SPLIT HAIRS.

ITO restore split hairs to a more healthy
state il is necessary to cut off every
hair above the places where it is
split or clipped. Divide the hair into two,
three or four parts, and braid as closely
TO tie head ana as tightly as possible.
lie each braid an inch or so from the
end with thread or wOrsted, or wind a
small rubber hand around it TO keep the
braid from looscHiDg. Hold the end of the
braid firmly with one hand, and with the
other rub the braid the wrong way
that is towards the head-and most of
the hairs which do not extend the whole
length OF the braid will spring out like
the quillS OF a porcupine. With scissors
clip these outstanding hairs, then clip
the ends below where the braid is fastened.
This clipping should be done once in two
weeks. or oftener, until all the split ends
have hcPn CNt.
