Woman's Weekly / 2nd April 1965
Right. So this advert’s saying that you can’t attend family events if your hair’s a bit of a state, as if any of your loved ones would really give a damn. Still, Prom does look tempting; after all, you might get flirted with by a camp-looking photographer!

Well, she IS only a woman, after all. I’m reminded of the BSM ad which reassures women that now they have more machines for housework, they’d be able to drive, also on this site: http://www.gypsycreams.org/2009/11/bsm-reach-out-women

Well, I don’t want to let my daughter down on a very important day, but my hair is a bit rubbish! What’s a woman to do?!

Yes, you definitely wouldn’t look like a grandmother with a perm.
