What fun to find so many articles that have to do with hair! I want to give a special thank you to Georgean Kruger, senior writer, for helping so much with all the articles. She is a very dedicated supporter of this magazine, and I appreciate all she does. All hats off to Georgean! I believe that hair is a very important part of our lives. It is one of the biggest parts of our identity. As we age we deal with whether or not to allow our natural beautiful grey stay, or change the color with chemical dyes. I do agree that staying natural is the most graceful way of aging, however; some of us think we look older and choose to go with the dyes. Both are equally acceptable – we are who we want to be. Memories are very vivid of our high school years, the trends, and how we participated. I was a user of the hose and bonnet hair dryers and I even remember sleeping in rollers! I cannot understand now how we slept with those hard rollers in our hair. The things we used to do then seem so hard to believe now.

The hair is shorter even than in the 1920s and curls/waves are restricted to the back and sides, revealing the ears and neck. The colors were achieved by adding pigments to the setting lotion. “It’s impossible not to laugh!” -The New York Times COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU!

Spring 2016 Page 2 www.yellowrosesmagazine.com Spring 2016 Page 3 www.yellowrosesmagazine.com MainFeature The Heated History of the Permanent Wave If you ever wondered why you feel a special bond with your hair-dresser that makes you feel like you’re confessing all of your sins or why going to the beauty salon seems like a magical getaway, you wouldn’t be surprised to know that it has always been this way. Before the salon there was the barbershop and before the hairdresser we know today, they were surgeons, dentists, therapists, and priests. The18th century was all about the wigs. By the end of the 19th century wigs were out and the barbershop was starting to be reorganized. The hair world went from barbershops to beauty parlors to get women out of the homes and into the chair. came out fuzzy. Perms were very expensive. You did not go to a beauty shop more than once a month. In 1928, Marjorie Stewart Joyner, a female African American hairdresser, was the first patent-holder in the US for a more compact permanent wave machine that waved women’s hair for a longer period. The machine used electrical current to heat hair which was clamped in one-inch sections. The machine also worked to straighten very curly hair. Next came the first permanent wave rollers. They consisted of two parts; the first was used to wind the hair and the second were aluminum tubes which were heated by electricity through wires that the the rollers were inserted into. Around 1870, Marcel Grateau invented crimping irons that could heat and curl hair. Marcel Waving was the first step toward permanent waving, but was still very primitive around the turn of the 20th century. The curling irons were heated over a lamp chimney or a stove burner. The wet hair was put between the two irons and wound around the outside to produce a twodimensional Marcel Wave. The risk of burning the scalp and skin was great and the process took an inordinate amount of time. The beauty parlor was an exciting time for women at the turn of the 20th Century. Karl Nessler developed a cumbersome machine that was capable of permanently curling hair using an Alkali chemical mixture much like our present day method, that also used gas to heat the hair. Since these machines were located in beauty parlors rather than the home, they made women’s hair care into a social event rather than a private ritual. The machine was a torturous looking device with separate wires leading to each chemical-wrapped curl attached to heated brass rollers. To avoid burns, the support for this machine was first suspended from the ceiling like chandeliers, using counter balancing weights. These machines were only useful for long hair wrapped around 12 – 2 pound rollers heated to 212 degrees. As waving became more popular, there were up to 22 heaters on a machine. By the late 1920s new stores, called beauty shops began to open across the US. The wave machine was soon adapted to be portable. A vertical metal pipe held a circular fixture with the heated rollers suspended by wires that enabled the machine to be moved around the shop between customers. Many operators had the reputation of ruining your hair or burning it off. Sometimes you risked getting your scalp burned in the process, due to excessive heat. If you felt you might be getting burned, you would signal the operator, who, with a bellows would blow on the hot spot. Many a permanent wave Spring 2016 Page 4 www.yellowrosesmagazine.com Spring 2016 It can be imagined that at a time when electrical installations were not to today’s standards and at one time were not even grounded, the application of electrical windings to wet hair resulted in enough accidents to worry women. Icall developed what was called the “wireless” system in 1934 in which the electric lead to the heater was replaced by a cord. The machine looked similar to the earlier model, but the heater was heated by plugging into a socket instead of direct connection to electricity near the head. By the mid-30s, the beauty shop business was still in a primitive state. The shops had high ceilings covered with white sculptured tin tiles. A sink with tilted drain board, a chair and a couple of hair dryers along the wall, the permanent wave machine sat in a corner. The instrument of torture was still tall, floor-lamp shaped machine on wheels with electric cables hanging from a pole. Women still feared being electrocuted when the machine was switched on, but all that happened was a sizzling noise and a concentrated gust of the permanent wave solution that blew into the face causing an immediate headache and a feeling of nausea. Perms were the most modern at the time, and women wanted to try the new style.

Many pieces were for memorial purposes; however this art form was also used as a keepsake of a loved one before cameras were invented. Hair was a token of love in these times as well as a remembrance of someone who passed away. The tradition of giving a lock of hair goes back hundreds, and even thousands of years and can be traced from different cultures as well as different time periods. Reliquaries are an example of this, and contain crushed bone fragments, hair, or the blood of a person. Items made from human hair include: wreaths, watch fobs, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, chains, brooches, hat pins, postcards, cuff links, rings, bookmarks, buttons, pictures, and more. There are neckpieces called sepia, which is a scene painted with pulverized hair. When hair is pulverized into powder it can be mixed with paint and used as a medium for painting scenes. The hair wreaths (usually in hand carved or leather frames), are considered pieces of art. Families build their hair wreaths in a horseshoe shape so that more could be added as the family grew. A group activity to celebrate May Day Hair Art is a lost art, but should always be remembered as one of the earliest forms of remembrance and treasured items created by extremely talented hand makers. The celebration of May Day (May 1st) is, for many people, their favorite time of year. It is the time to welcome spring, and celebrate new beginnings. The tradition of May Day Baskets is a fun way to let your friends and loved ones know they are thought of. Once the special basket is crafted, it is left on a friend’s front door knob. The door bell is rung, and you run and hide so they won’t know who has left the greeting. It’s the “random act of kindness” holiday! (Older ladies do not need to run and hide – they can just stand at the door and wish their friend happy May Day face-to-face.) Composed by Miss Kitty Baskets can be taken to nursing homes, friends that are homebound, family, and your special club members.

This space, provided by the airport, was due to the combined efforts of Earlywine YMCA, US Army Fort Sill, and Tinker Air Force Base. New recruits come from around the United States and the Pacific Islands for basic training. During January 2016 the welcome center saw 3,992 soldiers pass through their doors. Their flights arrive at all hours and the buses from the post pick them up between 6:30 pm and 10:30 pm. I had the privilege to visit the center and see the many supplies provided by the YMCA, meet five or six other volunteers and walk around the computer area, dining area, and rest area. There are flat screen televisions for movies, games, and regular television watching. This is good work and a great way to support the troops. annual book sale, seven hundred thousand books were sold for a total of $232,000 for the library system.

I knew that was where I belonged.” Marta amazed her dance teachers with her talent at a very young age. She also studied piano and art on a scholarship at the age of nine, developing as an artist and pianist. As a young woman, she danced at Radio City Music Hall, and on Broadway. She appeared in “Showboat”, “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”, and “A Wonderful Town”. But Marta wanted to dance her own dances, design her own costumes, and create her own show. Which is exactly what she did, and she took her solo show on the road. Married in 1962, Marta and her husband found themselves in California, in the spring of 1967, after months of touring. They decided to spend a week’s vacation camping in Death Valley, behind the visitor’s center. One morning they awoke to a flat tire on their trailer. A park ranger directed them to Death Valley Junction to have the tire repaired. Spring 2016 While her husband attended to the tire, Marta began to explore the old adobe buildings. Walking down the long colonnade of what was known as the Amargosa Hotel, she was hypnotically drawn to the end and around the corner where she discovered the largest building in the row. It was a theater! She could not believe her eyes. At the back of the building, she found a hole in a door, where she could see inside. There she saw a small stage with faded calico curtains hanging from a track. Debris was strewn all over the warped floor boards, and several rows of wooden benches faced the stage. It was obvious the theater had been abandoned for quite some time. It seemed to be the only unused building in Death Valley Junction. “Peering through the tiny hole, I had the distinct feeling that I was looking at the other half of myself. The building seemed to be saying.....Take me.....do something with me...I offer you life” The next day Marta and her husband located the town manager and agreed to rent the theater for $45.00 a month, and to assume responsibility for repairs. Originally called Corkhill Hall, she renamed the theater the Amargosa Opera House. Page 16 www.yellowrosesmagazine.com Jenna McClintock STAGE Marta gave her first performance in the theater on February 10th, 1968. On that rainy night, she danced for an audience of twelve adults, children and grandchildren. From that day on the doors of the Amargosa Opera House opened without fail at 7:45 pm and the curtain parted promptly at 8:15 pm every Friday, Saturday, and Monday night for many years. The audiences consisted of locals and curious tourists, and sometimes no one came at all. Working in the Opera House cleaning up after a rainstorm, Marta had a flash of inspiration. She would paint an entire audience on the walls of the theater. It took four years to complete the murals on the walls. Then Marta started work on the ceiling, which took another two years and was completed in 1974. In January of 1983, Marta’s husband left for other interests, but as fate would have it, at the same time another important person entered her life. Mr. Thomas J.”Wilget” Willett stepped in as stage manager and M.C. and has been with her until his death in 2005. A natural comedian, he acted as a performing stage Spring 2016 manager, playing parts, co-starring with Marta, and adding humor to the classical ambience of the performances. “I am grateful to have found the place where I can fulfill my dreams and share them with the passing scene...for as long as I can.” Marta officially retired in 2012, after her final show, “The Sitting Down Show.” She continues to live in Death Valley Junction (population 5) and will celebrate her 92nd birthday August, 9th, 2016. Presently, in the theatre, you will be entertained by ballerina Jenna McClintock, who is portraying Marta in her performances. Occasionally you just might see Marta, herself, on stage! The theatre performances run from late October thru May. The hotel has 33 rooms and is open year round along with free tours of the Opera House. For information call 760 852-4441 Composed by Miss Kitty Page 17 www.yellowrosesmagazine.com Feature Organization The Heated History of the Hair Dryer The Beauty shop was not complete without a hair dryer. During the 1930s such refinements as variable temperature settings and multiple speeds entered the market. Big and bulky by today’s standards, these dryers were nevertheless a quantum jump ahead of the primitive electric models of a few years earlier. A Very Special Invitation to Share Christian Fellowship The vacuum cleaner was the initial inspiration for the creation of the hairdryer. The first hair dryer invented in 1890 resembled a sort of vacuum cleaner type contraption combining a seat with a hood connected to a gas stove. A customer would sit underneath the hood while a hand crank blew hot air from the stove over her hair. After World War II the pressure on women to look good and find a man was on and the beauty shop was a pillar of every community. Beauty shops were now becoming social hubs for women to escape the realities of their day by getting pampered. A shampoo and set with bobby pins to hold the pin curls cost around $2.00. With a head full of wet pin curls, one was obliged to sit under a large heavy metal standalone contraption into which one put one’s head. They stood on a barely movable four-legged stand. They were as uncomfortable to sit under as ridiculous one looked sitting under them. An ancient psalm says, “God sticks his head out of heaven. He looks around. He’s looking for. . . just one God-ready woman” (Psalm 14:2 MSG). Are you a God-ready woman? Many women in the Beautiful Hat Society feel God-ready. I happen to know many of them. In another issue of Yellow Roses this year you read about several of our chapters across the nation, some in Ohio, some in Maryland, and some in South Carolina—all godly women wishing to show God’s love as they serve others through mentoring the next generation. The 50s introduced the original chair mounted hairdryers. Remember, there were no home blow dryers in the 50s, and a guy would not be caught dead in the beauty shop in those days, unless it was the towel guy or products supplier. The bonnet hair dryer was introduced in 1951. It was not until the mid-60s that it became a popular item in the home. This new type of dryer was a lightweight dryer connected by a tube to a bonnet which was worn on the head blowing warm air over the hair. In most shops hair drying was done first by hand. The arm dryer came into existence in the 1920s. It was portable and was moved around over the head with the operator rubbing the scalp to hasten the drying. The first hood dryer that looked like a helmet and the hand-held dryer appeared in 1920. The hand-held dryer was big, bulky, and heavy, weighing around 2lbs. They were dangerous because of the risk of electrocution and frequently overheated using 100 watts, so it took a long time to dry hair. Spring 2016 By the late 1970s the focus was improving the safety of hand-held dryers. Early hair dryers were dangerous. If they accidentally came in contact with water they could cause an electrical shock. Combining the casual freedom of the 60s with the signature hairstyles of the 70s was easy with the blow dryer. By Edna Ellison, President, Beautiful Hat Society (BHS) Here’s the good news: you can come to our next national convention and learn more about these godly women. Mark your calendars now. At the convention you will find Christian drama, inspired speaking and sharing, heavenly music, and fellowship with sincere, active women who are God ready!

Spring 2016 Page 19 www.yellowrosesmagazine.com Feature Hair Is the Richest Ornament of Women During the first decade of the 20th Century, hairstyles were pretty similar to those of the late 19th Century, the “Marcel Wave” and the “Gibson Girl” hairdos. The early 1900s hair biz brought about bobby pins, the beginnings of the first handheld hair dryer, the perm and the birth of L’Oreal hair color. Following World War I, the modern day beauty shop hit just in time for the roaring twenties. Ladies were saying goodbye to their long Victorian locks and welcoming much shorter hairdos such as the sleek bob to finger waves and tight ringlets. The bob haircut was not accepted by many beauty shops, so barbers became the go-to. Elaborate headpieces added a feminine touch. It was part of an overall look known as “The Flapper”. ponytail. Bangs were worn quite short, generally no longer than the middle of the forehead. The late ’50s saw hair piled on top of the head, the bouffant style pageboy a forerunner of the beehive. 18th Century France & England The wavy hairstyles of the 1930s were still the trend with a longer and softer look with parts sweeping to the side or down the middle. The home perm went by the way of the 50s crinoline petticoats as the 1960s brought bouffant beehive hairdos. The main element of a beehive was volume and height that required lots of ratting/backcombing. Using a comb and running it back and forward down the hair to create a knotted effect was lightly combed over to smooth down the effect. The longer the hair, the higher the beehive. Larger wire mesh rollers were now on the market to help create the lift needed. To keep the hairdo set rock solid, it was shellacked with hairspray. At bedtime the hair was wrapped in toilet paper to keep it in place. Pink hair set tape was good for plastering down bangs. Women might not touch their hairdo until it needed washing out completely or their next beauty shop appointment. The beauty shops had a good twenty year run. Women of the 60s did not have time to get involved with the intricate hairstyles of the 50s. As the 60s progressed with more women entering the work force, straight hair became more popular than curly hair, so the hair-sets and perms waned. The long hippie hair often worn with a headband 1920 Ringlets & Finger Wave Following the hardship of World War II, around the forehead, the short mod the fifties was a time of relative prosperity. The 50s hair was soft Twiggy and shag gained popularity. waves and curls, even if it was achieved by perms. No one wore At the end of decade the beauty shop was now known as straight hair. Teenagers wore poodle cuts, pageboys sometimes the ‘beauty salon’. Men started to frequent the same location worn with a scarf around the top of the head and under the hair for their hair care, unlike the days where men were at the by the neck and tied. A small chiffon scarf was often added to a barbershop and women at the beauty parlor/shop. The 1970 styles were outlandish and stylists were the hottest thing on the market. The feathered flip like the Farrah hairstyle had a large look with lots of bounce. The natural style of the Afro was also popular during the decade of the 70s. Those huge bulky shop-like hair dryers were becoming a thing of the past replaced by the more compact hair dryers and handheld dryers. It seemed like there was a new invention every week on the market, plastic rollers, foam rollers, Velcro rollers with a variety of clips. By the 1980s perms were back, curly hair was seriously “in” again for men and women. For a man that was something that did not happen earlier. Guys got perms for the first time and it was absolutely hilarious at the time. The Rachel cut, long tight crimped waves, teased, whale spout and side high ponytails were hits of the decade. The 90s showcased the first of many high priced haircuts and styles. The pixie, layered look, feathered bangs and box braids were popular. The present day hairstyles are personal preference many updated from the 80s and 90s. Messy, waves and curls are seen as attractive as well as straight and refined styles. Written by: Georgean Kruger 1960’s Twiggy World War II influenced how working women wore their hair in the 40s. Many wore a red bandana to cover the hair on the job. Throughout the decade the hairstyle trend was generally just below shoulder length or shorter. The hairdos were all about rolls, waves, updos and peek-a-boo bangs.

We are open to anyone that enjoys going to tea; and being with friends to enjoy the scones, savories and desserts; most especially the desserts. When we were new we tried to go a tea room that used china cups and cloth napkins. But over the years, the tea rooms have become less and less. We are still requesting china cups and cloth napkins, and settle for as close as we can get; even when we have to have tea bags and a pot of hot water. Our group changes as someone wishes to join and someone decides to no longer come. We purge our roster from time to time. At present we have about 25-30 on our roster and have an average of 15 that attend regularly. We are in Hampton Roads but members come from surrounding cities as far away as 50 plus miles.

Created to affirm the ascendance of religious freedom and tolerance, St. Patrick’s Cathedral was built in the democratic spirit, paid for not only by the contributions of thousands of poor immigrants but also by 103 prominent citizens who pledged $1,000 each. St. Patrick’s Cathedral proves the maxim that no generation builds a cathedral. It is rather, a kind of ongoing conversation linking generations past, present, and future. The cornerstone of St. Patrick’s Cathedral was laid in 1858 and her doors swept open in 1879. It was over 150 years ago when Archbishop John Hughes announced his inspired ambition to build the “new” St. Patrick’s Cathedral. left to right: Eva Maddox and Georgean Kruger - Minnesota Nancy Noe and her sock monkey Duchess Dorothy - Ohio left to right: Sylvia Chambers and Nancy Mansfield - Virginia left–right Terry Harris - Nancy Smith- Queen Mary Stopa - Betty Watkins - Mary Lawson - Leslie Zuckerman-Lindalu Pranke-Rose Aceto-Gail Neil - Nevada Famous people who had their funerals at the cathedral but are interred elsewhere include New York Yankee greats Babe Ruth and Billy Martin, legendary football coach Vince Lombardi, singer Celia Cruz, US Senator from New York and Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and long-time New York Giants owner Wellington Mara. Special memorial Masses were held at St. Patrick’s following the deaths of Andy Warhol and Joe DiMaggio. The cathedral was the setting for a large portion of the 1990 film, The Godfather Part 3,Spider-Man, when Spider-Man saves Mary Jane Watson and leaves her on a roof-garden near the cathedral. The underground ruins were the setting for the climax of Beneath the Planet of the Apes where Taylor destroyed the Earth with the Alpha-Omega bomb. The cathedral features prominently in Nelson DeMille’s 1981 novel Cathedral and James Patterson’s 2007 novel Step on a Crack. The cathedral was used as the venue for the wedding of Wilhelmina Slater to Bradford Meade in hit ABC prime-time show, Ugly Betty. left to right standing: Trish Bryant, Donna Hall, Dana Quigley, Ann Watts, Claudine Govier, Loretta Brawley, Diane LMahieu,.

The rollers were heated over a stove and used a waving lotion similar to ones used in today’s salons. The masculine hair-styles of the 20s faded out in lieu of cheaper, more feminine beauty alternatives in the 30s. The beauty business was still booming. The cold wave developed in 1938 laid the foundation for the modern permanent waving method. It used no machines and no heat. To make one curl a lotion containing ammonium thioglycolate was applied to the hair. The first piece was a felt and rubber piece with a slit in the middle that you pull the section of hair through down to your roots. Next a metal and rubber spacer was clipped onto the hair at the roots. The hair was rolled in the paper wrapper onto the metal curler. The whole thing was clamped. Of course this was very heavy on the curl. It’s the 40s and women were now going to a beauty shop once a week to have their hair set and a perm every three months. The first popular home permanent kit was the TONI brand. The Toni Company used a set of identical twin sister to advertise their products. The classic question was, “Which twin has the Toni?” Toni Home Perm opened the door for women who wanted a permanent wave without going to the beauty shop. This made the process cheaper and took less time. The costs of the perms were $15 for the professional wave and $2 for a Toni Kit, which included the waving lotion and plastic curlers. burned scalp from the strong solution chemicals in those days. A Toni home perm process took 6 to 8 hours at room temperature. Toni was an immediate success and its popularity was overwhelming. The other popular brand was LILT. By the end of the 50s, hairstyles were starting to get bigger and the formality of having a hat, gloves and bag was trailing off. The 60s brought beehive hairdos shellacked with hair spray and tresses teased high, which called for a professional’s touch. The word “beauty salon” officially over took the word beauty shop during the 60s. Written by Georgean Kruger Every community in rural America had at least one housewife in the neighborhood who was the “home-perm beautician.” The solution was applied to a strand of hair and placed between a small paper perm wrapper; then paper and hair was rolled tightly to the scalp on little rods. Full-strength industrial-grade ammonia was the waver du jour. The perm solution smell was so strong your eyes would burn. One would sometimes endure a Spring 2016 Page 26 www.yellowrosesmagazine.com Spring 2016 Page 27 www.yellowrosesmagazine.com Feature Feature A Disney Story Tale That We All Remember Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair, so that I may climb the golden stair. Upon hearing these words, Rapunzel would wrap her long, fair hair around a hook beside the window, dropping it down to Dame Gothel, who would then climb up it to Rapunzel’s tower room. Spring 2016 for the Longest Dreadlocks One day, a prince rides through the forest and hears Rapunzel singing from the tower. Entranced by her ethereal voice, he searches for her and discovers the tower, but is naturally unable to enter it. He returns often, listening to her beautiful singing, and one day sees Dame Gothel visit, and thus learns how to gain access to Rapunzel. When Dame Gothel leaves, he bids Rapunzel let her hair down. When she does so, he climbs up, makes her acquaintance, and eventually asks her to marry him. She agrees. Together they plan a means of escape, wherein he will come each night (thus avoiding the Dame Gothel who visits her by day), and bring Rapunzel a piece of silk, which she will gradually weave into a ladder.. When Dame finds out she cuts off Rapunzel’s hair and casts her out into the wilderness to fend for herself. When the prince calls that night, Dame Gothel lets the severed hair down to haul him up. To his horror, he finds himself staring at her instead of Rapunzel, who is nowhere to be found. When she tells him in anger that he will never see Rapunzel again, he leaps from the tower in despair and is blinded by the thorns below. For months, he wanders through the wastelands of the country and eventually comes to the wilderness where Rapunzel now lives with the twins she has given birth to, a boy and a girl. One day, as she sings, he hears her voice again, and they are reunited. When they fall into each other’s arms, her tears immediately restore his sight. He leads her and their children to his kingdom, where they live happily ever after. Composed by Miss Kitty The ‘Guinness World Record’ for longest dreadlocks was set in 2009 when Asha Mandela’s hair officially measured 19 ft. 6 in., but an unofficial measurement put one strand of her hair that stretched 55 ft. 7 in. long. National A lonely couple, who want a child, live next to a walled garden belonging to an evil witch named Dame Gothel. The wife, experiencing the cravings associated with the arrival of her long-awaited pregnancy, notices a rapunzel plant growing in the garden and longs for it, desperate to the point of death. One night, her husband breaks into the garden to get some for her. She makes a salad out of it and greedily eats it. It tastes so good that she longs for more. So her husband goes to get some for her a second time. As he scales the wall to return home, Dame Gothel catches him and accuses him of theft. He begs for mercy, and she agrees to be lenient, and allows him to take all he wants, on condition that the baby be given to her at birth. Desperate, he agrees. When the baby is born, Dame Gothel takes her to raise as her own and names her Rapunzel after the plant her mother craved. She grows up to be the most beautiful child in the world with long golden hair. When she reaches her twelfth year, Dame Gothel shuts her away in a tower in the middle of the woods, with neither stairs nor a door, and only one room and one window. When she visits her, she stands beneath the tower and calls out: World Record Holder Colorado “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Golden Hair” Asha Mandela, a native of Trinidad and Tobago migrated to the US 30 years ago. She first started growing her hair 29 years ago as a spiritual calling. Mandela’s hair has grown to 57 ft since setting the world record. Her hair is so massive when washed once a week it takes two days to wash, and then two days for the locks to dry. The hair supposedly weighs approximately 40 lbs. When she goes out she often carries her hair on her back like African women carry their babies, to prevent it getting caught on a shrub or car door, which gives her a greater degree of freedom.

While the s alon is brimming with gossip, it’s also life-changing as women come in looking a mess and leave looking wonderful.

Movies, Broadway musicals and songs play a big part in that also. There are numerous movies that take women to the beauty parlor or talk about embracing and changing your hair. “Steel Magnolias” is the story of a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together in Truvy’s Beauty Parlor. “I’m Gonna Wash That Man Right Out Of My Hair”, is an amusing song sung as young Navy nurse Nelly Forbush showers and shampoos, in the movie, “South Pacific”. To name a few that have many times puts a smile on our faces: “Lend Me Your Comb”, “Kookie, Kookie, Lend me your comb, my hair is a mess”, was Carl Perkins’ last single on Sun records. Today it is best known as a cover by The Beatles. Disney Channel’s “Bad Hair Day”. “Hairspray”, is a musical about big hair, thanks to the use of hairspray.
