Who has used Dippity Do?

[Claireg]

I am wondering... Has anyone tried styling with Dippity Do?
It was apparently used for setting curls - apply gel and then curl.
It has been "modernised" damn it, but i think its the same formula.
Before i wade in and buy has anyone had results??

Is that still around??? We used to use that when I was a kid -- it was sort of a greenish-blue jelly-like setting lotion you'd run thru your hair before putting in curlers. The way we'd apply it is to grab a dab out of the jar and sort of pull a lock of hair between our fingers to sort of work it in and then roll the hair. As I remember, the results tended to be kind of crispy if you used too much, so we'd often have to wash our hair and start over. So if you try it now, and if it's the same stuff, a little goes a very long way.

Hi, yes, I've used Dippity Doo and the last place I was able to buy it was Sally beauty supply. As LizzieMaine says a little goes a long way. I used it for finger waving type stuff though, I've not rolled a set of pincurls with it.

We used it back in the 80s to spike our hair it can be very crispy if you use a lot.

I used it when I was about 16 to make my hair stand up. That stuff is strong. I had never thought of using it as a setting aide, but it might work. If you do, like the other ladies said, use just a little, because it definitely gets crispy, and get the regular hold - never the strong holds. They skip crispy and go rock hard.
