How 10 Keep tho Head Clean snd ssalp
Free From Dandrua.
"One Of the principal causes for dan.
druff is lack Of cleanliness" says 4
noted hair specialist. The dust and per-
spiration clog the pores and cannot be
entirely removed by combing or brush.
Ing. It gives an untidy look to the hair,
and il allowed to remain causes it to
fall out The fret step necessary to re-.
move the dandruff and &c: the scalp in
good condition is to wash it thoroughly
Use soft water. heated until it is lit
tle warmer than new milk, and dis
solve q little powdered borax in it.
Wash until the head is clean. using
enough good soap to make suds. Then
rinse with clear water and wipe with q
towel. Wien it is dry, rub. q little
pomade or vaseline into tho roots to
supply the oil that was removed by
washing. 1t is rot necessary to oil the
Eair at any other time.
After the hair is clean keep it SO by
protecting it with dusti&g cap while
sweeping. taking up ashes and doing
other work Of that kind. Brush it every
night to remove the dust of the day, d.
viding it in two parts and allowing half
CT it to fall over each shoulder. 1t
should hang loosely nm hour or two each
day il possible to allow the air to cir.
culate freely through it. Dissolve an
ounce Of grm camphor and an ounce Of
borax in q quart Of hot water and apply
little Of the solution to the roots Of
the hair once or twice 4 week with a
soft sponge. Rinse with clear water.
Borax is excellent for the hair, oleane-
ing and softening It wonderfully. A
thorough washing should bo given it
once month.
