The importance of her hair to a woman's looks cannot be overestimated. Siner prehistoric times women have bestowed most anxious cure upon the arrangement of their tresses, within view to becomingness-in other words, for the suitable dressing of their features. The arrangement that best sets of the features of one woman is not necessarily becoming to another.. Hence, in the past, each woman, while accepting the prevailing style of culture, has modified it to suit her own face.

Light hair, considered as a fibre, is very different from dark hair. It is much finer, and there is more of it to the square inch of scalp. In Germany, before the war, scientists who made a atuds of the subject decided that the average brunette had forty-six miles of hair, while the average blonde had ninety miles.

Charles the Great, Carolus 'Magnus, or an he is popularly known, Charlemagne, had time to be not only the wisest and best king, the most progressive and for-secing ruler, one of the great, world-conquerors but also one of the most famous of all lovers.
