“HEM-LENGTH” HAIR
Auckland Girl’s Plaits
Mary Rose Loughman’s luxuriant dark brown hair has not been cut for eight years. Mary Rose, aged 17, who lives in Auckland and works in a baqk, normally wears her hair in two huge plaits doubled back. She solves the problem of what to do with it in bed by simply leaving it in plaits. She brushes it each morning for 10 or 15 minutes.
It was Mary Rose’s grandmother who suggested she should grow her hair long and although
it does require some attention, Mary Rose has resisted the temptation to have it cut "One day I may pluck up enough courage,” she says "It gets very heavy when I wash it and it takes nearly a day to dry.” When she was at college her hair was sometimes bothersome, especially when for a joke the girls stuck pencils in it, or fastened the ’ong plaits to her chair, Mary Rose recalled.
