FRINGE RETURNS

HAIRDRESSING PARTIES NEWEST COIFFURES London tradespeople have a happy knack of interesting their customers by giving parties, with cups of tea complete, when people are invited to see the latest, whether it be in dresses or shingles. A shingling exhibition given at a West End hairdresser’s recently showed the very latest cut and curl by demonstrating the process from beginning to end on a model. A straight-haired girl was chosen for the demonstration. Her hair was first trimmed fairly long, allowing an inch below the ears, all round, to allow for curling. Middle partings and fringes are the most up-to-date touches in the modern shingle. Sometimes the fringe is worn parted in the centre also, sometimes it is left straight, sometimes it is parted and trained into two curls turnng in to each other. Parted at the Back Partings even appear at the back in very smart shingles—but they are difficult to control in the rear, where training is made harder by the wearer’s inability to see the back of her own head without a system of mirrors. At a party the other night a girl featured a lop-sided roll, no doubt to match the hem of her dancing frock. Her long hair was wound into a coil, which instead of being fastened on the nape of the neck, was pinned over the left ear. Another lass had her fringe cut in a peak over the right eyebrow, to give the effect of hair brushed from the left side over the forehead. The ears were shown, and the hair was carefully cut round them.
