Other culours coming up on the horizan Include a deep ion that looks wonderful with tweeds in the country, coral pink, and Pompelan red, a near terra-cotia shade.

thoro going bald that will soon
be as many bald women as men unless some-
one discovers a really effec- tive preserver.
This warning is given by Dr Irwin Lubowe, a New York skin specialist, in a scientific guide to healthy hair pubilsh-
ed in the US.
Dr Lubowe's records
und re-
Kearches have convinced him that baldness is a disease of elvilisation from which more and more women are begin-" ning to suffer.
ONE IN THREE
"Within a decade nearly one- third of women will be the un- willing victims of demonstrable hair loss or substantial bald- ness," he writes, "Already from 15 to 20 per cent of all fe- maleg past adolescence-and many still in their teens-are affected by partial hair less."
Dr Lubawe partly blames hard
nylon hairbrushes and the hab- it of wearing over-tight pony- tails which drag the hair from its roots, causing "traction alopecia."
But there must also be some general trend at work, possibly Asunciated with diet or ner- vous tension.
Dr Lubowe adds: "The incrcus- ing problem of balding women will undoubtedly serve as on urgent spur to accelerate re- search. Women will never pa- endure baldness as tiently sume men do."
