The proper way to brush the hair. ,
says a Well-known hair-dresser, ais moi
to brush 1t lengthwise, but to hold the
ends OF the halr If it is long enough, and
SIMPLY scrub the scalp with the brush.
T process promotes the circulation of
the blood and excites the oil-glands to
action. After the hair has been thorough
iy brushed in this way, it should be then
finished with a few vigorous strokes
iengthwise of the hair.
