These advanced tools not only made curling hair more convenient, but also allowed you to experiment with new looks.
And in the 80s and 90s, curls experienced a real boom: large, voluminous curls conquered fashion, and chemical curling became an almost obligatory procedure for every fashionable woman.
The process wasn’t easy: wash my hair, curl it with rollers, apply the chemical, and then neutralize it. But the result was worth it. Furthermore, 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 the quilt ceased to be a simple salon service. Thanks to home kits, every woman could create her own “chemistry” in her own bathroom: all it took was a little patience and attention.
Today, fashion is much more diverse, and the sturdy blanket is no longer as popular. But vintage curlers haven’t faded into oblivion. They’re still used by stylists to create retro looks inspired by bygone eras.
