PERMANENT WAVES?

EVERY THREE MONTHS

A now system of permanent waving, based on a method used by French wigmakers of the eighteenth century, is I having a groat vogue in Paris, according to M. Henri, a Melbourne- hairdresser, who recently returned from Europe (states an Australian paper). By the new method, known as "Coquiniquole," the hair is set in soft, loose waves from the ends to the roots by being wound flatly instead of on the corckserew principle previously used. "The new process takes only an hour," said M. Henri, "and as portions of tho hair can be rewaved -without the whole head having tb be redone, many Parisian women are having their hair waved every three months instead of once a year as previously. Antoine, the worldfamous Parisian hair-designer, is an enthusiast for the new system. Although some smart young Americans have been following the lead of film stars and wearing very long bobs, a shingle or semi-shingle has been universally adopted by smart women elsewhere. The shape of the head is clearly defined,' and frequently the hair is brushed off the -ears." LTairwaving is not the only beauty process which is "permanent." A method of make-up by which the colour is applied on the tatoo system beneath the skin and has lasting qualities, is being used by a Parisian aesthetic surgeon, M. Henri found.
