THERE are few girls who do not
= make at least one visit a week
to the beauty shop. The fas-
tidious ones have their own Spe-
cial shop, as they know this will
save time and usually result in
better service. Also, the oper-
ator will understand the quality
and type of hair and he will
have a chance to give it the at
tention it should have. Oily hair
needs frequent shampooing,
and even a more drastic sham
poo than the naturally dry
type.
There are some who feel that
dry hair should not have more
than one shampoo a month.
Their theory is the soap and
water will dry the scalp Of its
natural oil and they advise
thorough brushing and even dry
shampoos of cornmeal and orris
root rather than subject the
hair to so much soap and water.
But so far as we have OBJ
served, soiled hair will always
improve with a good soap and
water shampoo.
The trouble with most home
shampoos is insufficient rinsing.

to have a good spray attached to
the faucet, or to use the shower
for rinSing.
For special rinses, such as
lemon Juice; strain the juice,
then mix with water; a half
glass Of water to one lemon;
apply over the basin so it can
be used to thoroughly wet the
hair. After that, rinse again
with the spray or shower.
When you take the time to do
such a shampoo at home, make
it worth while by combing and
brushing the hair until it is
dry. You will first wrap the
head with a large towel to
partly dry, then begin with the
comb and finish with firm
brushing.

a request for an answer. The abb
