Men Are Lazy
About Care
OF Scalp
Daily Routine Must
Be Followed to
Gain Results
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Men are as obstinate as children
when they are told what to do for
scalp care. Hundreds write me
about their scalp problems, but few
follow advice when they receive it!
They live along in the blind, stupid
faith, that nature will automatically
grow them crop of new hair, and
the present craving and falling con-
dition is something that will correct
itself in time!
Unfortunately, no scalp ailment
will correct itself! If a man has
dandruff, falling hair, a sensitive
scalp, rapidly graying scalp or an
itching scalp, it nehooves him to do
something about it. If he doesn't,
he will lose his hair long before he
should and be very regretful when
his head is bald exposed to the
burning rays of the sun and chap
ping breezes.
The first step for any man to
take is this: Stop thinking that
nature will let you get away with
things. With smoking too much.
With showering without a bathing
cap every day of your life. With
dousing your scalp with high alco-
holic dressings and tonics. With
careless diets. Taking little or no
exercise. Getting shaved and clipped
with unsanitary barber tools. You
must take the very same precautions
with your scalp as woman does
and the sooner you realize it the
healthier will be your scalp and
the more luxuriant your hair!
Your scalp should be pampered-
and pampered inteiligently. Water
should not touch it more frequently
than every 10 days or two weeks.
Your tonics should be wisely chosen
Non alcoholic for dry scalps and
(belleve 1t or not) an oily tonic for
oily scalps. Oil will remove oil every
time-but unfortunately an oily
scalp almost demands professional
salon treatment to be corrected A
dry scalp can be corrected at home.
If your hair is falling you need
daily scalp massage even if you
must take the time to do it yourself.
You need exercise to send nourish-
ment through the blood to your
scalp. You need plenty of hair
nourishing food. Seek the advice
of leading scalp authority or write
me your problem. But if you get
advice follow it. Follow it faithfully
for two months at least. Give it a
chance. No scalp treatment can
work miracles in a week or 10 days.
Not one.
Your system is below par and
your scalp is ailing by the time
you are driven to seek advice. 1t
will take time to bring you back
to normal before the corrective
work can possibly begin. You must
have patience and be loyal to the
daily routine.
If you work where there are
chemicals, powders or dusts, protect
your scalp by wearing a lightweight
preferably cotton cap with one
or two ventilation holes in it. And
remember that If you breathe in
those chemicals, dust, or powders,
that will affect your scalp also.
Wear a mask-others will soon fol-
low suit. Better to hold onto your
hair and health and stand any
ignorant remarks about the sane
precautions you are taking.
Send for the leaflet which
bears upon your scalp problem
and be sure to inclOSe an en-
velope bearing your address and
