The process was not easy: washing the hair, curling it with rollers, applying the chemical composition, and then neutralizing it. But the result was worth it. In addition, the size of the rollers had a direct impact on the shape of the curls, from tight rings to soft waves.
It was during these years that perming ceased to be a simple salon service. Thanks to home kits, every woman could do her own “chemical” treatment in her bathroom: all it took was a little patience and care.
Today, fashion is much more varied and the sturdy blanket is no longer so popular. But vintage curlers have not disappeared into oblivion. They are still used by stylists to create retro looks inspired by past eras.
