From the 1920s through the 1950s, the beauty industry was just starting to take off with many sensational innovations invented. Quite a lot of them looked more like torture devices and were truly harmful to their consumers health. Weve put together a list of super scary and weird beauty inventions that weve fortunately left in the past.
The Beauty Micrometer fixed tons of metal screws and strips onto a womans head and could require up to 325 adjustments. Obviously, it wasnt always a comfortable procedure since the makeup artist could accidently press the models head with these strips too tightly.
After a six-hour session with the Hair Waver, you can imagine that a lot of women ended up with extremely damaged hair and sometimes even scalp burns.
Not that long ago, freckles were considered flaws, and women with freckled faces were desperate to get rid of them, desperate enough to use the extreme Freckle Remover.
