MORE FEMININE COIFFURES.

One of London’s leading hairdressers, who has returned from a visit to Paris, is full of admiration for the way in which Parisiennes are dressing their hair (says an English exchange). The coiffure is kept very flat on the top, and at the sides of the head. In many cases it is worn behind the ears, soft curls two or three inches long falling on to the back of the neck, and one shading each cheek in front of the ear.

The rest of the coiffure is softly waved, not curled, and few women even wear a curl over the forehead. The general effect is charming and youthful.

Frenchwomen, though very favourably inclined toward long hair, are slow to abandon their shingles, though not quit so slow perhaps as Englishwomen.

This hair specialist declares that the majority of his clients suffer from too dry a scalp, and should have regular examinations, and, if necessary, treatment by an expert. The most important point in the case of the hair is perfect cleanliness of the roots.

When asked if the sun baths in which women have been indulging this summer have- added to the general dryness of the scalp, he said “No” quite emphatically. The old remedy is considered the best. This is oil, which, rubbed into the roots of the hair a few hours before a shampoo is given, counteracts dryness of the scalp, and also makes for greater cleanliness.
