FALSE HAIR IS HIGH FASHION IN FRANCE
Your China Mail Special
by Peggy Massin in Paris
PARIS hair styles for 1960 are like the proverbial
bride who wears "Something old and something new, something borrowed and something blie."
Trends incorporate chssic upswept styling adapted in new abstract ways. False hair and fake chignons have been borrowed to lend a long haired look to short locks.
The proverb is complete with blue and dark ash rinses replac- ing honey blonde shades as the most popular hair colouring..
Today's connotation af the word "wardrobe"... is no longer confined to dresses hanging in the
cupboard. "Hair ward- Tobes" are the newest idea, ranging from wigs to number- less small artificial pieces. Pony talls can be draped and coiled at will. Braided chignons, caged under cobweb sheer nets, come ready shaped by Paris bair dressers. Gay little fringed bangs or side wings, set on invisible hair-pins, permit end- less new effects and variations.

Slows down
Long hair is comparatively rare in this epoch. Over the years, bleaching and permanent waves have weakened women's crowning glory, and it is rare to see the lustrous waistlength hair which was the order of the day until bobbed and shingled styles took over in the 1920's. Medical experts also agree that the growth of hair slows down considerably when a woman is over 30 years of age.
Because Paris whimsically dictates a long haired ok false pieces are at present as commonplace as lipstick and other cosmetics. Casually groomed and curly hair is out today, in favour of sleek, up: swept styles.

Medusa
Sharply stylised hair styles were designed by the Carlta sisters for mannequins at Pierre Cardin. Hair is strained up to a point at the crown and then released in elaborate leaf and bow knot effects or snaky tend- rils recalling the famous statue of Medusa.
The latest innovation of these talented sisters is a false bang

coloured bangs snapped in and out of various scarves. The system is planned to camouflage hair which is temporarily set on rollers or in pin curls, or to protect a finished chef d'oeuvre as Madame
