For hair that needs body, definite curl, or a hint of curl – the answer lies in perming.

Bleaching and perming should never go together.

Make sure that none of the old perm remains before applying a new one.

If your skin is sensitive, rub cold cream into the skin round the hair – line before you start perming.

Read instructions carefully and always do a skin test.

ON CHOOSING A WIG

Some reasons or situations under which you might want to buy a wig.

The Right Way to Wear a Wig

Short hair can be easily tucked in under a wig. Long hair has to be sectioned and pinned into wide flapping curls.

Slip on your wig in the same way as you slip on a swimming cap- start at the forehead and then pull it down on your head.

Avoid keeping your wig on for too long – not more than five o six hours at a stretch. Even light – weight wigs can cause more than usual perspiration. Perspiration is bad for the hair and scalp. Your own hair must be aired frequently.

How to keep it

Remember always to brush it with a good brush and to keep clean.

While not in use, keep it in its original box or on a wig stand. Avoid keeping it in a drawer – more often than not, it can get squashed in there.

Wash it at least once a month, according to the instructions which accompany the original packing. After shampooing, hang it up to dry. Do not brush it while it is still wet. This takes out the curls. When it is dry, shake it to fluff it up. If required, set in rollers while damp.
