 That's why beauty experts insist on scalp reconditioning whenever it is possible. Women who have been vacationing for weeks usually have neglected their hair and, too. over-exposure to sun and excessive wetting while swimming have done anything but improve the texture and glossl
 Women should permit beauty ex- perts to give them reconditioning treatments. Then. and only then. will they have the satisfaction Of seeing coiffures fall into shadow waves and puffs and stay ap when de- sired, in the mode of the moment and shine naturally.
