Hair Products - Sears Wish Book - 1989

 

       Hello. My name is Lori and I owned a crimper. In fact, I got my crimper for Christmas. It may have even been the Christmas of 1989. Yeah, in the late 80's, big hair was on the way out and we were trying to figure out what to do next. There was the standard crimper, as I mentioned before, that just made your hair wavy all over (I'm relieved to think that there are people out there who need to have crimping explained to them.) Then, when we got bored of that, we turned to gadgets like the Conair Impressions. As you can see, it allowed you to be on the cutting edge by frying various designs in your hair. You could add different plates so you could have hearts, stars, or (if you dared) hip, wavy lines. But, there were still some who weren't quite ready for the next generation of styling devices. For them we had...

 

     The perm was not dead yet and Windmere had just the product for protecting your curly locks. Of course, I don't need to tell you what my favorite part of this is. Oh yeah, it's the inset to say, "See, guys? You can use this too!" My hope is that men saw that and said, "Oh my gosh! Do I really look that ridiculous?" You know, I remember 1989, and I don't think that look was in style even then. For women? Oh yeah. For men? Oh no, no, no. It's a wonder we aren't all bald.
