Pulled Smooth

for Glamour magazine, August 1971

Shelley appeared on the covers and pages of many major magazines throughout her modeling career. In August of 1971, she appeared in a spread for Glamour magazine called "8 New Hairdos." It featured eight chic new hairdos that young women could recreate for themselves in the comfort of their own homes. Shelley wore four of the eight new hairstyles. They were soft and pretty hairdos for longish hair that could be achieved with either a heated-roller set or a brush and blower technique. In a sweater by Jane Irwill, Shelley modeled the Pulled Smooth look, a hairstyle that could be achieved by using a hand dryer and a wide-space nylon bristle brush. After shampooing and towel-drying the hair (a mild setting lotion could be applied if preferred), pick up sections of hair (about two-and-a-half inches wide and an inch deep) and blow dry for a few seconds six inches away from the hair. Continue this around the head. When the hair is about dry, pull it taunt but not tight and wind it gently. With the dryer four inches from the hair, roll the ends under, and blow it for a few seconds to let the heat "set" the hair. When the set begins to lose (for a change of look), pull the side pieces back, and secure with barrettes. And of course, Shelley looked sensational wearing the Pulled Smooth hairstyle.
