/ tion." and they used TO have all kind
OF fun telling the happenings Of the dA,
while they bfandished hair brushes and
FURNISHED up each others names.
The pomade or dressing they used on
their hair was plain salad oil. but the
brushing, which lasted from ten to twenty
minutes. was so healthy and fine for
the hair that they only had TO wash
their heads about once I'm three weeks,
and II always looked beautiful.
! am n great believer In brushing and
! think you want to be lust as careful
In having the right hair brush as you
would be in getting the right kind OF
shoes for yourself. Many brushes simply
tear the hair; others don't 90 deep
enough into II and are too soft. A strong
bristle brush or 4 wire brush with rubber
bottom is good. but. above all things,
the brush must be kept perfectly clean.
Brush your hair at least five minutes
every day and don't always brush 1t the
same way That Is TO say. sometimes
brush the hair back. then part II and
brush II more forward.
HAIR BuAfres
The 1ustre OF the hair depends on the
amount OF light that Is reflected from
each particular fibre. and this depends on
the amount OF oil with which the fibre
IL coated. So when your hair Ia dull II
lacks oil or polish. and you can supply
the polish with brush and little bit
Of brilllantine or plain olive, lavender or
cocoanut oil. The last is very good for
the hair and makes it Erow. In applying
an oil, don't saturate the scalp with oil.
but put llttele bit on the palm Of your
hand, rub that over the bristles OF your
brush, and then brush the hair.
Now, as 10 shsmpooing the hair. !
don't think anyone can set down q fixed
rule, stating just how often any other
person should wash their hair. II you
are out in the dust or wind a great deal
your scalp will get dirty. but naturally
II you are not subjected TO dust or dirt.
and especially II your scalp Is not very
dry. you can go several weeks without
needing a shampoo.
Wash the hair with a soap Jelly made
Of soap chopped up fine and boiled in
water until II Is Of the consistency OF
Jelly when II cools. Use rain water In.
stead Of ordinary water, II you can, and
before washing the hair, rub the sealp
thoroughly with the yolk Of an egg. After
you have applied the egg and rubbed II
thoroughly over the scalp. wash fl of
with tepid water: a great many people
using an egg shampoo have their water
too hot. and then wonder what is tbs
matter. OF course, they have cooked the
| egg. After you have washed the egg out
put on your soap jelly and plenty Of hot
water. and wash thoroughly Then rinss
with hot and cold water.
Arranging the HAIR.
Now. as to doing up the hair. What 1,
the prettiest way In which to arrang,
the hair? That is a question which seyera
people have asked me, but 10 which !
could give no real answer unless l couId
see the person. One thing Is certain-ii
your style OF hairdressing Is usually be.
| coming TO you, don't alter It TO suit the
fashion unless the momentary style Il
even more favorable to your looks.
A quaint, old-fashioned style Of arraug.
Ing the hair is always attractive and dis
tinctive, providing 1t goes with the gen
| eral character Of the face.
People with long faces should fluff the
hair out at the sides and they should not
insist on wearing long drawn out knots
at the nape Of the neck or in plIIng the
hair up very high on the top OF the head,
or In wearing peaked pompadours Where
the forehead Is too high cover 1t with a
bang or . few small rnrls lust IN frnnl
