WHAT COMB SHOULD I USE?
Do not use an old dressing comb for your hair. If sonic of the teeth are missing it means that the sharp edges of (lie broken surface will corno into contact with the hair and. cause damage. The outside of Uio hair is composed of scales, having one end of each scalo free—arranged like the tiles 011 tho roof of a house. This is the protective layer and is very hard and horny. Beneath this is constituted softer matter. Therefore if the outside is damaged in any way, then breaking easily takes place. Chooso a tortoisoshell comb for preference, or, if this is too expensive, a good vulcanite comb, obtainable quite cheaply, is the next best. See that there is a sloping groove between tho interstices of the teeth of the comb, so that there is 110 scraping of tho hair with n sharp edge when being used.
