mistlesuede February 3rd, 2016 at 13:56
I don’t know actually. I just had a memory of it come back to me with the pin-curls thing. :)
I just searched it and found this:

It looks like you can buy the original at Walgreens and on Amazon!
allison1050 February 3rd, 2016 at 14:00
You can even purchase Wild Root on Amazon, do you remember that?
mistlesuede February 3rd, 2016 at 14:06
No-what is it?
allison1050 February 3rd, 2016 at 14:10
It was out in the 50’s and 60’s as I recall. It came in a clear bottle and the liquid was/is white. You put a little in the palm and rubbed your palms together and rubbed your hair then combed. I used to love the smell. It was sold in drug store and Woolworth’s as I recall.
mistlesuede February 3rd, 2016 at 16:16
Was it a setting gel like the dippity doo? I have no memory of it, but I do remember Woolworth stores! Those were the days. I was a wee one in the 60’s but I remember some things.
allison1050 February 3rd, 2016 at 19:59
More like an oil. I was in high school in the late 60’s . I used to love the old Woolworth’s in San Francisco on Market St and Powell. They had those old wooden floors that were beautiful.
mistlesuede February 4th, 2016 at 09:40
We have an old style five and dime type store about thirty minutes from where I live called Vidler’s. They still have those floors! It’s so loud when everyone is walking around. It’s a cool place. Two floors and the atmosphere is the same feeling as being in Woolworth’s. I haven’t been there in a long time, but our son was there at Christmastime.
They were in a competition to have a free advertisement during the Super Bowl. I just heard Tuesday that they did not win, but they did receive a very large cash prize.

erm, my family.”
libpatriot February 3rd, 2016 at 14:50
His statements discouraging kowtowing to Netanyahu were the only things he ever said that made any sense to me.
