Beauty You Stop
ToLook At

If there is anything in this world
loyelier than a head of silken-like
hair, pronounced in its own color, and
wavy, it is an abundance of it.
1t is just as easy to have hair like
that as to have any at all. 1t is not
always gift of nature, that is true.
But it is always possible if you keep
it clean by brushing it with few
dashes of Danderine. Shampooing
alone can not remove the dandruff
and that oily film which keeps it dull.
Make it a habit to use little Dan
derine on your brush every time you
FIX your hair, and you will always
have soft, lovely, beautiful locks. A
million women are doing it, and as
fast as those who are still struggling
with coarse, dull, lifeless hair, learn
about the marvellous things Danderine
is doing, they can not keep back
their enthusiasm.
Just one thing to be sure of. Use
stiff brush and draw it through the
hair with long, even strokes clear to
the scalp so each strand becomes alive
and glowing. It will help to keep in
your waves.
Danderine is so expensive, too. The
35c bottle contains enough to show
you how wonderful it is. You can
get it from your nearest store.
