Prelude To a Perm.

After deciding it is time to make an appointment for a “Perm,” it is advisable to give the hair special treatment before the actual date of the operation. If the hair is dry, massage it well with warm olive oil, being sure that the scalp is massaged and not the hair merely rubbed, which tends to injure rather than to improve it.

There are numerous hair lotions, too, which are very beneficial, but care must be taken to use the one most suitable for your own particular scalp. The main thing is, to have the hair in good condition in order to get the best result.

Probably all women with straight hair have a hankering for curls, but if you look a fuzzy poodle with your hair curled, wear it straight. Treat it well, and it will repay you one hundredfold. Massage a good tonic into the scalp and brush the hair until it has the glad-to-be-alive look.
