The Zwanks were both “blessed” with LOTS of naturally curly hair.
And of course, Jerry was blessed with a whole new crop, a detached one, that he apparently bought when the first crop was lost.
BTW… as a hairstylist, I can tell you that they do make curlers that are incredibly small….
I’ve seen perm rods as thin as toothpicks.
The old fashioned idea was that you wanted your perm really really tight, just to “get your money’s worth”… and so it would “last longer.”
Then you rolled your hair every night on larger curlers or rollers, to fight the kinks and smooth it out….
but the tight perm supposedly made those curls hold longer.
So you paid for a perm, but still had to set your hair, or it was a mess….
and it was a mess anyway if it rained…
and it didn’t last any longer, nor did the curls.
Besides that, it took hours for the stylist to roll it on rods…
and the solution that would make it that tight was harsh and left your hair broken and feeling like Brillo.
But hey, you were “blessed” to look like Mrs. Zwank.
And ANOTHER zinger from the Burl-esk!! Wheeeee!
