That's excellent

Did they really put structural support systems in their hairdo's?

Not all styles used em but the most volumised and daring ones did. Helped it defy gravity. Me mam's hairdresser used to use them. She used to have a beehive and they used like a piece of foam to help support it that went inside. Sometimes lacquer, bob pins and rolling rags and grease weren't enough to get the volume effect and to hold their elephants trunk hairstyles in. You probably didn't want to know that but i'm right into my retro hair.

Does anyone have the first women of Rockabilly website address that was on here about a year go? It had some ace womens rockabilly quiffs on it and these ladies were way way ahead of their times & and the teddy boy styles, amazing website and fantastic pics from the london east end.
