Thanks nanabird! I thought those curls at the temple were spit curls also. I figured they were called that because usually my grandmother would lick (spit) her finger and then force the curls in, making me hold it until it dried or putting a bobby pin in place to hold it. That was usually before church on Sundays and I was such a tom boy my hair never stayed anywhere. :lol: Thankfully Aqua Net was not something she used a lot of.
Wouldn't the pins holding all those curls poke your head when you were trying to sleep? I used to do rag curls with my girls. That is where you take a 1x6 inch strip of fabric, wrap the wet hair around it like a curler, then sleep in it overnight. It makes the cutest Shirley Temple curls!
