Hot Cream Treatment
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

After being smothered all win
ter by hats, hair usually betrays
its spring doldrums by the way it
looks and acts.
"One of the best tonicS for what
ails it," says Eleanor Niles, whose
hair-do's are soignee enough 10
rate magazine covers, ''is a cream
treatment, such as ritZy salons use,
Which a girl can use at home to
wash luster an6' liveliness back into
her hair"
Eleanor'S procedure? She arms
herself with jar of cream, feath-
cry enough to use on your face, rubs
dabs of this between scalp part
ingS and on down to the ends of
hair, piles her cream -smeared locks
on her head, and wraps it in a hot
towel, burnoosc fashion. She keeps
seconc' towel handy to renew the
first, and when the cream begins
to drip, she goes to the basin and
washes it off in clear water.
Even before your hair is dry"
says Eleanor, you can feel that
it's going to look like something
