Hot Oil Shampoo
Is Dandruff Cure
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

what should I do about thin
ming hair and dandruff?" a read
er writes.
I would first try to determine
that each is a superficial trouble.
If l could not prove that, I'd see
a doctor.
If wads Of hair coming out in
a comb is merely matter of
shedding or breakage, the trou-
bic will pass when the normal
process of shedding ceases and
you stop yanking and pulling.
If what you think is dandruff
is merely a taking of the scalp
or a scaling Of hair, it will yield
to hot oil shampoo applied
frequently.
When either of these troubles
persist, after giving them a fair
chance to clear up, march your
self to a medical specialist.
