Glossy waving hair should be the lot
OF every woman, but how is it to be
made glossy and waving? To this it
may be replied that all hair is different
and that each variety of hair requires
its own treatment. The treatment which
benefits one kind of hair will spoil an
other.
Hair that's dry is almost always filled
with dandrun. This hes next TO the
scalp and Is unpleasant to see. It does
not really iniure the scalp. But it sits
down and is not nice or well groomed.
Yet how can 1t be helped. where the hair
is dry?
Here is a cure and while using it the
hair is benefited greatly. What is more
its coior is improved and. often. the very
tone of the hair is made better, so that
II has more life and springiness.
Shampoo the hair III a good egg
shampoo. Then rinse 1t thousand
tlmes'-to quote London hair dresser.
And. when ii is all rinsed. dry it well;
Now comes the final touch Part Off
the hair in the middle, making a long
parting right from the middle of the
forehead down to the nape Of the neck.
Take a little almond oil. ~7oisten the
finger tips with it. shake them TO take
off the superfiuouS drop and gently
-spat the parting. Go over 1t lightly
but thoroughly until the scalp shines a
little
Part off the hair again and go over
the next parting in the same manner:
DO not use more than suspicion OF
oil, not enough to drip from the finger
tips. and do not, on any account, get
n particle upon the hair. This is the
best known treatment for the scalp.
For Dry Hair.
DRY hair will never shine, but after
the scalp is treated it will begin to be
oily and it will gradually take on a
little gloss. Repeat and it will be pos
sitively lustrous.
'.Women whose hair is growing gray
and who do not want gray hair can get
around the matter by having the hair
dyed. This viii restore its color Now
comes the treatment of the scalp to
keep ft from coming in gray again, for
the hair must be persuaded to come in
dark, or III its natural color once more.
THE treatment IS almost Identical
with the treatment for dry hair. II is
dry hair which grows gray first. and to
keep IL from getting gray the oil treat
ment is recommended.
e'Where the hair is thin and getting
gray, and where the temples begin TO be
bald the roots OF the hair should be wet

''Women whose hair is gray should
not shampoo the hair too often- Noth-
ing makes the hair as gray as washing
out the natural oils The hair must be
allowed to accumulate oil and 1T must
not be allowed to get soggy. It can be
washed. say. once IN a month or SIX
weeks, which is quite enough
Where hair Is extremely dry 1t should
be brushed often with cornmeal. If the
hair has no oil In II there IS nothing 50
