That's what my dad told me. That was about 37 years ago. I had short, very short, hair for quite a while. Last time it was cut was in '93. Polyester suits? (shudder) ;^)
I was so happy not to have to iron everything any more that I embraced polyester! It made my life sooo much easier since I absolutely hated ironing. I'd get up in the morning, iron my kids clothes for the day and once in a while I'd get ambitious and do a bunch but that was rare (LOL).
