The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1942-04-04


more of an impression:
Take a chance on a cheap one.
Don't bother TO find out anything
about the reputation of the shop,
the operators or the system used.
You needn't know much about the
technicalitieS of waving to tell when
equipment is worn out, SaChetS have
been used previously, or the opera
tor is beginner. Say you're in
hurry and insist that your operator
give you a speeded-up shampoo and
skip the test curl. Let the operator
guess about the timing-50-50 he'll
be right.
Don't have your hair shaped or
thinned. say you want TO think 1t
over before deciding on spring
couture. If the hair Is thicker in
some spots than in others, the fin
ished curl may be uneven. Too
much bulk makes waves that won't
keep"
Don't Blame Operator
Demand a tight wave that will
last longer. But don't blame the
operator if your hair turns out
frizzy Tight winding or too much
heat dries out the hair, makes 1t
stiff and likely TO split.
Don't tell the operator what you
have been doing to your hair. An
expert can tell, Of course, whether
you've bleached or not, but the use
of other kinds Of rinSes, brighten
erS, tonicS or ointmentS is not APP
parent. but affect your hair so that
a special type of waving lotion or
less heat is required.
Let just anyone experiment with
your hair, even though you know 1t
is temperamental and hard even
for an expert to wave! Once you
have found an operator who can
give you maChine-made curlS that
will obey every Whim Of your comb,
that are soft and lustrous, don't
question him about how he does 1t
but stick to him for ever and ever,
even following him from shop to
shop If that is necessary.
Now for a good wave:
Put your hair into condition frSt,
with a session of extra brushing
and hot oil treatments. Use the
mildeSt shampooS do not let the
hair blow in the wind and sun with
out some protection. Sun is good,
but use brilliantine or a protective
cream and slip hairnet or snood
over the hair to keep the ends from
whipping in the wind. Eat the kind
of balanced diet that makes your
hair healthy.
Experience Counts
Select an expert hairdresser who
has a reputation for giving good
permanentS. In this complicated
business, experience and a thor
ough knowledge of hair count.
Give him an idea how you expect
to wear your hair and let him thin
and shape it so it is easy to manage
and molds your head prettily. Then
your couture will be simple to set
and to keep the way you like 1t.
Allow plenty Of time. Usually a
morning early in the week is best.
Then you know the shop will be
unCroWded and the operator can
give you undivided attention from
beginning to end. An expert opera
tor will see that you have thor
ough shampoo. even blocking, care
full winding, and, OF course, test
curlS, at least two or more of them.
Plan to go back to the shop for
reSetting for the next two or three
weeks to train your couture. Brush
your hair every day. Brushing viii
not harm the wave but will make 1T
lovelier because 1t stimulates the
natural oils OF the scalp, makes the
curls elastic and natural looking.
Dress your hair carefully several
times a day TO train each wave and
ringlet to stay where you want It.
With practice you can do the whole
job with a hairbrush, using a comb
merely to r m Owe preliminary
snarls and straighten the partings.
