YOUR

It is natural. of course Old sights

HAIR DYES

In suite of the many different colors
OF hair found among the races OF
mankind. 1t has been determined BY
science that there are only two KINDS
of hair pigment. a reddHn-yeuow
and a sepia-brown. All OF the vafl-
atoms OF color are produced BY the
varying comb.natio-s Of these two
pigments. The density Of the color
may be modified by the thickness Of
the hair. the presence OF air cells
within the hair shaft, and the amount
Of oil present upon and within the
hair cells.
There is no coal black hair pigment.
When analysed. black hair proves to
be only . dense septa-brown. Red
hair consists In an abundance Of the
reddish-yellow pigment and brown
hair Of q moderate amount Of the
sepia brown color. Light yellow hair
has only . small amount Of the red
dish-yellow pigment to which some
air ce1ls may be present. giving q
lighter color. Gray and white hair
is produced by the presence Of air in
the hair shaft and the lack Of the
pigment colors.
We often hear of hair having be-
come gray or white overnight. Many
scientific attempts have been made to
verify this belief. but to date authen-
tic cases have not been recorded. It
Is possible for the hair to gray or
become white within q short time.

frequently receive inquiries rs to
the effect Of dyes upon the system.
Those dyes containing lead and.

but most Of the other dyes are nom
injurious.
The vegetable dyes are not always
reliable in their tints and may lead
to off colors. For this reason they
should be tested upon q small strand
Of hair before the entire head Of hair
is dyed. In using the mineral and
silver dyes, care must be taken to
avoid contact with the skin. Usually
| yasehnc or some such substance is
first placed upon the soalp. skin Of
forehead and ears.
Hair which has been dyed or
bleached is sometimes injured by the
heating afterwards used In producing
curls or waves. Water waving seems
to be the advisable method In these
cases.
Where the hair is partly gray, ii
sometimes is desirable to make 1t
entirely white. Hair can not be dyed
a lighter color, but it may be bleached
with ammonia or peroxide of hydro
gen. When properly performed this
treatment is not injurious and may
enhance the appearance.
The question of dying hair is largely
a matter of individual preference and
