What does a man notice first
about a woman? Her hairl You
can't be really well-groomed or at
tractive unless your hair is attrac-
tive. You may have lovely figure,
you may even have beautiful face,
but If your hair doesn't look we'll
cared for and isn't becomingly ar
ranged, very few people will see
your curves or your clear-cut fea-
lures.
Always remember, the first and
most important rule for beautiful
locks is cleanliness. Hair should
be shampooed as often as it be-
comes dirty. There can be no set
rule for the interval between sham
poos because of the many different
conditions under which we live. A
girl living in a smoky city would
naturally have to shampoo her hair
more often than a girl living in the
country. AS a general practice,
ten day or twO-week interval is rec
commended for active persons with
normal hair. If your hair is oily,
wash it as often as once week.
Before you wet your hair loosen
with comb any dirt or dandruff
that might be present. Next brush
the hair vigorously in all directions.
Pull it forward from the back until
lit hangs over your face. Push the
lsides upward. Then smooth it back
in place and massage it briskly with
your fingers. If your scalp is dry
and fiaky give yourself an oil
treatment before you shampoo. Use
my vegetable oil-corn, cottonseed
or olive (you'll probably find some
In the kitchen). Warm it and apply
At to your scalp with massaging
motion. Plan ahead of time so you
The Omaha guide., 1942-08-29

can let the oil remain on your hair
for an hour, or even overnight. For
dry hair choose a shampoo that
cleanses gently. Be extremely fussy
about rinsing. Shampoo left in the
hair results In a dusty, ufeless
color.
If your hair is oily use fairly
strong soap shampoo or one Of the
soapless variety that cleans so well
and makes rinsing so simple. Scrub
around your hairline with brush,
and if you have dandruff, brush in
the shampoo all over your scalp.
Follow thorough rinsing with a
tinted, frightening rinse to bring
out flattering highlights. If your
hair becomes oily between sham
poos, there is a so-called dry"
shampoo on the market which is
very effective.
Whether your hair is oily or dry,
get into the habit of brushing 1t
each night. In the morning give 1t
just a few wide, generous strokes,
then brush it into place, arranging
as usual, and you will never go back
to the old habit of running a comb
through in a casual fashion. Every-
day brushing will give your locks
new sparkle and sheen. Try It.
You'll be repaid with more and
more admiring glances-more COM
pliments from your friends.
