Old School Beauty Treatments That Should Stay Vintage

Using A Literal Iron

Ever wonder how people got their hair to look so straight back in the day? Well, wonder no more. The hair treatment used before the invention of a hair straightener is actually a fairly simple one. People simply used the same iron used to straighten clothes. Yes, that extremely hot flat surface used exclusively to flatten clothes today was also used to get hair straight before the modern hair straightener.

While we're not sure exactly how many injuries resulted from this, we can safely assume that it was even worse for your hair than modern straighteners.
