Lustre To Fading Hair
AFTER thirty-five, the majority
of women experience fading nair and possibly graying hair, They may have neglected their scalps, or they may not. No scien- list has yet been able to tell us why some women's hair fades more quickly than others. There are mapy guesses on the subject but the fact. remains that there seems little we can do to prevent our hair from turning gray. But we can keep fading hair looking alive and lustrous. by pampering it daily with sensible care,
Dry stolps, which usually ac- company fading or graying hair, respond willingly to oil. Lots of oil Oil soaks the night before n shampoo, hot oil shampoos in a salon, and an oil pomarie rubbed on curled ends after a setting. Also use an oil liquid shampoo-- not a drying one. Between sham- pops it is a good idea to rub on the scalp sparingly, a little lubri- cating ointment or a special tonic mixed for your particular hair condition. At no time should your hair look-mily, nor should it look dry and faded.

Various Rinses
Blondes or redheads may use a camomile rinse to get a sunny lustre. This is done by steeping one cupful of camomile flowers (purchased at a reputable drug- store) in a quart of boiling water.

Whitening Yellowed Gray Hair
If your hair is light gray or near white, and if the ends are turning yellow, you may bleach it slightly by adding a little hair- rinsing bluing to the last clear water rinse.
