If truth be told, I would still wear them if I could find them and wouldn't be considered a kook. :D
Some of them were beautiful.
Anyway, what's happened to them?
I'd like to buy some to use in a few craft projects and, although ebay has some now and then, the prices are too much for me.
I guess they're considered collector items now maybe.
I remember them being pretty inexpensive (I'm speaking of the non-silk ones)
Does anyone know where I can buy some at a "normal" price?
I've googled a little and can only find silk ones.
Thanks.

LOL I bet you and I worn a head scraf at the same time....remember when It was stylish to put those rollers in your hair and go to shopping with a scraf tied around your head...LOL I grew up in a very small town and if you went to town on Saturday with your hair rolled (to be seen of course) It was a sign that you had a date that night......how funny is that...

My Mom still wears a scarve, those see through netting looking things. She has all kinds of different colors. She wears one to the store if she hasn't done her hair in a couple of days. You know the twirl and the bobby pin set up...lol

For some reason this last message is the only one I can see now of this thread I started.
I'm getting a "http status 500 error" message on page 1 of this thread.
Is it my pc or is everyone having trouble?
The other threads are showing up OK for me.

Someone posted the problem to the Admin and he's looking into it.
Hoping you can see my post...
Talbot's has some (probably expensive):

They sell them in their accessories stores, too.
I remember my mother and aunts and their friends wearing headscarves well into the '70s. I was born at the very end of the '50s, so I didn't wear them except occasionally as a child. When it was cold, I had hooded jackets or I wore hats. Maybe my mother stuck scarves on me when it was windy.
Yes, I heard it called "babushka" now and then, too, maybe more by older people. On second thought, I think some of my mother's older sisters used the word at times.

You're right!!
Also all the girls at my high school wore rollers in our hair covered with scarves to school each day and would congregate at the girls bathroom nearest the outside door. When you walked in there was a cloud of hair spray as we all "did" our hair before 1st class. You could barely breathe. Lucky no one lit a cigarette in there (we did that behind the football concession stand .) :lol:
