(This hairdressing process appears to be similar to the Marcel waving of the earlier decade but seems the waves are set to dry using combs instead of curling irons. I remember my mother setting her hair in the same fashion using long hair pins or bobby pins and then removing them when her hair had fully dried. I would imagine the name "bobby pins" came from their being used during the 20s craze for "bobbed" hair.)
One can readily find similar combs, hairpins, hair nets, etc. at most any store nearby. Or, you could find them on Atomic Mall with a quick search. :)
