Modern Hair Styles

Be “Individual”

Famous Hollywood Hair Stylist

Section off front hair in three parts. Take the top part and make it into a series of pin curls. Bring the sides up and set with bobby pins high up next to the crown and then make ends into pin curls. The back hair is rolled in the reverse of a page boy, a series of pin curls made in the shape of a horse shoe over the top from ear to ear. When dry, take the top section and divide m half and make a figure eight, lay on top and tie with a ribbon bow. The two sides have side combs and pin curls fall over the combs. The back makes a round roll in the shape of a horseshoe.

When Dorothy had her hair dressed high in this fashion, some one came in and saw her and said: “Why, I didn’t know you were grown up, I thought

you were just a little girl!” She was thrilled and hated to take her hair down. So it’s easy to see that younger girls will embrace the new upswept coiffures with delight. To them, added years mean new excitement. Betty Furness, also a very youthful

player, though not so young as Dorothy, fought to have her hair up in her new picture. The producer objected because he thought an upped coiffure unsuitable for her role, but Betty insisted she would feel out of date in a long bob. She likes the added dignity of high hair, she says. Hair styles must be effective on you or you make a mistake in adopting them. If you don’t feel easy in one, discard it and try another, or you’ll not be at your best and your personality will suffer. A good profile helps a high hair-do. Many women will wear it because “they” are doing so, but not discriminating woman will add to her disadvantages by adopting an unbecoming mode.
