brushed or combed and frequently
burned. The prevailing style of cur
ling the hair in the Marcel wave Is
extremely injurious to a good head

iron are sharp and the continued use
of these irons will cut and burn the
hair at these points. The best hair
dressers tell you that too much brush
ing Is Injurious, since it draws the
hair out of the head. making 1t thin
on the sides. Massage Is better than
brushing and brings forth better re-
suits. BY washing the hair at home,
the use of towels in drying itais one
form of massage which is eliminated
when the hair is dried with hot air.

tangles, and the hair can be rated
