THE PROBLEM OF GROWING HAIR
It is a very real problem just now! i Since the majority of girls have de-! cided to follow the lead of certain society beauties, and allow their locks to grow, they feel the urgent need of something to camouflage, as it were, the untidy straggling ends that are inevitable in the early stages. Some girls have frankly adopted the transformation; others have fallen back on the famous “Lenglen band.”
But these, besides being unhealthy for the roots of growing hair, are quite impossible in the case of the girl who has continually to put on or remove a hat. Some other means muse therefore be found. Hairdressers obligingly come to the rescue, and produce tight little “permanent” curls all over the head. This process tides over the first couple of months or so, after which it is a good plan to have the hair curled in little “corkscrews” in the nape of the neck. Some of the coiffures seen recently at the theatre and in the ballroom prove how exceedingly becoming these corkscrews can look, especially [
on a youthful, well shaped head. Special narrow bandeaux are obtainable, both for daytime and evening wear. With the curled coiffure, they are quite successful, and they are helpful also to the girl who has naturally wavy hair, and does not wish to spoil it by artificial curling. During the day, perfectly plain bands must, of course, be worn, but in the evening some very pretty schemes
may be worked out. A softly swathed satin ribbon band Is simple to manipulate, and if it is slipped through a pearl buckle it becomes at once sufficiently decorative for any occasion. Then there is the dainty little diamante bandeau, which holds the front hair firmly in position, and, slipping behind the ears, permits the side pieces to form a piquant frame for the face. Holding the hair neatly down to the back of the head, it fastens at centre-back with a rather large oblong ornament, under which persistently straying ends may be securely tucked. D.D. !
