Dear Miss Naleau:
Give me some advice for treatment
oi the hair ]. II. w. Ogden.
Don't brush the hair only. Brush the
scalp until it CLOVIS
Don't brush the hair roughly. Let
the motion of the hand be light and
gentle.
Don't brush the hair in any other
direction than the way in which it
grows.
Don't think that you must not brush
the hair because it is falling out.
AS a rule, don't wash the hair often
or than once a month. Too frequent
washing makes it dry.
Don't use too much soap, boraX Or
soda when taking a shampoo. Substi-
tute yolk of eggs If the hair is ma
turally oily. use only the white of the
egg.
Don't fail to rinse with clear water
and to rub in a little oil after a sham
BOO.
Don't rub the hair briskly with
towels after washing it. There IS dan
ger of breaking the long hairs. Abb
serb the moisture carefully With warm
towels.
Don't neglect daily massage of the
scalp with the tips of the fingers
dipped in cold water; OF use clean
nail brush.
Don't fail to apply tonic 10 hair
and scalp at least once a week.
Don't SINCE or clip the ends of the
hair Don't use a coarse brush. but
one that has long. fine unbleached and
undyed bristles.
Don't buy cheap dressing comb.
IT pays to buy a good flexible tortoise
shell comb even if you must DO with
one dress the less during the year
Don't wear the hair always in the
same style. A change of mode is bene-
fetal.
Don't tie the hair or roll or twist ii
in any way tightly. This strains the
roots Of the hair and is very inju-
rious
Don's use many hairpins If each pin
is made to do its duty and the hair IS
arranged to fit the head. feW pins are
needed.
Dear Miss valeau:
