USE OF POMADES

Categories: Beauty

Hair that is dry and brittle really requires some
oleaginous preparation, used in moderation. Yellow vaselin is good. Part

the hair and rub it into the scalp with the tips of the fingers. A

sufficient amount will find its way to the hair itself to relieve the

dryness. Cocoanut oil is also good. Never apply anything of this kind to

the hair itself, which is simply made greasy. The benefit should be to the

roots. The applicatio
of vaselin may be made a couple of days before the

monthly washing, or if the hair is very dry, may follow it. Remember not

to overdo the matter. It does not follow that because a little is good,

more is better.



A specialist on the hair who makes biennial trips abroad to advise himself

as to the most recent methods and treatment, in a moment of confidence

admitted to a customer that after all pure cold water was as good a hair

tonic as he knew of. "Do not wet the hair." he said. "Dip the tips of your

fingers in cold water and rub the scalp, wetting it and at the same time

massaging it. Do this as faithfully as you would apply a tonic, and in all

but certain exceptional cases it will be as beneficial.'
