If your hair is causing you a lot
Of annoyance these days because
the summer has robbed 1t of elas-
ITCHY and sheen, don't rush to the
hairdressers for a permanent wave.
That will not answer your prob
lem. The good hairdresser would
only advise you to take several
thorough reconditioning treatments
depending upon the type of hair
you have and your scalp condition.
before she would dare to put a
waving machine on your neglected
tresses.
The first thing you must do is
to determine whether your scalp
is tight Try moving it around
with your finger tips. If it will
not bulge resolve to get few cat
least three) scalp messages before
a reconditioning oil treatment once
week.
If your scalp is loose and can
wiggle about over your skull quite
freely the main trouble is in the
hair shafts. Weekly shampoos, an
oil treatment on the hair rather
than the scalp once every 10 days
is your program for the month.
And daily brushing with a
good brush for at least 10 min
utes!
The oily head has a different
problem. She requires astringent
tonics and shampoo not more
frequently than every 10 days for
a month if she can stand the con-
dition of her hair for a Today
stretch. She too needs exercise
daily brushing exercise and out-of-
door activity. Her secretions are not
normal and she had better tone up
her body or she will have hair trou-
BILE for the next two seasons!
The head that looks and feels
like straw needs very special care
Danish the yen for a permanent
wave for at least two months.
Your scalp, your hair, your body
needs concentrated pick
Hair nourishing foods, much more
rest than you have been getting,
plenty of water, daily brushings and
specific weekly care Of your scalp.
For the time being shampoo with
eggs-forget your other prepared
shampoos. Dry your hair with
your hands and when it is almost
dry get out in the sun and brush
1t away from the scalp with your
head hanging DOWN until it is dry.
Then massage your scalp we'll with
your finger tips until it tingles.
You may now set it any way you
wish, but do not 60 and sit under
dryer.
Any hairdresser you know will
object to this. They will tell you
that they can give you treatments
in the salon. Your answer is this:
One Of the leading scalp specialists
(perhaps the ace scalp specialist
in this country told me of this
treatment for hair that has grown
dry and brittle. And this scalp
specialist has salons of her own!
So I think we may surmise she is
giving the best of her advice if you
will follow it.
After two months of the entire
health program you should have
your hair shaped, any old perma-
nent cut off and a nice fresh soft
curl put in. You should, however,
select your waving machine with
much thought. The mildest of To-
tions is for your type of hair.
