I don't know what they were actually called. My mother put waves in my hair with them and I still have some. I hope you so or find some...they will help to give you that finger wave look. Lots of people used the finger waves even around their face then the back of the hair was in a low bun or whatever...thus they updated their look to a pretty new do! I love these looks!! Thank you for letting us follow you through your transformation...

My grandma worked as a cook for the Fitch Family in the 1930s, and he was already established as a shampoo manufacturer for dandruff shampoo - it was a combination of the bar shampoo and a dandruff hair tonic sold in a bottle starting around WWI I think.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01048605346384889326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-36436936479106113232012-01-20T07:39:46.713-08:002012-01-20T07:39:46.713-08:00I am glad you bobbed your hair if you wanted to.(g...I am glad you bobbed your hair if you wanted to.(great for charity)I am sure just as now there were some who did and some who didn't. I have a mother who was born in 1927. I asked her last week to tell me stories about when she was a kid. I asked her to tell me about her two aunts. Mom said they kept their hair short and permed. They were farm women in the mid-west. I love to hear stories of their love and hospitality.Cooked all day and invited everyone in to eat. I am sure they knew when to use good manners as well.(hint) These are stories from people who were there.Keep up the great work.If you didn't have a maid you probably would have had a sister or daughter,or cousin to help you.Mrs Tailleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13138028646568363127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-48573606116580958972012-01-20T06:53:44.647-08:002012-01-20T06:53:44.647-08:00I am curious as to why you have chosen a bob for y...I am curious as to why you have chosen a bob for your hairstyle. Most mature women your age in the 1920s-30s retained their long hair and kept it neatly piled on their head. Bobs were the fashion for the young society set. Along with the bob went a waife-like body type; the total image of the 1920s "it" girl - is that your goal? Seems to conflict with your domestic pursuits and matronly appearance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-25081360641787223952012-01-19T22:16:59.921-08:002012-01-19T22:16:59.921-08:00Dear Donna,

I love the decor, the fashion, the music! I love the fact that the food was natural, pure and simple.<br />So, I am going to January 1st and will read all the posts that I have missed! <br />Good luck and thank you!The Black Opalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03937092748233908785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-39705561756761504102012-01-19T17:18:34.069-08:002012-01-19T17:18:34.069-08:00Donna, I'm sure you've found this in your ...Donna, I'm sure you've found this in your research, but Breck shampoo was established in 1930, becoming the first successful commercial shampoo. So far the only print advertising I've found is from 1937. Also, lisafreemontstreet, on youtube, has very good tutorials on pin curls and finger waves!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05526769217231356987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960946442922071473.post-44193709053622800562012-01-19T16:39:11.637-08:002012-01-19T16:39:11.637-08:00Your cut looks awesome!
