however, II
too kinky permanent has been your
lot. You can do much to make it
possible to live with. In some in
stances It may even be a blessing
in disguise, because 1t makes you
buckle down and give your hair the
intensive care it should have all the
time.
Lots Of brushing, a stimulating
tonic, regular hot oil treatments or
cream packs will eventually turn
your hair into a cleaning halo, so
by the time the last remnants of the
old wave are cut off, your hair will
be in better condition than ever
before.
Go to the Best
Your first step. however, is TO
seek expert aid. Go TO the best hair
dresser you know. Do not go back
TO the operator who gave you the
poor wave. Anyone can make a mis-
take and may be anxious TO rectify
It, but you will not regain lost con-
fidenCe sufficiently TO be satisfied
with the corrective measures of one
whose error in judgment caused the
difficulty.
Let the hairdresser shape the
frizzled topknot. In any case he will
want TO cut of the harsh, dried
out ends. It may be necessary to
thin the hair slightly from under
meath to make it manageable, if the
hair is bushy and impossible to con-
troll at present.
You may hate TO sacrifice the
length Of your hair. but you must
be reconciled. as this is one Of the
penalties you pay for having a bar
gain permanent or experimenting
with new method or new operator.
Short for Duration
There IS some comfort in the fact
that properly shaped hair may be
arranged TO look fairly long, if you
will let it be fluffy and loose. You
may not be able TO wear the sleek,
shining rolls or pompadour that
YOU find becoming, but make up
your mind TO get what fun you can
out Of the shorter cut for the dura-
tiOn-of the permanent, we mean.
Find a new arrangement that fiat
ters your face and see that you have
1t set often enough to stay neat.
Immediately after the trim and
shaping. have either a leisurely hot
oil treatment or cream pack. This
can be done at home. but the first
treatment should be had at
beauty salon If possible. Do not be
afraid to brush the hair Even
though dried-out ends break of,
you're better without them. The
brushing stimulates the scalp and
CleanSeS and lubriCateS the hair
with its own natural oils.
Oil and more oil is needed during
the first few weeks. Dip a small
amount of cream waveset out of the
jar, transfer to the heel Of the hand
and take up little at time on
the briStles Of the hairbruSh. Brush
this well through the hair and rub
into the ends that always get more
heat during the waving process
and, hence, are more brittle and
dry than the rest Of the hair. Do
this at night and again in the
morning when you arrange and
groom your hair.
No Time for ShampOos
This is one time when you should
go easy on ShampooS. A hot oil
shampoo OF cream pack are needed
every two or three weeks until you
have had three treatments Be
tween times the hair can be kept
clean by brushing and by using
scalp freShener or tonic once or
twice a week. After the series Of
treatments, you can resume your
regular shampooS at weekly or ten
day intervals If you wish, but do see
that your shampoo is a bland one
and that the hair is rinSed care
fully.
One OF the complications follow
ing an overdone permanent is
bleaching or streaking Of the hair
The treatment suggested for soft
ening the tight wave and reCondi-
tioning the hair will make the
OF Coloring less notice
able. Do not be tempted 10 dye the
hair or use special rinSes Either
would be too harsh for the hair you
are trying TO make bright, springy
and manageable again Work faith
fully and be patient. After two
or so, your poor" perma-
nent may turn into the incest YOU
have ever had-although We heart
lily advise against repeating the
