CARE OF THE HAIR
PROPER GROOMING ESSENTIAL
TO ITS WELFARE.
Nothing Tends More to an Attractive
Appearance Than Well Arranged
and Well Kept Tresses--
Washing and Brushing,

Well.grOomed hair always makes
one look neat and fresh. and If the
hair is kept fluffy and glossy u long
step is made toward an attractive APP
pearance. Very few people realize
how delicate oven the most tendcrly
cared for hair may be. They even
handle 1t roughly, brush it the wrong
way to make II fun, and leave it In a
taugle at night to break with every
restless movement.
When taking the hair down at
night It should always be brushed
out smooth. the scalp brushed for
three or four minutes, and the hair
loosely braided. This brushing takes
the dust out of the hair anu stimu'
lates the circulation in the scalp. It
is impossible to have healthy and
beautiful hair unless the scalp is free
from dust and dandruff. Brushing
and washing will remove both.
1t IL a mistake to wash the hair too
often. Once a month, If dry; twice, II
inclined To be oily, together with thor
ough brushing should be sufficient.
To clean the hair thoroughly 1t
must be washed in soft watcr-rain'
water. II practical; If not, then city
water softened with borax. An excel
lent shampoo for hair that needs n
thorough cleaning Is compounded OF
one ounce of shaved ivory soap, one
ounce Of borax, two tablespoonfuls OF
alcohol, the beaten yolk of one egg,
one pint of warm water. Keep light
ly corked After rubbing the scalp
and hair thoroughly with the sham
poo II should be rinsed with clear,
soft, warm water and then with clear,
cold water, and thoroughly dried,
either in the sun or by artificial heat.
The thorough rlnsing of the hair is
most essential, as the hair does not
breathe" properly II the scalp Is
clogged with any soap, etc. If the
hair is at all inclined to be oily II
must be rinsed three times-first with
almost hot water. then with warm
and lastly with very cold water. This
will leave the hair in an absolutely
clean and normal condition.
