If your hair was long, well, God help you altogether.
When you were done with the bleaching process, shampoo; then remove the cap - voila! Theoretically, your hair would be perfectly frosted! Okay, but pulling strands of hair through those holes with that metal hook was sheer torture. I'm pretty sure that many people gave up part way through.

Yes, I remember that. I wonder if it's still being sold that way.
Not that I plan to have my hair frosted now. Pushing 60 years old, my hair is finally starting to be a little bit frosty by nature. Not a lot, but a little. Besides, I colored my hair for so many years that I developed an allergy, and now I can't.
