EDITORS COMMENTS
Beauty sleep every night: Helmets that were scientifically shaped to fit the head. This fascinating print from 1932 showcases a unique solution for keeping your hair perfectly styled while you slumber. In an era where beauty standards were high and women took great pride in their appearance, these helmets provided a practical way to protect their carefully coiffed locks.
The image features a woman named Kathleen Howard wearing one of these innovative sleep caps, which securely held her hair in place overnight. The helmet is designed to keep waves and curls intact, ensuring that she wakes up looking just as glamorous as when she went to bed.
This glimpse into the past offers a glimpse of the lengths women would go to maintain their beauty routines. From setting styles with hairnets to using specialized sleeping caps, it's clear that vanity has always been a timeless pursuit.
As we marvel at this relic from the 1930s, we can appreciate the ingenuity and dedication that went into preserving one's appearance even during bedtime. It serves as a reminder of how much effort and care people have historically put into looking their best, no matter the time or place.
