Marcel wave; marcelling. Every hairdresser might wish to have the success Marcel Grateau had with his curling iron. In 1875, when only 23, this Frenchman invented marcelling, a pro- cess that makes soft, continuous waves in the hair. The Marcel wave became so popular with Parisian women, and women everywhere, that Marcel Grateau made a fortune and was able to retire before turning 30. He lived a long life of luxury in an elegant chateau, and just before his death in 1936, aged 84, France’s hairdressers held a week-long celebration honoring him and his contribution to their craft. |
