[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 604378, member: 3907"] Step, a flat iron can work on short hair too. You just have to be careful not to burn the tops of your ears. LDM, I had no idea that they sold avocado oil in fancy spas. husband buys it for me from a discount online store. They carry tons of stuff for super sensitive skin, dry hair, etc. DDD, I'm giggling at the thought of girls rolling their hair up in socks to get the perfect page boy. I can just imagine it. I used to sleep sitting up with giant rollers in my hair as a little girl so I could get the perfect flip hairstyle. My Grannie would coat my hair with setting lotion, and roll it up. It would always come out in Shirley Temple-style ringlets, and then Grannie would brush it with a paddle bush until the ends formed a perfect flip. I looked like Marlo Thomas with a better tan. Janet, be thankful you don't have to wrestle with hot combs. Back in the early 70s, other than the roller-set I just described, the other option to straighten hair was a hot comb. It was a metal comb that you either heated on the stove or in the fireplace, or plugged in if you had a new-fangled electric one. Then you'd comb your hair with it to straighten it. Aside from scalp and ear burns, the biggest danger was burning chunks of your hair off. Not fun at all. Flat irons and frizzy ends are MUCH better. [/QUOTE]
