Hair-setting At Home
(By
NORMAN HARTNELL)
If you have wondered why your hair looks more professional when set at a salon, it could be because you lack the right tools. So why not “set up shop” at home? Buy a pure bristle brush, large enough to make firm, sweeping strokes. If you must have nylon, make sure the tufts have rounded ends. Buy a tail comb. It is impossible to section off strands of hair without one, and section off you must, for setting or back-combing. A good flexible tail comb, with no sharp edges, need not cost much. Hair-pins, spring clips, hairnet and hair dryer are also professional requisites. Now your set should look almost as good as a salon set. Provided you have salonfingers. As with a gardener, given a good garden, all the tools, the right soil and seeds, he still will not do a professional job unless he has “green fingers.”
