Hairdressers, please note: Teen
ayers will continue to set their own
hair STYLES in 1862. And they'll cut
if and bleach it too, thank you.
That's a prediction from hair
dresser, Michel KaZan, who oc-
casionally gets to put a pin curl IN
the crowning glory of the younger
set
The girls will wear their hair IN
casual style, not coiffed, use nome
permanent waves and streak their
hair when they feel like 1t. It's
enough to make a hairdresser bloW
his top.
I can understand that they want
to use home permanent waves, but
they should read directions, eX-
plains Michel. It's difficult to get
a point over to a teen-ager though;
they think they know everything.
The result of a home permanent
can be damaged hair when they
make up their own methods.
Why Long HairdOs!
Their method of cutting hair is
Ic
They snip and chop, running the
hair as they go. Hair should be cut
in a proper way to maintain the
beauty of the hair, otherwise the
natural body of the hair is lost.
Michel has asked few girls why
they wear long, stringy hairdos, a
voiding anything that loo
fashionable, but he doesn't dig the
answers he's been getting. One girl
replied TO his question:
L object to being fashionable be-
cause it is too difficult to look Well
When your hair is long, it gives
you security. You just shake your
hair to cover your face, if you want
to- You can flirt better with long
hair when it bangles around you.
But when you date a college boy,
you must look impressive. | look
at pictures of glamorous types un-
til | find a hair style | like. | set
it and hope it turns out that way.
They Avoid Effort
B eauty parlor visits require
strenuous effort on the part of
teen-agers, Michel says, so they a.
void it. He has a group of girls
who visit him about once month
for a hair cut and set. They let
him style their hair on the first
visit but after that they style their
own, he says.
One girl who has acquired eye
glasses told him she thought it
would be an inspiration to have a
new hair style as her old hairdo
made her head look squaShed when
she wears the glasses. She plans
to thin her bangs and put her hair
behind her ears.
How Fads Sweep Campus
Hair bleaching a la teen-ager is
described by Michel as some dabs
of cotton soaked in peroxide on the
hair and a session in the sum-
This bleaching method often re-
suits in yellow and orange streaks,
dry hair, broken and damaged hair.
He doesn't approve of teen-agers
bleaching or dyeing the hair
From Michels inquiries into the
hair habits of teen-agers, he learn
ed how hair fad sweeps
the campus.
There are always popular girls
in school," one 17-year-old girl told
him, and they are always dream
ing up new hairdos. We watch to
see how successful they are with
the hairdo If it clicks, We all get
it."
Oval Face Desirable
1t is fine for young girls to style
their own hair, says Michel, but
they should wear it in proportion
to their face and body contour, if
they'd get the most out of it
They should learn that the oval
face shape is the most desired and
that hair as we'll as makeup con-
tribute to the shape A thin face
may need width, round face may
require height or a certain length
to give the illusion of an oval face.
But any girl must brush, brush,
brush her hair to bring out the
luster, no matter what the hair
STYLE" he says.
