Recently, I was introduced to hair straightners by my hairdresser sister. As a hairy-arsed Scotsman, this is unheard of. Unless you frequently frequent the West End of Glasgow. Which I don't.

Anyway. Naturally, I have thick, curly blonde hair but now I can tease my do into all sorts of bewildering experimental existances. I can do Ziggy, McCulloch and Smith with ease, but you catch me currently the middle of procuring my own definitive style. Hours of fun. Really.

To me, this device is obviously an incredible invention, instantly justifying the human race's cancerous existance on this inexplicably wondrous planet.

But...while I was talking to INSATIABLE last night on the telephone, she informed me that Americans frown upon males using these instruments of blatant vanity. A lot was said, but I was left feeling...odd and peculair.

What I'm asking is...am I hiding any latent homosexuality behind my straightners?

I don't care what the fuck you do to your hair, but I miss INSATIABLE



I have proposed marriage to her several times but she never responded


Tell her to come back and post!!!!

Wow and no edits!!



If you don't want to fuck around get a hot comb, it's much more manly. Usually, person being styled would have their scalp and hair oiled with this



while waiting for the comb to heat up on a open flame stove, it was heated until turning a bright orange. After the scalp was oiled and the comb heated, the stylist would run the comb through the clients hair until it took out of the kinks and curls. When their head was finished it look something like this:



Then the stylist would use a curling iron, which was also placed on an open flame, to achieve the final effect.



Keep in mind that these were use until they were electrified. Though, if you would like to straighten your hair and still feel like a man, this would be the way.

Smart-arse.

In the olden days (2010 .B.C) people used to Iron their hair with an Iron to get it straight.

lawd...the truth in this is so funny...

Number23 said:

Those look like my straighteners. My hair is very wavy. Here is a tip! as you do a section of hair, dont hold the Irons for a prolonged period over the same spot, if it doesn't straighten the first time, it's better to go over it 2/3 times, gliding the straightener through the hair rather than holding it in place.

Good advice, that.

Ah, I wish I had a girl who would let me iron her hair...

Lleena said:

That Joan Baez? What a great picture. Bob's dudeness is unrivalled.

Lleena said:

those things are the only thing that will get my hair straight!

I had my hair chemically straightened...kinda like a reverse perm...its so super fab.

It is interesting that you would bring this up. I also have Scottish ancestry and naturally curly dark brownish black hair. Instead of straightening my curly locks with combs, I have resorted to getting it chemically treated with hair relaxer perms b/c straightening combs breakout out my hair and burn it.
