There is a neat income for the woman
who will turn her attention to capillurgy.
II there is any one subject in the world
which interests every woman alike, 1t Is her
hair, and patrons will not be wanting to
the enterprising person who sets up an es-
tablishment for hair culture.
The way to make this business "howlfls
success Is not only to treat patrons at
ones shop, which may, at first, be but one
modest room, but to advertise the fact that
patrons will be treated at home Neat lit
tie cards, with terms, ETC., should be freely
distributed, supplemented by advertising in
the local paper. The rate should be some
what less, in proportion where two or three
ladies are treated at the same house-club
rates being held out as inducement.
There are schools Of capillurgy-some-
thing quite new, however-where one may
be scientifically taught everything there is
to learn about the hair: it's growth care
disease and their treatment. Diplomas are
given to graduates. This training is sup
plemented by course of reading, until one
has absorbed vast amount Of information
on the subject
In a newspaper article it is not possible to
go fully into the subject of the care of the
hair and its treatment, but this is written
with the hope that it's suggestions may be
Of enough value to enable one to practice
on obifging friends and relatives, at
trifling expense to them, but which money
thus earned, may later enable the novice to
take course at a school of capillurgy, and
thus to become proficient that larger prices
may be commanded.
To Shampoo the Hair.
To shampoo the hair, part it down the
back, comb the two strands out smoothly,
tie them securely as near the head as pos
sible, and then wash both head and hair
thoroughly. The water must be tepid, not
hot; rinse with cold water. fan is used
for drying the hair, although some people
object to this method; by rubbing with
warm towels, tossing the strands about and
parting and cOmbing here and there, it soon
dries. Whenever possible. dry the hair in
the sun. If the hair is braided loosely be-
fore washing it is not apt to tangle. If
the hair is naturally dry, rub into the scalp
a little almond oil after the shampoo. This
nourfshes the hair Although the hair may
be washed casionally in clear water a
shampoo mixture is usually desirable Soap
Is not often used in these mixtures. A dry
massage, with the finger tips, will make the
head glow, and should always follow a
shampoo.
