Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1938-03-07

taking away that mousy look It comes
IN several well-blended shades to be
chosen according to the individual COL
or OF your hair. However, 1t is not q
bleach, but shampoo tint.
This shampoo with the color accent
ing feature comes in five shades to
blend with light, medium or dark
hair. For the silver or ash blond,
dawn will add the proper highlights,
while golden or straw blends should
choose a more brilliant color.
The brown heads and red heads
have two choices and the woman with
grey or white hair has her own spe-
cial blend called starlight. Applied
like an ordinary shampoo this prepa-
ration is worked up into a lather and
left on the hair for 10 minutes before
it is rinsed of. It may be done at
home or you may ask for it in your
favorite beauty shop.
II your hair has lovely color natu-
rally. and you are more interested in
just giving 1t thorough cleansing
that will leave the scalp free from
any suggestions Of dandruff, foamy
oil shampoo is better than soap. 1t
is much easier to use and II massaged
into the scalp acts as a stimulating
tonic treatment and rinses out without
the aid Of lemon or vinegar. This
foamy oil shampoo makes a rich, bill
lowy lather and leaves the hair soft
and manageable. A shampoo that
contains no alkali, will not dry out
the hair and is safe one to use.
An olive oil shampoo that rinses out
easily is a JOY to use, too. and for the
excessively oily head a pine tar sham
poo treatment is more effective than
the olive oil. This is also easily rinsed
out, as most modern shampoos are,
in the attempt to make things easier
for every one.

NEXT comes the problem of setting
the waves, or coaxing some If
you don't have any. In this connec-
ton We heard such an interesting
story about a man who discovered
that the fiber Of a certain tree In
Siberia produces a fluid when placed
in water that Is marvellous for wave
setting and cuts down the drying time
10 one-half. This natural, non sticky
fluid containing vegetable oil and in
gradients beneficial to hair and scalp
is often used as tonic treatment and
massaged into the scalp as well as
being applied as a waving lotion. It
is used in several local hairdressing
salons and considered most satisfac-
tory In one shop it is used for all
finger waving. and in others it is used
when specified by the client, or when
particularly quick job of drying is
requested.
Try one Of these treatments and
see for yourself how soft your hair
feels afterwards and the sheen that
it gives will amaze you. If you have
been troubled with dandru1 you will
find that 1t will remove it, leaving the
scalp clean and healthy looking. This
product Is not sold for home use.
A new item that has appeared re-
Gently in the stores will be welcomed
in many homes for that difficult chore
Of keeping the comb and brush clean.
For. of course, proper care Of the hair
includes clean brush and comb at
all times. But 1t is job that nobody
likes, so here is an easy way out of it.
This new product that is sold at
the brush counter or the toilet counter |
comes in a tall can and looks like
crystal grains. A tablespoon full is
poured into quart of water and
then the comb is dropped in and let |
remain for few minutes. Then run
q brush through the teeth Of the
comb to dislodge all dirt. To clean
the brush, dip the bristles into the |
solution and help along by running the |
fingers through the bristles, then |
swish 1t several times Inf the water.
One solution will effectively clean half |
q dozen or more combs and brushes.
