companying Illustrations have been pre-

hair, but repeated practise will gain the
desired effect.
The main secret lies in a proportionate
division of the hair. The low finger puffs

waved front means careful manipulation,
but it requires less hair than the fluffy
pomnadour. The coronet braid is "A simple
