Nothing makes more dif- > f erence to a woman's appearance thani • the conditions of the hair; it greatly' > enhances the charm of the pretty I 1 woman, if it is glossy and wetl-groomsd, ' and beautiful hair atones for plainness in the less fortunate. ! A great deal depends, on. the shampot • used. The hair, to look its best, must bs ! frequently cleansed. Many shampoos, • which do -aot lather well, only partially - eleanso the hair; consequently it never , •■ appears as bright and glossy as it' ' should. Many society women and' i actresses who know the value of beauty and the importance of preserving it, are i now forsaking hairdressing establish- j - ments, and having their hair washed at' 1 home by their maids. For this purpose ; (. shampoo is made with stallax granules. I and hot water. This substance produces 1 a sweet scented foaming lather which i thoroughly cleanses the hair. After > rinsing the hair is quickly dried with > hot towels, and the results are most satisfactory. 1 All the hidden sheen of the hair b brought out, and it a beautifully soft, : wavy, and easy to do up. i All shampoos have a tendency to dry > the hair. In cases where the scalp it l naturally very oily, the use of stallax r acts as an excellent corrective, for i those whose hair is inclined to be dry - ' and brittle, massaging the scalp with i olive cil before each shampoo is recom- > mended. , ; Brushes should be kept thoroughly > ' clean. A little ammonia in the water used for washing them ensures this. They should be finally rinsed fn cold ' water, so as to stiffen the bristles—(Ad.) ! ■
