Cardboard Toilet Paper Rolls

I have never heard of using cardboard toilet paper rolls to curl my hair.

I have never heard of this, I have had rags put in my hair to make it curly before. My Grandma did this for me one time, but I have never heard of using cardboard toilet paper rolls.

LOL. I had never heard about doing this before. That is a vewry good idea to do though. I think alot of people may have done this who didn't have curlers also.

I did not participate in this fashion phase!....nope I went right from pin curls to the big pink rollers that had clips on them. We also used the pink sponge rollers which are still available at the dollar store! LOL.....I have used the toilet paper rolls for various things but never thought to roll my hair with them.

We used frozen juice cans. Still don't last past one time and when I say we, it was really my cousins. I watched them do it. That's a different way of recycling. Have to keep a lot of toilet paper rolls. They way my 11 cousins drank juice, could get juice cans a lot in a short period of time. But with that many people, probably could do accumulate a lot of toilet tissue rolls, too.So were you hot and sexy looking?

We never used toilet paper rolls. We used small cans, like the kind that frozen juice concentrate came in. Back then, our mothers all made juice from concentrate and we used the smaller cans as hair curlers. You could buy large plastic hair rollers at the store, but that wasn't as much fun. I actually slept on these things!

That is most interesting. I have never heard of that. How long did these have to stay in the hair in order to get those curls?

I've never heard of this before. I would think that the curls would turn out quite large too. My Mom used to have an old wood burning stove (she still has it but doesn't use it) and she used to take toilet paper rolls, stuff them with lint from the dryer and use it to light fires in the wood stove.

I have never heard of using toilet paper rolls to roll the hair but have heard of using empty, cleaned juice cans opened at both ends. There was an older girl who lived across the street from me who used the cans.

That's funny. Thanks for sharing. I never tried that; but when I was a teen I tried some weird looks. I must go looking for a great funny picture to share later now.

Hi carolbee, That is goung back a while, my sister used to use pipe cleaners and I wanted those new Carmens heated rollers, they were just coming out into fashion and my mum always used to say "girl money don't grow on trees" we'll just have to make do with what we can use. Years later I got my Carmen rollers and I still have them, they are in the attic. Love & Hugs. Tamara

I never had long hair when i was young. My hair is very curly and my mom always had it cut very short! But my sister use to set her hair in rollers that were the size of Cans!
