geometrical design in very small broken

also a good grade of olive green can
be used. A cream paper, toned to oak,

light paper is preferable in a narrow,

Hair to be beautiful must be healthy
and hair to be healthy must be clean
hence the necessity of proper shampoo
every three to six weeks, avoidins
soaps which contain a large amount
OF gum or rosin, as these leave the hair
stiff. gummy and rough.
Apply olive oil or Vaseline to the
roots Of the hair the night before the
shampoo-this leaves the hair soft and
SILKY. After rinsing the hair roll it in
a heavy towel, which will absorb part
of the water, then dry by brushing with
the metal hair-drying brush, or by
rubbing with towels while sitting by
the stove or in the sun.
The metal h~airbrush is of nickel
