Headscarves

The Queen rides on private property that is the difference.
You don't have to wear a seat belt when driving on private property nor a helmet when riding a motorbike or riding a horse.

Speldnan crossed posts. I meant I still have my rollers

rainmates, I think you made a rectangle shape and then folded it again?

I remember the ones with the spots, a nice decorative touch!

I preferred sleeping with my hair in rags to the horrible hard plastic curlers my mother used. Anyone else remember battleships? Hinged metal combs like bull-dog clips used to make waves in your hair.

I remember my mum in a turbin. Funny what things you remember.

The rollers had evil little plastic daggers that you used to attach them to your head.

Yes turbans, I had forgotten them.

DS and DDIL got me a square scarf last Christmas, mind you, it was a Versace! I have had to devise artful ways of tying it, as I am so used to the long ones. And I had Carmen rollers in the late sixties, and also a curled hairpiece that I could pin into the back of my head and pretend I had long hair that was elaborately swept up and curled! DMIL always had a rainmate in her bag.

I don’t wear headscarves though my Mother did but if it’s any help to anyone looking for headsquares our local charity shop where I work always has plenty to choose from, Lovely patterns,colours and many of them silk,we sell them for a £1 each,expect most charity shops will have them.

I remember battleships grandtanteJE65. My grandma used to have those and I trapped my fingers in them many times!
I used to wear a headscarf folded up around my neck with the knot at one side - I thought I looked so trendy but used to get asked if I had a sore throat!
TK Maxx sell lovely head squares as well, in a variety of materials.

At my age I remember so many things about scarves and hair curlers. My mother always put our hair in rags. In the 30s and 40s and 50s one never went out without a hat. My gran even put one on to go out to feed the chickens. In the WAAF our hair had to be above the collar so we rolled our hair up over a scarf. Chiffon and silk scarves were always square. I still have many. One was worn to brighten up a plain jumper. I still have rollers and a plastic rain hood.

Rainmates, I’ve just had the most wonderful memory of my lovely mum wearing one and me poking fun at it - feeling so guilty about it now

My dear oldnan wore hairnets, and when she went out she wore one decorated with little diamanté stones.

SueDonim I hope that your 'car scarf' isn't too long. Isadora Duncan was killed when hers blew back and caught in the car wheel.

I still have a rain mate. Never use it though! I went to Paris on a sixth form French educational visit and one of the monitors wore a cream trench coat with a navy silk headscarf. I thought she looked fantastic- just like Brigitte Bardot- so I immediately went out and bought an identical headscarf which I wore with pride, tied under the chin! Still have it. Don’t know if I resembled Brigitte
Bardot though!
