One for the Ladies

Johnny7and Chad Valli – Hi Movers (just ??)
Here’s something that came back to me t’other day, Do you remember those Hair Crimpers that made your hair all zig-zaggy? Im sure they were around in the seventies but it could have been later? Maybe they’re still out there? Teesy-Weesy- Chad

Awombleforever – Hi Chad,think they were more an 80s thing.Maybe late 70s?
I have some myself,I don’t think they were good for your hair though.
Talk about giving volume,my hair looked like a lions mane after

Tiger Feet – Hi
Yeah I remember crimpers. I loved that style. I think it was more 80’s though but could have scraped in late 70’s. Rather than use the crimping machine I used to sometimes plait my hair and leave it in overnight then next day undo the plaits and …………….. PING. Looked a bit like I’d had an electric shock

Awombleforever – Funny you should say about plaiting the hair. I have a photo of me somewhere a few years ago where I did exactly that. When I find it ,I will post it up.Sounds just like what you have described”

I started building Escape in 2005 and in it’s early form I had the pleasure of a great 70s community. Sadly with Escape’s new design we couldn’t incorporate the old threads into the new forum but so we don’t lose all those magical old chats we’ve collected them all here for you to go back and read.
