Throwback Hair Recipe #1

Circa 1990's
Material needed:
1. Synthetic hair (color(s) totally up to you)
2. Magnetic rollers (size up to you, however preferably the pink or green)
3. Just 4 Me Setting lotion
4. Jam gel
5. Multiple rubber bands (just in case)
6. Scarf
7. Bobby pins

Place real hair into a ponytail at the crown of your head. Use Jam gel to smooth hair, lay it down and to ward any stray ends. Avoid only using one rubber band to alleviate frustration. Instead, double or possible triple up.

Once real hair is in place to liking, wrap head with scarf to further hold in place.

Next, saturate synthetic hair with setting lotion and separate into 2-3 inch sections rolling the hair around the magnetic roller. Hair will hold in place. Place synthetic hair with rollers into microwave for, no longer than, 3-5 minutes paying careful attention to burnt smell or sparks coming from microwave. If any of the previous happens remove synthetic hair immediately from the microwave.

Once hair is dry and curls are set remove rollers from the synthetic hair. Shake out or pull apart with fingers the synthetic hair to desired look. Remove the scarf from your head and begin at the crown of your head and carefully secure the synthetic hair with bobby pins to the natural haired ponytail already in place.

Give a head-shake test and once confident the synthetic hair is in place you are complete. *Hint* If bobby pins are not pulling at your natural hair, the synthetic hair is NOT secure, I repeat; is NOT secure. Please abort and try again!
