(This
hairdressing process appears to be similar to the Marcel waving of the earlier
decade but seems the waves are set to dry using combs instead of curling
irons. I remember my mother setting her hair in the same fashion using long
hair pins or bobby pins and then removing them when her hair had fully dryed. I
would imagine the name "bobby pins" came from their being used during the 20s
craze for "bobbed" hair.)
One can readily
find similar combs, hairpins, hair nets, etc. at most any store nearby. Or, you
could find them on eBay with a quick search. :)
