, WAVY HAIR IS 4
WOMAN'S CHARM Z
A>~>~>>>>>>>>>>

THE prettiest hair always has a
slight natural wave in it. It is i'm
possible to dress straight hair as be-
comingly as hair that curls a little"
said the Beauty Doctor. IF I was a
fairy god-mother I'd put wave into
every girls hair with a wave of my
wand.
II thought waved hair had gone out
of fashion, said the Sunday Post
woman.
IF you mean the artificial looking
marcel wave, with its stiff rather
tight kinks, that went out of vogue
a long time ago. and a good think id
did too, for It spoiled the hair and
made any woman who was getting on
the shady side of 80 look much older
than she really was"
What kind of wave are you talk
| ing about. them was asked.
THE kind that Dame Nature puts
! into the hair, and the kind that the
beauty doctor who is up-to-date
knows how to initiate so that it can
not be told from the original. Any
woman can have wavy hair if she is
willing to take little trouble"
Without injuring the hair?'
Certainly. / wouldn't recommend
anything that injured the hair. If
your hair is once spoiled it is very
difficult. if not almost impossible, to
get 1t into condition again. But the
new water wave, or even the wave
made with a warm iron, does not
hurt the hair, and If one wants to
wear big hat becomingly it is abso-
lutely necessary to wave the hair a lit
tie, especially around the face, for
such hat is not becoming unless the
features are softened by an artistic
wave of the hair at the sides.
"The water wave of which I have
just spoken is the most natural-look-
ing of all waves, and it lasts we'll on
most hair, especially on soft hair. But
If the hair is inclined to be oily all
the grease must be washed out before
trying the water wave, for only hair
will not curl except by the use of
irons hot enough to dry out the oil
'"The most natural looking water
wave is made by brushing the hair
flat to the head with a wet hair
brush 1t must then be pushed out
from the forehead with a comb for
about an inch and pinned close to the
head with invisible hairpins. The
hair Is then pushed out again and
pinned down and this is repeated un-
til the entire head is covered. An old |
chiffon veil tied over the head keeps |
the curls in place during the night. |
If the hair curls rather easily some
times it is only necessary to keep it UP
in this way for an hour or two, in
which case it can be entirely con-
cealed by boudoir cap.
'If the hair is stiff and difficult
to curl dip the brush in soapsuds
made from CASTLE soap or any pure
white soap and it will be found much
more amenable to discipline and the
waves will stay in longer. Another
way to make wave is to bind the
hair down with bands of tape or rib
bon in the fashion of fillet.
And a third way-though in this
case the waves are stiffer and not
quite so natural looking-is to twist
the hair over the long wire hair pins
that come for the purpose. but great

the largest hairpins one can buy: for
it must be borne in mind that stiffly
hair is no longer the mode,
one must strive always for the soft
natural effect.
"Of course. the easiest way to
make the hair appear wavy is to use
a hot iron. The rather large iron
with the single prong is the best as I
this does not make the hair crack I
and break off as does the iron with
many prongs. The great danger of
IRONS to the hair is that most people I
are inclined to use them too hot
Irons heated by electricity are the
best. as these give a more even heat.
'But any iron, no matter in what
way 1t is heated, should always be
.ried on paper before being used on
he hair, and if it even smokes In the
very slightest degree. it is too hot,
while the iron that leaves a scorch
