save that it fits very snuglv.
Out of the bulb of the hair in
its follicle, branches out the tiny
root or papilla, which contains
its nerve and blood supply. IL
you pluck a hair from your scalp,
q new one will grow in its place
from the papilla.
It is estimated that the life of
each hair is from two to six
years. After that it drops out
and new hair grows in its
place. That's why it's natural
that a few hairs should drop out
of your scalp each day. These
are the old hairs. You may lose
so or so hairs daily in this way.
The follicle of each hair is en-
bedded in the deepest of the
three layers that make up your
scalp. This bottom layer con-
sists mostly of fat cells. The fat
cells hold rich nourishment for
your hair, and, lubricating your
scalp, permit it to give freely
with different moves of your body
and of scalp massage.
If the fat cells of your scalp
should dry up, your hair would be
starved. just as plant is starved
when the parched earth is packed
hard and dry about it. So if you
wish to have silky, thick, healthy
hair you must pay great attention
to the condition of your scalp.
Hair beauty is largely a result
Of circulation and elimination. If
rich, pure blood doesn't nourish
your scalp and hair. you will have
q head of thin, lifeless, dry hair.
IF the oil glands fail to eliminate
properly. because they are
choked with dust or dandruff or
dried oil, these ducts will harden
and enlarge and so tend to cut
off the blood supply from your
hair.
From these facts. IT'S easy to
see how important it is to keep
your scalp clean and free from
dandruff and dust, and to keep
the circulation of blood through
your scalp active. in order to in
sure beauty and health for your
hair.
Moving the big muscle of the
scalp back and forth with stiff
ened finger-tips is also an excel
lent massage movement Brush

When your scalp begins to feel
