Has the Hood Gone Too Far?

Have you ever heard of rolling your hair with soda cans instead of rollers?  Can anyone tell me what that's about?

A friend swore up and down he saw a chick with her hair rolled in soda cans in a video with Nelly.

WTF?

  4. Necessity is the mother of invention... if you can roll your hair in a pinch with strips of brown paper bag surely you can do it with soda cans. What I want to know is how you hold them jokers in place, especially if you're sleeping.

  6. When folks don't have the means, they'll use whatever they have. I remember growing up, the legs to our couch broke, we used to hold up our couch with four canned good cans. It worked and since the couch had a skirt, no one knew (unless someone lifted up the skirt).

  10. Yes, he claims he saw soda cans. I couldn't verify it because I don't much watch videos, so I was hoping someone could confirm or deny the allegation.

  22. lol! Hair rollers are pretty cheap there is no excuse...However my mom has been known to use torn pieces of brown paper bags to roll up her hair like she is back in the 70s....

  23. Out of curiosity I asked my mom if she heard about this. Apparently it was done back in the day with anything big...soup cans, vegetable cans...to make hair straighter or have bigger, looser curls. You didn't sleep in it, you set it early in the morning or in the afternoon (for the next day). I guess this was a '50's thing.

  24. Oh ok, i guess you did what you had to get the look you wanted but can you imagine walking around the house like that? That looks crazy.

  25. well that makes sense cause she said it was fifties inspired

  26. I remember those old pictures of white women with the huge rollers in their head. I knew about pin curls, (with the hair pins) but I never knew about the paper sack rollers ... how did that work??

    I think that video was too cute. Actually, that whole CD is pretty good.

  27. You tear the paper sack up in strips and twist the pieces up and you wrap your hair around the paper twists and twist the ends of the paper up and voila! You have rollers...take them out and you have curls...

  28. My mom used to do her hair like that when she was younger...
