heads. Yes, blonde hair is a real beauty asset but it needs constant care and at- tention if it is to remain an asset and not become a liability. The moment this Attention is relaxed those beautiful blonde tresses will become drab and lifeless- and there is nothing worse than a drab blonde.
A weekly washing zoutine is absolutely essential if your hair is to be kept bright and shin- ing, but do not hesitate to shampoo more frequently if it is necessary. There are several excellent shampoos on the market specially designed for blondes, which will give that little bit of extra glamour to your hair. ""
Augment this frequent shampooing by applying a little sweet almond oil to the scaly before washing the hair. Warm the oil first and massage it very thoroughly into the scalp with the fingertips. Wrap your head in a warm towel and allow the ofl to penetrate for about half an hour, Rinsing the hair is the most important step.

For the final rinse either add a little lemon juice to the water or make a camomile rinse by pouring one pint of boiling water over two tablespoons of camomile flowers, Allow the flowers 10 soak until the water is cool then strain and pour over your hair.. This rinse not only brightens the hair but is also a good tonic. *
For special occasions treat yourself to an ash-grey or silver rinse, which will prevent that yellow look which so often spoll the appearance of blonde hair.

But this does not mean that you must leave your hair. entirely to nature, otherwise it may look more like a birdsnest. Let your hair- dresser shape and style it for you, and watch carefully as she sets it so that you may follow the patterns when shampooing and setting your hair at home.”
Finally, remember that your hair's best friend is the hairbrush. So don't stint on those 100 strokes a day, Brushing not only frees the hair from dust but also polishes It ind, stimulates the scalp thris encouraging the glands to release oll to feed the hair roots.
