Why/when did the practice of girls ironing their hair, end?

It didn’t end… Still very common, very easy to spot, and very hot!

no Jack, TONS of women still use a flat iron on their hair.

Well, everyone now knows exactly how “out of touch” I really am!

It was stylish to have long, straight hair. So women who didn’t naturally have long, straight hair ironed it. When it was no longer stylish to have long, straight hair, the practice stopped being as common.

My girlfriend just bought a flat iron to straighten her hair, which is staight naturally anyways. Go figure! It looks like a curling iron, but has to flat ends, so she puts it on the the head and slowly pulls it down toward the ends. I don’t notice much difference when she’s done, but she thinks it makes a world of difference.

if you mean iron as in the one you use to iron clothes, those are used on hair because they kept hair straight for a long period of time. Straightning irons are the same thing but unless its ceramic it will ruin your hair

I don’t know what you’re talking about, Jack. I have two hair irons, and my stylist uses one on my hair too. They even make hair irons that dry your hair as you straighten it now.
