wave clips?

[appy]

I meant to post this earlier, but Sally's has them listed as wave clamps, not clips, of all the stupid things. I did find them on the website after a bit of frustration. I'm dying to try them... would they work on long hair, or would it just look dumb to wave the front top sections only?

Ahh, I see... That makes my search much easier, thanks! lol

I ordered some of these from the Vermont Country Store.

I also got some "spoolies" which my mother in law said they use to use to do pin curls!

Ack! Here's a funny story: I went with my dad to his barber one time while I was in my early teens, for what, I don't know. He'd been a barber for a long time, and collected old ads and odds and ends related to his profession. One of the ads was for "Pin Curlies," and I've always wondered if I could find some on ebay or some such. You'll never guess what they were... Spoolies! If I had to guess, the ad dated from the late 40s or early 50s. I never thought in a million years I'd see them again. Neat!

It's amazing what happens when you get the right word...I'm such a doofus! Glad to know they ARE there because my Sally's over the mountain was plum out of all wave cli...err I mean clamps

Reading this thread reminded me of a photo I came across recently...

That's my Nana on the right, along with her sisters, probably in the 1920s/30s. There's some great waves on there, wonder what method they used?

I have a few of these that were my grandmothers and I LOVE them. I need to get more and varying sizes. I dont do my hair vintage everyday, but for shows it comes in handy (I like finger waves so much I may wear them more often though)

I finger waved the hair then used the clamp to hold it while it dried and I waved the rest.
