Men used Vitalis ("A little dab will do you" to groom their hair. Handy Hannah was the only brand of hair dryer available and most girls didn't have one.

Actually, the "little dab" bit was for Brylcreem. You know, '...for men who used their heads about their hair."? ;-)

Women and girls would set their hair with hard plastic or metal curlers and actually sleep on those instruments of torture at night. They'd use "Dippity Do" and "cream rinse" to set and condition their hair.
