For All Your Bouffant Needs
Bizarre August 8th, 2009Holy Marge Simpson! Look what blew into my yard today.
I don’t I remember the last time I saw a woman wearing one of these, but there must be at least one bouffant-headed woman in my neighborhood.
If you happen to wear a bouffant hairstyle or something else as worthy of protecting, you may be interested in other products the Betty Dain company makes.
Or not. I’m guessing not.
The Sister Mary Catherine: For when you’re feeling particularly pious on rainy days.
The Wedding Cake Topper: What? Why? I don’t get it. That’s not a cap. It’s a pair of granny panties.
The Bee Keeper: I could have used one of these last week. Of course, no one would have wanted to sit next to me at lunch. But that’s the price you’d pay for the bee keeper look.
The Conehead: For the severely pointy-headed among us.
The Dork: "Trendy and masculine?" Nice try, Betty Dain. Nice try.
Stumble it!

Holy crap! It doesn’t take much but I’m speechless here. Not a very good first impression to make on a Comments page but GAH! Every one is worse than the last. Just goes to show women will buy just about anything if you market it. Especially if they’re barking mad and/or blind.

My granny didn’t have a bouffant, but she did wear those little rain bonnet things. She was a believer in the whole “wash and set once a week” practice, and she spent every Saturday in curlers. She would cover her curlers with the rain bonnet when we went to the grocery store.
Btw, I think the “wedding cake topper” is supposed to protect your ‘do while you’re sleeping.

LOL obviously none of you spend hours getting your hair just so. Let me tell ya, I am one of those women that wash and set weekly, and I wear the hell out of these. Any vintage styling takes forever and I certainly don’t want the rain to ruin it.
Frankly, by the time I spent a day washing, setting and then styling (and yes I wear bouffant styles as well), you protect your hair, no matter the age.
The Beekeeper is for dressing so you don’t mess your hair or makeup up or get it on your clothing. Granny panties is for sleeping in. Just FYI. (And I use a beekeeper when I have an expensive dress I’ve invested hours making, and there is no way I’m messing my hair, make up OR garment up!) I wear a bandanna to sleep in, because those do look like panties.

On the man’s cap:
“Trendy and masculine color”
It’s BLACK for criminy sakes!!!! Geesh.
“Protective liner to prevent bleeding”
Another priceless feature. I mean, when you look in the mirror and see just how dorky you look, you’ll wanna do yourself in. However, the “trendy” cap will save you by preventing cranial blood loss.
At least, that’s how *I* read it.
But I could be wrong.

I use henna to colour my hair, which means wrapping my head in cling-wrap for about four hours. My fiancé says I look like a cone head, now I want one of those cone head ones for dying my hair! ^_^
And that ‘trendy masculine’ cap is for hair dying, specifically, for doing the tips. That’s why there’s all the little holes, and why they mention the no bleeding thing. ^_^
August 9th, 2009 at 6:29 am
edder — The good news is that, at least for the pointy and weird shower caps, women are wearing them indoors. Can’t be scaring small children outside, you know?
Bella Casa — I couldn’t stop laughing as I clicked through their selections. Something about “modeling” them in a bath towel cracked me up.
TheWordWire — So they’re having a fire sale on capes? Loved the models for those, too.
Sniffie and the Florida Furkids — You wouldn’t see bouffants in my yearbook, but you’d see a lot of feathers, wings and hairspray.
absepa — I’m guessing that’ll be me in my later years. Could be a cap, could be a wig. I have this terrible fear that for all the hair I have now, I’ll go bald when I’m 80. I think that’s because my stylist keeps yelling at me for plucking my gray hairs. She says I’ll go bald if I keep doing that.
Corrina — All I can think is how the model must have felt posing for that picture. Probably not the highlight of her career.
Stephanie Barr — That’s OK. You can comment next post.
Jaffer — You watch. Now that I said I never see a woman wearing one, I’ll see them everywhere.
Roxanne Green — Seriously. Had to write about it. When such a random weird thing lands in your yard, it belongs on the blog, don’t you think?
SewDucky — My problem is I’m never very happy with the style I get when I leave the salon, I would have no need for these. In fact, I don’t even ask to have my hair dried before I go. (Don’t tell my stylist). I understand the reason for The Beekeeper, but wouldn’t one’s makeup still get smudged when you put your clothes on? I suppose at least it won’t get on the clothing. I still don’t get the ring thing on the granny panties one.
Maureen — I know! If you didn’t know it was a supply for hair highlighting, the bleeding thing sounds scary! Besides, how can it protect from bleeding if there are holes in it?
Leeuna — Yes, the towel is an integral part of the style. And it must be white terry cloth. And thick. We’re going for model here!
Karen at Blazing Minds — Hey, at least she didn’t wear The Conehead, right? Right?
Daisy the Curly Cat — I thought that too! A little sheepish, eh? I’m quite sure he would have rather modeled a cape. Gee, Daisy, maybe he could take some modeling tips from you. You do it SO much better!
Cromely — Or the nerds. Hey, thanks for the Stumble!
Elisha — Wow, four hours! The Conehead one could serve double duty for a halloween party, I’m sure of it. I’m also sure it could poke someone’s eye out.

An, uh, who’s wearing this in your ‘hood?? Got any grannies around there?? Kinda makes you wonder what happened to granny if her rain hat is blowing around the neighborhood.

I’m glad you explained the bleeding thing. I was beginning to worry that someone had invented a hat just for people with tender scalps that are prone to unexpected fits of hemorrhaging. But if that were true, a nice hat to prevent that problem would come in handy. No doubt about it.
Oh, and by all means yes… those ARE trendy. All the kids are wearing them these days.

The beekeeper mask uses your own hairdo to sort of keep it out of your face, because you don’t put lipstick on until you’re ready to go, which IS the big mess up. Eye makeup and foundation/powder doesn’t seem to stick to the mesh. (Yes I am southern, and yes I have big hair before I do a thing to it AND I have big boobs. It’s normal.)
Granny panty rings…if you think back to Cloris Leachman’s character on Mary Tyler Moore Show, right there you can indeed see how it’s supposed to be worn, and why. It covers the head for sleeping, and gives support to that part of the up do. These are all REALLY dated items, true, and you need to visualize late 60s early 70s hair I think to really “get” these.
The conehead shower cap is for a few things: comfort, long hair, up dos…a traditional cap is kind of small and this does give plenty of room if you have hair longer then the 40s middy (3-4″ length), it’s styled (big) or a combo of all of them.
As to being a little blue hair thing, they’re not THAT bad in black. They will never be trendy, but who really looks at what’s on your head when you’re rushing into a store? I personally know quite a few women below “blue hairs” that wear them and have them. It really is a matter of being inconvenienced for a few seconds to look good or not.

I just wondering, what is the advantages using this if compare with umbrella? With this one we cannot cover the body.
What I can thinking, umbrella can be broken if hit by heavy rain or wind. or combine this cap with umbrella just like Jaffer said. It is hard to use it as stand-alone-protector aginst rain.

Susan — I was really lucky because I almost never pick up wayward trash in my yard. I wait until it blows into someone else’s.
Lynne Demeter — Ha! Yea, I wonder if Betty Dain sells more product in the south?
The Always Thinkin’ Trade Show Guru Steve — I need an entire suit. My legs are really bitten up. Actually, only my left leg. Weirdest thing. Doesn’t my right leg taste as good?
Lin — You are dating yourself, but I remember the teenie bags, too, so no worries. You know what else you never seen anymore? Galoshes. Think about it.
JD at I Do Things — And it should come in a delicious buttery color.
Babs Beetle — As long as you aren’t wearing The Conehead out in public.
Jeff — Doesn’t the guy look like he’s about to hemorrhage? Or something. Yes, they’re all the rage. As halloween costumes. Or something.
feefifoto — Har! A few weeks ago a white plastic bag tumbled through my back yard. I thought it was a sign from Windy that she’s OK. I’d freak if a whole bunch of plastics congregated here.
Barb WillThink4Wine — Ah, yes. The blue hairs. BTW, anyone know why that happens? Why do stylists let their clients leave the salon with a blue head?
grannyann — I can’t even see someone sleeping in The Conehead. No one’s bed is THAT long, so their hair would most certainly get crushed anyway.
misspiggytoes — Aw, but you took one, didn’t you? I know our Miss Piggy Toes has manners.
meleah rebeccah — Plus, you probably can’t see. Although the good news is you’d probably only wear it a minute while you dressed. Or never. I’m guessing those aren’t a big seller. Which leads to a question: Do you put on your makeup after getting dressed or before? I’m an after.
Will — I say that I’ll never do that when I’m that age, but you never know. I’m still stuck on the idea that some women “set” their hair and wear it like that for a week. They must sleep standing up.
laneerg — The Conehead? Zero.
Kim — He looks like someone’s about to hit him over the head with a two by four.
kathryn — Awesome! You have one creative mind. All I could think to use them for is as part of a costume.
SewDucky — Ah, so the big hair, big boobs from the big south is true? I can’t for the life of me remember Cloris’ character wearing one. I think I need to google that. So it is for an up do then. You have to admit the Conehead is hilarious, though.
Chris — Also, guys pretty much don’t care how they look. Am I right?
Ruri — It’s all about keeping the hair in place. Hell, I should consider it on windy days. I’ve left the house with a nice do, only to have it completely blown out in the 30 feet it takes me to get to the office.
August 10th, 2009 at 7:16 am
I gotta give the model credit for staring into space — off camera, since it’s so much more realistic — and plastering a smile on her face.
I have to say I do like the bee keeper, though. I can imagine scaring and then permanently psychologically scarring my children for life while wearing that one.

As the daughter of a hairdresser, I’ve seen my share of boufants and people wearing these silly hats. My mother had a parade of little old ladies from the neighborhood come every Saturday morning for their wash and sets. There was so much hair spray flying that there was a cloud all morning in our kitchen. What best to protect your now beautiful hairdo with but a plastic bonnet?
You should have seen my grandmother when she went to bed. To protect her hair for the week she used a combination of cardboard toilet paper rolls and hair net to protect her hair from collapsing as she slept.
I am forever thankful for my wash and wear type hairstyle. I would never had made it as a “lady” of the fifties.

melissan — Laughing about the cloud. But sorry! I can’t picture the toilet paper roll contraption, but God bless her for trying. I’d sooner shave my head than parade around like that.
John J Savo — I suppose congratulations are in order.
Preston — Who’s Harry Potter? Just kidding. Sort of. I haven’t read the books so I’ll take your word for it. I know. Shame on me. (And I’m the one with the sad life, not you.)
Sherry at EX Marks the Spot — As long as you’re not wearing them now…
Rick — Funny! And like Carol Burnett when she wore the curtain rod in the classic Gone With the Wind sketch. I’m convinced crazy fashions make it to market because all the designers are fresh out of sane ideas.
LaTonya — Yeah, but don’t you think the Bee Keeper is messing up her hair even more? It’s counter-productive, if you ask me.

My Grandma uses that brand. LOL. Hers is not so much a bouffant as a football helmet.

Chris at TheSnackHound — Oh, how cute to use for action figures’ luggage! I can just picture them. “Honey, there’s a Star Wars convention. Pack your bags!”
Wendy — Football helmet! Awesome. I had that look. 1983. Achieved with a can of hairspray.

It’s funny to hear that you wear a bandanna to sleep in
