I remember the days... ...when women with long hair spent time in front of a fireplace to dry hair. Of course, if the draft wasn't working right and smoke came into the room, the hair would get all smoky and need to be washed over again. In good weather, nothing beats fresh air and sunshine...with a brush..

It took time and effort to - wash your hair before the electric hair dryer and automatic hot water heaters. That's why a young girl or woman took a whole night off from going out on dates or movies, etc. , especially if you lived in a cold water flat.(Think no heat in any room except for kitchen and parlor).1. You had to fill a pot with cold water and put in on the stove to heat.2.

You then had to wait until the kitchen sink was emptied of after-dinner dishes and pots. You actually put your head over the sink while someone poured warm water (from the pot) over your hair and added shampoo. After sudsing, you rinsed with the rest of the warm water and toweled dry.

3. You then moved over to the kitchen stove or open oven which would still be warm from cooking dinner and combed out any tangles. Then you waited until it was dry before you put in the curlers for the next day at school or work.

4. Repeat once a week. MusicLoverMe's Recommendations Artificial Sweetener Holder, Sweety, Women in Curlers Porcelain Sweetener Tablet Holder in Gift Box Amazon List Price: $20.25 Housewife Wig w/Curlers Blonde .

Beauty Well at times when I do have a hair dryer, I dry my hair by my fan in my room. I put it on all the way high and it gets it dry in about 30 minutes.

Old fashion......... hard or soft bonnet dryer. Before that, back in the 40's my Mom would make me sit outdoor in the sun to dry my long hair. Winter time, the maids would iron towels really hot and wrap my hair to dry.It was a torture.

Why not cutting the hair short? I wonder today..

Depends on how far back you want to go. A wood burning stove was one method. And, of course, the electric fan.

What are the disadvantage and advantages of general hair dryer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
