Everything's been mentioned about hair except for those VILE "Toni Home Permanents"! Being the daughter who inherited Dad's fine wispy hair, I was forced to endure the horror every 2 months from toddlerhood on by a mom with thick, naturally curly hair who thought I was "missing out" on something vital in life. I hated them... and their awful smell - Lordy, Lordy... LOL

I remember all the stuff with the torturous pink rollers (and their plastic sticks that got jammed into my scalp to hold them in place, leaving marks) and the funny hair dryers with their inflating hoods... As a result of all that crap, I have worn nothing but "wash and wear" hair styles all of my adult life. I don't even own a hair dryer, or any sort of curling devices, today!

Having been born with FRIZZY WAVY hair, I *longed* for straight hair so I, too, could have a Tonette!

When it became fashionable to straighten hair with permanents, I had one.........OMG........what you poor people went through. The smell lasts FOR-EVER........just FOR-EVER.

I never said another word about wanting straight hair!

Remember the commercials, "Which twin has the Toni?"
