one name given to the products
and we suppose that it's because
they're light and fluffy. At any rate,
the items seem like good ones to us.
and the ladies who've used them tell
us Of their many advantages Of
speed and efficiency.
Dry hair and scalp. the common
complaint at this season of the year,
is stronger than ever Local sa-
Ions are offering many remedies in
the form of reconditioning treat
ments, and if you're the wise lady
we think you are, you'll take advan-
tage Of them. Just remember, please,
that no matter what new and be-
coming hair style you choose, if your
hair is drab and dull the couture
won't show up to best advantage.
The method that many of the good
salons are talking about takes a lit
tie time, but it we'll worth it. Your
hair is shampooed and left wet, but
not dripping. Then special cream
is rubbed in, a few tablespoons of
water added and the mixture is
rubbed slightly, working up creamy
emulsion. Wax paper and special
cap are used and heat is applied for
30 minutes. According to the bevy
of beauticians, the process is Won

history of the shampoo with which

a month; in Borneo women who
offend their husbands are denied the
shampoo for long periods and a Ger

process into the wedding ceremony.

gourd of shampoo over the couples
mead, then bumps them together to
proclaim them man and wife.
All OF which insignificant chatter
leads up to the fact that this same
firm manufactures an outstanding
hair tint which contains shampoo
as one of its important factors.

way since the days when the result

OF altering the shade. These days
