CARE OF THE HAIR.
Will some one please to give. through THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE, a simple remedy TO remove
dandruf. aud prevent tie hair from ialilhS ou' =!
J. o. Harpsier.
1t is 10 be hoped that our c. C. friend will be
successful in finding quick panacea for that most
annoying affection of the head dandruf; but ior
the present few suggestions
The white scales or flakes which. with SO many,
sift from the hair when 7combing it. usually come
from a dry feyerish condition of the scalp. This
condition usually attends follows some dis
turbed condition OF the system, though it is often
caused by too frequent washing of the head, or by
combng it with q savage-toothed comb or brush
ing it violently with metal or bristes brush. The
little oil sacks in which The hair takes root
are exceedingly sensitive, and readily stopped up
or broken. Better wash the head too little than
too much: and better scrape the scalp as little as
possible.
When combing the hair use coarse comb with
blunt teeth and stiff, soft brush First comb out
the snarIs aud dust and then brush the hair slowly
with hand. following the brush with the other,
until the hair is smooth and shining. III the scalp
Is dry dip your fitger into little vasaline and rub
with the ball of the finger acrossthe part affected;
then brush and smoother for 10 or Is minutes.
Seldom. if ever. a fine-tooth comb and then
with the greatest care the little sack That holds
a hair is once destroyed it does not grow again.
There are q great mauy rostrums and washes
prescribed for The hair; beware of them all. If
your hair is inclined TO be too oily, tie hair may
be washed in y mild solution of borax water. Soda
water, If strong. beaches the hair until 1t is
sfreakei.
The best hair cleaner and safest Is q beaten egg
thoroughly rubbed ia and then thoroughly washed
Off If your hair is long and thick. do not use ii.
DO NOS anything as the least healthy head is
tempered with the better.
If your scalp is dry and harsh. and the hair be-
gins 10 fall of. apply daily wash made by dis
solving 20 grains OF quiBine in pint OF whisky.
Or you may get pint o.: oil, cut with alco
hol, and perfuned with bergainot or rose.
