Do I have to curl my hair to be vintage accurate?
i was recently talking to my dad's cousin. she said they were really poor when she was young. and they used the twist-ties off of coffee bags to curl their hair at night. You know what I'm talking about...you roll the coffee bag down and there is a twisty-tie on top and you fold the sides... -
