[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 591960, member: 3907"] [COLOR=#000000] Long before flat irons were available, we used to use a torture device called a hot comb to straighten our hair. It was a comb made of iron, that you'd heat on a stove burner or in the fireplace, and then comb out your hair. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]They were heavy and awkward, and easy to drop. [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]Hanks of scorched hair falling off your head, and top-of-ear burns were commonplace with those things. And I remember pin curls well. If my mother and auntie had used up all the hair rollers, then my Grannie would do pin-curls for me before sitting me under the dome hair dryer. Shirley Temple's hair style was made from pin curls. [/COLOR] Computers. The first computers back in the 1940s took up entire buildings. Now, you can have one in your pocket. [/QUOTE]
