Woman / 5th May 1967
Well, no, it doesn’t, but this advert is rather optimistic about the effect of a home perm, especially as it boasts about making your hair smell like lemons (which may please any wasps lurking around, but wouldn’t cheer me up). Anyway, wasn’t this woman’s hair quite nice to begin with?

I remember the smell of this. Even the thought of it makes me queasy. Thanks a lot, lol.

Fresh lemons? More like battery acid.
