Have It Well In Advance
Not only brides, but most women feel that a permanent wave is an es- sential at this time of the year. You want the hair to look its best with the minimum of fussing, you want it to remain in wave instead of hanging limp and dank, and you want it to weather wind and water.`
After all if every women feels all this is essential, the bride doubtless feels that it is doubly important for her to have a good permanent. And it is.
SUCCESS. FACTORS Briefly, there are several things that contribute to the success of
a wave, First, the condition of your own hair. And that is why I cautioned a recent article a pre-con- ditioning campaign.
The method selected and the solution and heating time used should be governed, entirely by the type and texture of the head of hair to be waved. There are quite

Leave it to a good operator to re- commend the method best suited to your hair.
The operator, by the way, is the most important factor, not only because this, is highly technical work requiring specialised know- ledge, but because an... experienced permanent waving operator can "tell" hair textures, the heat re- quired by each individual, the solu- tion and go on. If you have seen a head of hair blocked and wrapped by a true expert you know how sleek and "clean" it looks, not a hair out of place. Still further, it's the ex- pert who takes test curls thus eliminating any possible error judgment. ·
ALLOW TO “SET”

It is well to have the wave some- time in advance and let the hair "get" for a few days without even combing it vigorously or shampo oing. Then the wave may last lon- ger and be firmer. For the bride, it is especially important to have the wave in advance so that it will not look "new" or too kinky under her veil, but soft and natural, de
