HOW DO YOU DRESB YOUR HAIR? Just as with hats there are so many different ways of dressing the hair now that no girl should feel at a loss. The curly bang is a godsend to many a girl with a too-high forehead (writes Georgia Rivers, fashion expert of The Australian Journal), while the straight fringe and the smooth pageboy crop suit the girl with large eyes and the rather childlike expression. Hair flowing easily back to curls at the nape of the neck is a very popular fashion, while the more sophisticated girl can experiment with severe brilliantined waves, or uncommon arrangements of curls on the top of the head. Blue-black hair frequently looks most delightful if it follows the line of the head fairly smoothly, and the same often applies to red hair, but eight brown or golden tresses sometimes need a softer treatment. In dressing the hair the girl with the long head should avoid a too-long crop, as it will increase the lengthy look, just as the woman with the short, thick throat is often better suited with a knot of hair worn low on the nape than the brisker cut. As regards the care of the hair, there is one simple piece of advice which stands for all time: Brush it! Brush it night and morning and try to massage the scalp at least a few times a week with the tips of the fingers. Don’t just rub the fingers through the hair; hold them linnly against the scalp and move them slowly over the head. Brushing For Gloss. Brushing, if done regularly, will give that gloss to the hair which is so essential if one wants to look wellgroomed, and massage is an excellent thing for dandruff. Sometimes a good tonic may be used, but just the loosening of the scalp will work wonders. Those troubled with dandruff should also try hot oil treatments before washing. Rub warm olive oil into the scalp, wrap up the head and leave it like that for some hours. For brightening the hair and bringing out its natural colour several 1 simple remedies may be used. The blonde will probably prefer a lemon rinse, while the girl with brown hair can bring out any autumn tints it has by a harmless henna shampoo. The egg shampoo is very good for brightening the hair, and so is the camomile rinse. For the latter, buy some camomile flowers from your chemist, and over a tablcspoonful of these pour a pint of boiling water. When cool pour over the head as a final rinse.
