SCENTED HAIRPINS.
London, March 2. Scented hairpins are the latest novelties exhibited in West End hairdressers’ windows.
The knob at the top of the hairpin is fitted with a spring which at the slightest touch releases a miniature spray of perfume. | “The idea is always to ensure absolutely fresh perfume,’’ the hiardresser explained to an Express representative yesterday. We have found that however fine a scent may he it is apt to become stale after being exposed to the air for a couple"of hours.; Even scent sachets fail in this respect, and nothing isjmore aggressive than the odour of stale perfume. It is quite easy for a woman to’pat her hair, or replace "a hairpin, and this is all that is necessary to release the perfume. Hairpins are made in gbld for blondes, tortoiseshell for brown hair, dark amber for auburn-haired women, and silver for grey locks.”
