KEEPING THE HAIR YOUNG

Pretty shining hair makes such a difference to a woman’s appearance that it is a pity the average woman does not pay as much attention to the health of her hair as she should. Most women in the thirties seem to direct their entire efforts to prevent mg their hair turning grey or dyeing the grey hair when it comes. But they J don’t worry themselves sufficiently about, keeping the scalp in good condition, not realising that dull, lifelesslooking hair proclaims the advancing years even more than the few stray grey hairs would. Young hair is always pretty and shining, and s.- no women manage to keep that bright and shining look in thei. hair to well on in the seventies, even when the hair has gone altogether white or grey. There is nothing more detrimental to rhe appearance than hair which is dull nd dead-looking and has no gloss of any kind. Old looking hair, the hairdressers call it. At all costs a woman should keep her hair young. Careful massage with the finger-tips before dressing the hair in the morning will do a great deal towards promoting the circulator of blood to the scalp and so maintaining a healthy condition. Jt is bettor to do the massage in the morning than in the even ilig when one is tired after the exertions of the day. An Important Point. Some scalps fieed the massaging in of a good cleansing and hair-stre.igthen-ing tonic once or twice a week. One thing to remember is that the first application of any recommended by your hair specialist should be made when the scalp is thoroughly clean after a shampoo. Supplement the massag by brisk brushing. Women who wear their hair short arc too apt to neglect this careful brushing, which is a pity because it is necessary to keep the scalp in good condition. When Hair is Dry. Very dry hair is apt to lose its youthful look much more quickly tb .11 naturally greasy hair. It is, in fact, the proper supply of natural grease to th' hair which helps to keep it young and shiny looking, so that when hair is apt to be dry and brittle everything must be done to give it the grease it lacks. Several pre par a: ns are sold for the purpose, tho choice of which depends upon individual taste. It is a good plan with very dry hair to rub a little olive oil into the scalp before the shampoo as well as afterwards, and when brushing the hair always to put one or two drops of some good brilliantine on the brush.
