"RIDICULOUS."
Health Giving Effects Of
Bobbing.
GOOD FOE BUSINESS TOO
SYDNEY, June 2
ilr. O'Reilly, the secretary of the Hairdressers' Union, in a reply to the statements made by a representative of British brush-makers before the Tariff Board, that women's hair is now less healthy than it- used to be, says the assertions made are ridiculous.
It had been the experience of hairdressers that short hair had the opposite effect. Women wash and shampoo their hair mote frequently, and use a brush as they did before, but there is less wear and tear upon it_
A brush will now last four times as long. Formerly women would struggle and tear their hair for an hour and root out a handful, which would be put aside to make paddings. The result was dandruff, scalp wounds and headaches.
Nowadays, although there is 75 per cent less wear on the brush there is ~o per cent more benefit to the scalp.
