Spoolies??
Do you remember them?? I vaguely recognize the photo, but I’m pretty sure that I have never used them. According to Beanie over at Advantage Style, “These Hair Spools Are Pinless and Pliable.
Unlike conventional hair rollers, which are hard and unforgiving, these tried-and-true hair spools are made of soft, pliable plastic so you can leave them in overnight and still get a good night’s sleep.”
The most “ouchless” rollers I remember were pink foam with plastic snaps that “snapped into place to keep the roller in place. While they certainly were easy to sleep in, they did leave a dent in your hair. Not pretty!

I remember spoolies. Just had a great conversation with someone and decided to look them up on line and found your site.

OMG. I remember my mother using those for my hair as a little girl because she was under the mistaken impression that you could sleep while wearing them. Big ouches. Of course that was nothing compared to using orange juice cans in the ’60’s.

I’m 64 and I remember my aunt in New Jersey wearing them. She always had them in her hair. In fact we wondered if she even had hair. She woke up wearing them and went to bed wearing them. And when she went shopping or anywhere, she would wear a scarf.

I used them when I was a kid, but now I have hot spoolies - my hair always looks fabulous!
