dyc women's hair blue, green and pink? Why do they dress it to look like a butterfly, or a Spanish comb, or a pagoda? No woman in her senses would ever want to look like a pagoda.
The hairdressers' answer is that it is a test of skill. At the recent international hairdressing competition in London, the first held since the war, some 70 hair- dressera from 10 countries vied with each other-for what?
There was a strawberry blonde, cornflower bluenette, orange- coloured sausage, curls a foot long. curls that were orange outside and blue inside, hair that was cyclamen, blue, silver and pink all at once.
