Hi, Does anyone remember the back combing hair days. Holly 😀😂 x

[sassy59]

Oh yes, most definitely. Lovely photo Holly. Xxx😘

[Hollyjt in reply to sassy59]

Hi Sassy, It's a wonder I have any hair left when I think how I treat my hair back combed and sprayed it with hair spray. 😂😂😂😂

[sassy59 in reply to Hollyjt]

I used to have a perm years ago. My poor hair. I still use hairspray but no back combing anymore. 😂😃❤️💜

[Hollyjt in reply to sassy59]

Yes perms me too bleach high lights hair colour. When I think,I would try them all. Holly 😃 😘 XX

[garshe in reply to Hollyjt]

I used a spray conditioner for my hair and it caused my sensitivity to a silicone that it contained and breathed in every day. Having caused that to my skin just what did it do to my lungs ! I found that silicone is in almost every hair product because it makes your hair shine until it gets coated . You cannot remove it except with vinegar so I had to rinse my hair using vinegar, and leave it in ,smelling like a chippy ! So now use organic and never use any spray for anything. You don't want to breathe it in. There are so many cleaning sprays too to avoid. Always read the contents and be aware of what you might be breathing into your and your families lungs .

[sassy59 in reply to Jaybird19]

Totally agree Jaybird. I use my hairspray in a well ventilated room and then leave the room immediately. I never spray anything near Pete. We all have to take care of our lungs completely. So many pollutants around.

Take care xxxxx 💜😘

[Jaybird19 in reply to sassy59]

There are so many things to be wary of.. Life becomes difficult enough over the years.

The hair lacquer did come in useful when I used it to fix and seal my pastel drawings and had to take them outside ! T

And hold them at arms length. Then I found out that pastels are not advisable for people with lung problems ! So gave up the pastels too. !

I'm glad you were taking care.

[Bkin]

yes and mini skirts Don't touch the hairsprays, I am sure they did some damage to the lungs back then.

[Hollyjt in reply to Bkin]

Hi ,Bkin yes and the mini skirts, hair spray deffenatly bad for the lungs don't use it now.👎 Holly

[MELNEL]

LOL lovely old times and sassy picture. Hairspray was an absolute must LOL in this time, never left the house without it. 👍🌺🌺😂

[Hollyjt]

Hi Melnel, Yes they were good times. Combing my hair was torture getting all the hair spray out.😂😂😂 Holly 😀XX

[teenieleek]

Have I missed something? Has backcombing gone out of fashion? Haha! Never used hairspray though, couldn’t stand the smell. I couldn’t manage without mousse nowadays.

[Hollyjt in reply to teenieleek]

Hi just remember the old day. Holly 😀👍x

[corriena]

[Jaybird19 in reply to corriena]

Photograph ?

[corriena in reply to Jaybird19]

Unfortunately not witch is a shame

[Solily]

Love the picture!! Simpler days. When I was in high school I had hair down to my waist. The style was straight with just a little turned under at the ends and of course backcombed to get some height!! I remember setting my hair in used juice cans as it made it straight but with fullness !! I remember my dad asking me what radio station was I listening to because with all that metal on top of my head something must be coming in😂🤣 I really miss those days!! The picture is so pretty!

[Hollyjt]

Hi Solily, Thank you yes they were simpler days I think I got more pleasure with thing we had then Happy with what I had. Young and care free. My Dad always told me I would go bald. Holly 😀 😂 X

[Jaybird19]

Like the photo. Takes me back to days when I had legs like that. !

[majji]

[Hollyjt in reply to majji]

Oh it must have been lovely to work in Covent Garden. Holly 😊x

[majji]

[majji]

Yes I was lucky enough to work in a smallish film company in Dean Street, London and met quite a few . . .

[Hollyjt in reply to majji]

Wow that's great majji I think you've had a very exciting life. Take care and keep safe. Holly

🤗 Xxx

[skischool in reply to majji]

i am ultra impressed.before the market closed in 1974 posh totty where the prey for us young bloods with awful chat up lines after the popping of pills of dubious substance.i had a friend who was a freelance graphic artist who had a small studio there.though he was far more successfully being handsome and better off.thank you for provoking old memories.

Ski's reminicing

😇 x

[majji in reply to skischool]

I used to work for Richard Williams the animator as well as the film company - never a dull moment . . . . .

[Hollyjt in reply to majji]

Hi you've got lots of memories to look back on majji. Holly 😊 x

[majji]

Holly when I left the film company I went off to live in the USA for around 8 years , so glad I didn't stay there though . . . .

[majji]

I wonder if I knew your graphic artist SirSki?

[skischool in reply to majji]

Have you still got your knickers on lol if so then you probably didn't,he was called Andy Newman.thin build.handsome with dark hair and definitely a ladies man with a silky charm that was difficult to resist,rather partial to liquid lunchtimes if i remeber correctly and his attic studio wasn't terribly productive.😀 x

[majji in reply to skischool]

Lo, I am glad to say I did not come across him . . . .

[Hidden]

I can't even remember hair! 🙄
