NATURAL OILS
IN HAIR MUST
BE RESTORED
BY HELENA RUBINsTEIN.
Famous Beauty Specialist.

After a shampoo your hair needs very
careful attention II it is to be really soft
and pretty. The natural oils must be
restored before the hair is quite dry, else
luster will be lacking.
Gentle massage. In which no oil Is used.
will serve the purpose. Start with the
finger tips near the front Of the head and
abou tan inch from the part on each side
Work back toward the crown.
Be sure your finger nails do not touch
the scalp and injure it, but let your touch
be firm. Do not rub on top of the scalpV
but move it so that 1t loosens. Keep
this up until you have gone over the
whole head and the surface feels warm
and aglow.
The loosening OF the scalp is really the
important thing. Hair which grows on
tight scalp is never soft and glossy.
When the drying process is finished
comb just one strand at time. Begin
at the end and 60 toward the scalp,
twisting each strand separately as you
finish 1t.
After the combing IS finished twist the
strands again, one at a time, and then
brush the fingers lightly over It. moving
In the opposite direction of the twist.
This brings out the split ends and they
can be clipped If there are any that are
TOO dead and colorless.
