" I have seen this several times and wondered what it was about: Smooth-haired models (like this one backstage at the Matthew Williamson show) sporting paper towels clipped at their temples. It&amp;#x27;s always while they&amp;#x27;re getting their makeup done, so I figured it had something to do with keeping their hair out of their face. (But then, how much would pin-straight hair get in the way) So I finally just asked what they were for and got a surprising answer. Find out what it is after the jump.It prevents the ladies from tucking their hair behind their ears and causing an indentation in their perfect-smooth blowout. (Oh, and of course, the paper towel is key to keeping the clip from creating a crimp.) I might just try it next time I smooth my hair out&amp;amp;#8212;I&amp;#x27;ll never have a &amp;quot;My ear was here&amp;quot; bend again. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
