions, and top section)3. Starting at the bottom section, divide the hair into 2 to 3 vertical subsections (depending on how much hair you have). Clip the other two sections aside. Spray the section with a heat protection spray, like Innersense Hair Love Prep Spray, and comb through. Using a 2 inch round brush, wrap each section of hair around the brush and direct the air from the blow dryer to your roots. Begin working the brush down the shaft of your hair and finish by tucking the ends under. You’ll want your ends to flip inwards.4. If your hair has a difficult time holding volume or wave, wrap each section around a 2+ inch velcro roller while the section is still hot and pin in place with a double prong clip. 5. Continue through each section, then repeat in the middle section. 6. When you reach the top section, continue using the same wrapping technique; however, direct the hair upward using a mohawk section. 7. Leave the hair in the rollers to cool, then remove the pins and rollers and brush the hair forward with a snag-free brush, like Denman Brush D3 Original Styler 7 Row. 8. Spray your hair with a medium to strong hold hairspray to hold it in place. If you need even more long-lasting volume, spray a dry volumizing spray from root to ends.
