    Back to the Future: Retro Beauty Gadgets Worth Revisiting

    By Amber Katz, Refinery29
    Technology has brought us amazing advances in hair, ranging from a rotating curling iron to keratin treatments. And that's all good and well. But, in our quest for next big thing, we can easily overlook some exceedingly useful beauty items from days gone by. And that's a mistake.

    These seemingly outdated grooming gems are to beauty what slips are to fashion - and they deserve to be re-embraced. Ahead, a roundup of hair accoutrements that have been around since the Kennedy administration but are surprisingly awesome in modern times, too. Master their usage and then get ready to tell your date to stop getting "handsy" at the drive-in.
