BEST FOR THE HAIR
Simple Shampoo Mixtures That
Can Do No Harm.
Soap Jelly Mixed With Eggs ls Az
ways the stapIs-slonde Tressss
Frequently Require Special
Treatment.


There are almost as many formulas
printed for shampoo mixtures as for
face creams. Some of these are ex-
cellent, and others possess no special
cleansing properties, while some are
positively injurious and should never
be experimental with. Here are a few
formulas selected from long list, and
we can select from them according to
our special needs.
| Three eggs lightly beaten with three
tablespoons Of warm water. Rub the
mixture into the hair and on the
scalp taking pains to cleanse quite as
thoroughly as though you we're using
soap shampoo. More eggs can be
used If necessary, but the proportion
of water should be a tablespoon to
each egg If the Odor of the eggs is
unpleasant to you, little toilet water
can be put in half pint OF cold water
and poured over the hair after the last
rinsing.
An egg shampoo with soap jelly is
sometimes more satisfactory than eggs
alone, and the general rule is to use
one teaspoonful OF soap Jelly to each
egg, mixing them well; then I'LL ba-
sin with two quarts Of hot water, hold
the head over 1t and suds the hair well
with the egg mixture, using the water
from the basin to assist in the cleans
ing; rinse In several waters and dry
in the sun.
For blonde hair the following Is adj
vised: The whites of two eggs, four
ounces Of rose water, a half ounce al
cohol and level teaspoonful Of pow
dered borax. Rub into the hair as you
would any other shampoo, cleansing
both hair and scalp, and rinse well in
several waters.
A simple shampoo consists OF half
cup Of olive oil soap, level teaspoon
full of baking soda and generous pint
OF hot water Let stand till cold when
1t will be soft jelly. Wet the hair
first with warm water, and shampoo
with the jelly.
For very oily, dirty hair, take table
spoon of green soap and dissolve 1t in
one pint of hot water by constant stir
ring. Add a half ounce of glycerine
and an ounce Of alcohol This is ex-
.celIent where there is thick dandruff,
as it is very cleansing to the scalp.
White hair is said to be greatly ben
Gifted by a shampoo composed Of
small cup Of shaved white soap In one
and half pints OF boiling water, and
when dissolved add a half pint of bay
rum, a teaspoonful powdered borax
and 20 grains bisulphate of Quinine.
Keep in a glass jar A few drops of
laundry bluing in the last rinse wa
ter will help to prevent the yellow
streaks which spoil many an other
wise snowy crown Of glory"
No matter which shampoo mixture
you select, remember that the secret
OF successful shampooing consists OF
thoroughness In the washing and in
the rinsing also. Three times for the
sudsing are none too many and the
last rinsing should be very moderate.
If the washing and rinsing are proper
ly done, the hair will be soft, glossy
and quickly dried. Carelessness in
the cleansing process Is responsible
when the hair is sticky. hard to dry
and hard to comb.
Artificial heat should not be used
to dry the hair. Sunshine and fresh
air are best and the hair will retain
Its health and vitality much longer If
dried in the. sun. A few moments
brisk brushing is good, but the hair
should never be pulled or the scalJ
irritated.
