I just came from the beauty parlor and had my hair cut. She made me "irresistible" and so I decided to let you know how we did that when we were very young.
During the time that our house was lite by kerosine lamps we had a curling iron that we heated up in the globe part of the lamps. When hot, we would curl our hair with this iron. It didn't stay curled very long with this method. Then I remember wires that had leather wrapped around these wires and you twisted the hair up in this contraption, and that did a little better with our curls. Some used strips of cloth and wrapped their hair in these until dry.
There were metal curlers that we used at one point in growing up. This wasn't a very good method either (it split your hair). Then we used hair pins twisting one row one way and the next row the other way, and it created nice waves.
Sometime in the late 30's and early 40's we would go to the beauty parlor and get a permanent.
Now the machine that they hooked you up on was wired to electricity, and they clamped dozens of these strange looking things on to your wound up hair. They set the timer and lo and behold you came out with beautiful curls. I don't know what would happen if the place caught on fire, as you were really wired for a permanent stay! Luckily, this didn't happen and we were transformed into an "irresistible beauty".
So now you know how "girls" got so irresistible!
Todays wisdom--I Peter 3:3,4 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible, even ther ornament of the meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. (God is looking at the inner beauty of a person instead of the outer beauty.)
