Hi Kathleen. 45 years on, what do you think of the hairstyles? :o)
It took some doing to get it like that!
Rollers, back combing, lacquer.
Couldn't cope with all that now.
Well, I think the styles are fab but I remember getting flies caught in the backcombing on sports day - yuk! i ended up with Sandy Shaw style - long dark hair - still is but a bit shorter and out of a tube - keep the hair dressers in business. Age is a state of mind and i am still 26.
Amazed we didn't go bald with all the backcombing & lacquer.
& what about the `kiss curls'? I remember going to bed with sellotape stuck on my face to keep them in place & then having red marks all over my cheeks in the morning!
