HAIR CARE

      The woman of today has a problem in keeping her hair shinning and healthy... a problem with which her great-grandmother was not faced.
       In the days before permanent waves, hot air drivers, unit heating and smog, a woman brushed her hair
religiously and dried it in the sun.
       She lived leisurely, didn't or smoke and her healthy condition was reflected in her hair.
       Scalp is skin and is fed by the blood stream.
       It differs from the rest of the skin on the body by its thickness and by the depth and size of hairs which grow from it.
       In treating hair it is wise to remember to remember that the place which needs attention is the skin or scalp or from which hair grows.
      There is no circulation in the hair itself and, in order to change the quality of your hair, treatment must be given to the root.

      If you have been in bad health, the quality of your blood will be down and your hair will reflect the poor condition of your body in general.
      Special treatment to bring hair to normal may be necessary for some, while the hair of other may pick up when health returns.
      But for the normal person, the everyday treatment to preserve healthy hair and scalp lies in cleanliness-in keeping the hair and scalp as clean as possible.
