HAIR HEALTH

Brilliantine applied directly to the hair is able to sink too deeply and cling in sticky patches. It is best to smear the palms generously with the oil and then rub a light hair-net ́between the hands. “On slipping the net over the head, it will be found that the gloss- without the grease—is transferred to the hair in an even manner.

Dandruff and dry, dull hair are commonly associated with tight- ness of the scalp. By manipulating the scalp energetically with your fingers for a few minutes every night-making sure you are mov- ing the scalp itself and not merely moving your Angers on the surface |—this tightness will be relieved

· Following the massage, use, a hair tonic such as bay rum for a time in place of a setting lotion prepared on a gum or spirit basis, and the dandruff will gradually disappear. Before shampooing the hair, rub, in warm olive oil, and then finish by rinsing with fresh Jemon juice.
