			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Definately without a doubt it was a new image that was needed for my summer holiday. I was sick and tired of looking like the queen with the same hairstyle for as long as I could remember.</p>
<p>Well that was all about to change as I went on a rampage emptying every shop shelf of every glossy magazine that I could find. That evening all engagements were cancelled with Coroanation St, Emmerdale and Eastenders. Sacrafices had to made as I was on a mission to find the new me.</p>
<p>Settled down for the evening with every brochure and mag at my side, flicking through every page not leaving one unturned. Surely there had to be a style in one of them that was going to help me in my quest in finding the new image that I so badly craved.</p>
<p>A couple of hours of browsing had elapsed, and low and behold there jumping out at me as plain as day was the most wanting to die for hairstyle you ever did see. This was it with out a doubt. The style that I knew was going to give me a new lease of life.</p>
<p>After a visit to the shops armed with hair colouring lotions conditioners scissors etc. I raced up the stairs to the bathroom missing every other step. I was so excited. Why would I not be excited? tomorrow I was to be a different person. No animosty spared between the old image in the mirror as I said my goodbyes</p>
<p>Smelling like a peroxide skunk I carried on following the instructions on the box. No matter how sweet scented that sachet of conditioner </p>
<p> was it was not powerful enough to rid the odour that lingered all around. It was all going to be worthwhile I said to myself glancing down for about the hundredth time at the picture in the mag.  Forty minutes was up and it was now time to rinse dry and style.(Enter the blonde bombshell)</p>
<p>Staring down at the picture in the magazine and back to my reflection in the mirror, told me something was wrong. Two styles couldnt be any more different.</p>
<p>I followed the instructions as prompted, where could I have gone wrong? I screamed. I will tell you came a voice from the other side of the bathroom door. It was my husband who on hearing all the fuss decided to check out what was going on. I will tell you what is going on I yelled back at him.</p>
<p>Explaining how I felt about myself I handed him the magazine with the picture of this fabulous hairstyle on this beautiful model. He looked for a long while at the photo and then back at me. Repeating this motion many times.</p>
<p>Darling I do not want to upset you he replied, but the reason that you will never have that look is because you do not have that face.So why not make do with what God gave you. I have made do with what god gave you for 34 years and I still like what I see.</p>
<p>Kacy is my name and I am about to take another route in my life, of which I know will be a challenge but what the heck. Life is all about challlenges.<a target="_blank" href="http://benidormbeaches.com">http://benidormbeaches.com</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or a combination of AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHAs, have appeared as ingredients in skin care products at the drug store as well as expensive department stores.  While both AHAs and BHAs act as exfoliants, studies show that BHAs are effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture, without the occasional irritation associated with the use of AHAs.</p>
<p>AHA is found in; glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid + ammonium glycolate,alpha-hydroxyethanoic acid + ammonium alpha-hydroxyethanoate,alpha-hydroxyoctanoic acid, alpha-hydroxycaprylic acid, hydroxycaprylic acid,(what is with these scientific names the FDA uses!) mixed fruit acid, tri-alpha hydroxy fruit acids, triple fruit acid, sugar cane extract, alpha hydroxy and botanical complex L-alpha hydroxy acid.  The most commonly used and most effective AHAs are glycolic and lactic acids.</p>
<p>Glycolic and lactic acid easily penetrate the skins surface, and they have the most documented scientific research on their functionality and benefit for skin.  Glycolic and Lactic acids dissolve the “skins cement” that binds the dead skin cells to the surface of your skin.  The AHA exfoliation allows the newer cells underneath to come to the surface.  Eliminating the dead cells can unplug pores, allows normal oil flow through and out of the pores, allows skin moisture by enhancing moisture uptake and binds water to the skin.</p>
<p>AHAs and BHAs use a chemical process to </p>
<p> penetrate the skin, versus scrubs that scrape the exposed area of skin.  AHAs and BHAs only exfoliate, or remove the dead/damaged skin cells they leave the healthy skin cells alone.  Most skin care companies utilize up to 10% AHA .It is highly recommended to use sunscreen as AHA causes skin sensitivity and you may burn easier.  Wear a hat with a brim of at least 4 inches, long sleeve shirt, and sunscreen of SPF 15.</p>
<p>Remember:  Sun Protection used everyday is the Best Wrinkle Preventer.</p>

I thank my mom Rigmore Katel for all her support during my &#8220;college years&#8221; as an older student studying pre-med. Cyndi began this company after being fired from her job due to her disability and saw this as one door closing and another door opening.</p>
<p>She and her daughters created Five Star Nights, an organic natural anti-aging skincare line.  My eldest daughter Misha is a vegetarian and insisted all items be vegan, so they are.  Kristin is the computer expert.  She and I both race to the computer as she chats with all her friends, acts in plays and movies.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have an astigmatism it doesn’t mean that you are stuck with wearing glasses. These days there are special contact lenses, called “toric”, developed specially for people with astigmatism. And it gets even more exiting &#8211; you can also wear <b>color toric contacts</b>. Find out what color toric contact lenses are available and which would be best for you.</p>
<p>The difference between a regular contact lens and a toric lens is that torics have two powers, (one for astigmatism, the other for short-sightedness or long-sightedness). Also the lens is usually heavier at the bottom, to prevent it rotating in your eye.</p>
<p>The material used for toric color contacts is the same as for ordinary contacts &#8211; they can be soft or RGP (rigid gas permeable). RGP lenses usually don’t come in color varieties, though, because the lens is smaller than your iris (the colored part of your eye). So in talking about colored toric contact lenses, we will discuss only soft toric lenses.</p>
<p><b>What color toric contacts are available?</b></p>
<p>For now the only widely available brand name colored toric contacts are Freshlook Colorblends by Ciba Vision. Freshlook Colorblends are opaque color contacts, which means that they are equally suitable for people with light eyes or dark eyes. Freshlook Colorblends toric offers you green, blue, gray and honey colors. See pictures of people wearing color toric contacts by Freshlook.</p>
<p>Some custom-made </p>
<p> toric color contacts can also be made, at your request. Naturally, these would cost you a bit more. Most custom-made color contacts are traditional (annual replacement) lenses, while Freshlook Colorblends are monthly disposable lenses.</p>
<p><b>How expensive are toric colored lenses?</b>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, all toric contact lenses cost about twice as much as lenses for long or shortsightedness. The reason is that the lens is irregularly shaped and is more difficult to manufacture.</p>
<p>Comparable to plain (no color) toric contacts colored torics are 25-30% more expensive. However, if you order your toric colored contacts online you can save significantly.</p>
<p><b>Is there any potential danger in wearing color toric contacts?</b></p>
<p>Toric color lenses don’t present any more danger than any other contact lenses. You just shouldn’t neglect to care for them properly. Always remember to wash your hands before handling your lenses. Every time you put your lenses out for the night use fresh solution. Don’t wear your lenses for too long &#8211; 8-10 hours is the limit, and never sleep in them.</p>
<p>Since you need toric contact lenses anyway, try color toric contacts. You would be amazed how different your face will look with a different eye color.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tanning products, both sunless and sun, go to work on the epidermis, or the outside layer of your skin, and not the dermis or inner layer. However, the layer of epidermis that is affected by sunless versus the layer affected by sun tanning products differs.</p>
<p>Sun tanning lotions, sprays, gels or foams, go to work on the stratum basale or deepest layer and sunless tanning items go to work on the stratum corneum or outermost layer.</p>
<p>WHEN TO APPLY:</p>
<p>Since most self tanning lotions have no sunscreen for protection outdoors, the best time to use self tanners is at night before going to bed.</p>
<p>If done earlier, allow a minimum of two hours and test for staining before putting back on your regular clothes. If your lotion contains extra coloring formula or if you&#8217;re using a spray, staining could be a major issue and you won&#8217;t to go to bed and stain bedding; so use these types of products earlier in the evening or when you have more time to &#8220;dry&#8221; after applying (at least a few hours).</p>
<p>WHAT TO DO:</p>
<p>Gather your necessary items together. Choose what you want to wear if you want tanning lines, whether it&#8217;s a swimsuit, undergarments, etc. Use caution in your choices because the product may stain or run so choose old clothing, especially without nylon (permanently stains this fabric), and not loose clothing (to inhibit runny lotions). You will also need to be able to shower or wash beforehand.</p>
<p>Get a cotton washcloth or whatever you use to exfoliate your skin (sponge and other product, etc.), soap, any moisturizer you may want to use, your self tanning product, disposable clear gloves, a nail brush, a ball cap, hair pins or accessories to keep hair from your face, a sponge roller brush or paintbrush if you will apply product to your back, and access to a clock.</p>
<p>APPLYING:</p>
<p>If you are not going to use disposable gloves, you will need to wash your hands and scrub your nails often while applying the tanning product so that they don&#8217;t stain orange.</p>
<p>WHERE TO APPLY:</p>
<p>Begin with a shower or washing to remove </p>
<p> dead, flaky and dry skin.  Wash with your washcloth or exfoliation sponge, gently going in a circular motion.  Special areas of focus are your knees and lower legs, your ankles and feet, and your elbows. When finished, dry yourself, including your hair, thoroughly, and get hair up off neck. Let steam out of the room, if you&#8217;ll be continuing in there. (Remember: moisture like steam &#038; sweat can cause the self tanning product to run / wear off.)</p>
<p>MOISTURIZER STAGE:</p>
<p>Gently rub moisturizer into the special areas of focus mentioned above (knees, ankles, etc) to prepare for the self tanning solution. Some apply this to the face and neck areas, too.</p>
<p>SELFTANNER STAGE:</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to apply your tanning product.Beginners should practice on small areas first.</p>
<p>FIVE MINUTE LEGS:  Begin by applying the tanning product to your legs. Work with one leg at a time, applying in a circular motion from top to bottom. For feet and ankles, go ahead and apply a little thinner coating. Most prefer to cover the torso first, using the roller brush or paintbrush on the back, then continue with the arms.</p>
<p>FIVE MINUTE UPPER BODY:  Continue applying product upwards in circular motion. Most prefer to cover the torso first, using the roller brush or paintbrush on the back, then continue with the arms. If it’s taking awhile to cover all areas and you&#8217;re not using gloves, remember to check the clock and wash hands and nails thoroughly before continuing. (Treat elbows as you did knees).</p>
<p>FIVE MINUTE NECK-UP:   Time to finish up with the neck, face, ears, nose, cheeks. Go lightly is the motto for these areas.</p>
<p>DRYING STAGE:</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time for drying. Depending upon the tanning product and your genetics, you will want to wash and exfoliate the dry, flaky, dead skin cells and reapply product every few days or so.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The short hair cut is as popular as ever and more and more women are taking the plunge and sporting ultra-short locks. From the heavily textured and spiked to the soft and feminine, there is no doubt that the short hair cut is here to stay and has proven to be one of the most popular hair cut styles among women.</p>
<p>But how do you know if you should go short with your new hair cut or when you should take the plunge? For most, the answer to these questions is going to be a personal decision, but there are some guidelines that you can follow to help you decide whether or not a short hair cut is for you.</p>
<p>Choosing the right hair cut style should be a joint effort between you and your stylist. With her professional advice as to what will look sensational on you and your personal preference, together you should be able to find numerous new hair cuts that are perfect for your individual personality, tastes and features.</p>
<p>When to go for the short hair cut and when not to</p>
<p>You should choose a short hair cut if you prefer shorter styles or if you have been thinking about going short for a while. If you have already worn a short hair cut in the past and loved it, then you are one step ahead of the game. Likely, you will have a good idea of what short cuts will look good on you and which cuts will give you the most styling ease and freedom.</p>
<p>You should not choose a short hair cut just because it is trendy or you saw it on someone else and want to achieve the same effect. While some hair cut styles will look just as </p>
<p> great on you as they do on others, getting a short hair cut on a whim is never a good idea. If you see something you like, think about it for a while before deciding to get a new hair cut.  Even better &#8211; use one of the interactive online hair galleries, to test out the look before you buy</p>
<p>Never get a short hair cut for emotional reasons. Having a bad hair day? Do not cut your hair off in anger. If you do, you may end up fighting with dreaded tresses that are much too short for your particular style. Instead, go for a trim or a style that is just slightly shorter than the one you already have.</p>
<p>How to go short</p>
<p>If you have never had a short hair cut, you should go shorter gradually to reduce the level of shock experienced with getting a short hair cut and to see if you are going to like wearing shorter styles. Be prepared to experience some level of shock, though, even if you only shorten your style by a few inches.</p>
<p>Talk to your stylist and decide what type of short hair cut is your ultimate goal. Then, choose several hair cut styles that you can get over the course of a few months that will decrease your hair&#8217;s length gradually. That way when you finally take the plunge and get the short hair cut you will know that you will be comfortable with it. Nothing is worse than trying to grow out a short hair cut that you hate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many spas and salons offer a process called “body wrapping.”</p>
<p>This procedure claims to remove inches from the waist, thighs, hips or other parts of the body.</p>
<p>The process includes the use of special wraps or clothing and can sometimes be used with special lotions or creams that are applied to the skin.</p>
<p>Customers are usually told that they can lose “inches” as opposed to pounds and that fat will melt away bringing about a loss of inches in about an hour.  One of the claims is that wrapping will work because cellulite is “water logged fatty tissue.”</p>
<p>What overweight person wouldn’t love to find a product that will render them slim and trim while they sleep?</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many people think that body wrapping is a relatively new procedure and jump on the bandwagon quickly.  The truth is that the body wrapping craze has been around for some time.</p>
<p>What do these wraps consist of?</p>
<p>Some are plastic or rubber garments worn around the waist, some cover the waist, hips and thighs, and others cover nearly the entire body.</p>
<p>Some are to be worn while carrying out routine activities, others while exercising, and some while sleeping.</p>
<p>One is inflated with air from a vacuum cleaner. Another uses an electric hair dryer to blow in warm air. Some are used after a cream, gel or lotion is applied or after the wrap is soaked in a solution.</p>
<p>The garments and wraps, with or without lotions and creams, say that they reduce body dimensions by removing fluids.</p>
<p>Most medical experts agree that such treatment will cause a loss of inches and perhaps pounds due to profuse perspiration. But the reductions are temporary. The fluid is soon replaced by drinking or eating.</p>
<p>It is important to remember, rapid and excessive fluid loss is potentially dangerous because it can bring on severe dehydration and can upset the balance of important electrolytes in the body.</p>
<p>Reputable spas are aware of any potential hazards such as this, so do your homework and select a spa with a good reputation.Some people have tried using “plastic wrap” as body wrap material. In fact, that was a very popular practice several decades ago.</p>
<p>Body wrapping has evolved since those days, becoming much more sophisticated.  Prices for a body wrap range anywhere from $40 an hour up to as much as several thousand dollars at some of the upscale spas.</p>
<p>Some advertising claims that body wrapping will eliminate, or at the least reduce, cellulite but I&#8217;ll leave that up to you to determine.</p>
<p>What I can tell you is that visiting a spa or salon for body wrapping may be a wonderfully rejuvenating experience, leaving you rested, relaxed and refreshed.</p>
<p>And who wouldn’t like to have a few hours being pampered and fussed over in a relaxing environment if it will help the cellulite problem.</p>
<p>Some spas advertise herbal and other natural wraps.  In fact, the methods and products applied are widely varied.  Let’s explore some of the components </p>
<p> that make up a good “wrap” experience.</p>
<p>Herbal wraps.  Some of the higher end spas go so far as to grow their own “herbs” for use in their body wraps, but that isn’t necessary for a good body wrap experience.  Herbs can be fresh, or dried and usually organically grown is best.</p>
<p>Each herb has a specific effect. Some increase circulation; another may soothe the skin and so on.</p>
<p>The herbs are steeped in very hot water (almost boiling) then special muslin sheets are soaked in the solution.  It is these herb-infused sheets along with other insulating layers that wrap around the body.</p>
<p>How the treatments work is interesting.  The goal is to create a condition not unlike your body when you have a fever.  When we have a fever, our body eliminates toxins by sweating.</p>
<p>It’s the same principle with body wraps.  The results vary.  Some people report a very intense detoxification while for others it might be mild.</p>
<p>Methods of application and content vary as well.   Seaweed, mud and salt are popular body wraps.  Most often, the subject is wrapped from neck to toe with the arms set close to the sides of the body.  This can be uncomfortable for someone who suffers from claustrophobia.</p>
<p>The easiest correction for this is to keep the arms free from the wrap.  Most people who are claustrophobic find the works and that all they need to be able to feel free to remove themselves if they choose.</p>
<p>Whatever type of body wrap you select make certain that you feel comfortable with the spa and that a technician is always close at hand.  Care should be taken when selecting a salon or spa.</p>
<p>Some things to consider:</p>
<p>How long have they been offering body wraps?</p>
<p>Do they have a licensed clinician whose sole purpose is massage and/or body wraps?</p>
<p>Where do their herbs and other contents come from? Do they offer any special pricing for new clients?</p>
<p>Will they allow a tour of their facilities prior to purchase?</p>
<p>Have they had any unresolved complaints reported by the Better Business Bureau? Do they have any package pricing for multiple visits?</p>
<p>Watch your local publications for coupon offers.  This can be a good way to try out a service at a bargain.</p>
<p>Ask your friends if they have had a body wrapping experience and whether they enjoyed it and what kind of results did they experience.  You may even want to check for “two for one” specials and try it out with a friend!</p>
<p>Whether the experience reduces your cellulite or not, if you follow the guidelines you are in for a pleasant experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valerian, a perennial native plant to North America, Europe, and Asia, contains a root stock which harbors many active compounds that herbalists believe give this plant an amazing medicinal value. Valerian’s effects can be both positive and negative, however, so we’ll talk about both the health benefits of Valerian and possible side-effects of Valerian in this article.</p>
<p>First and foremost, Valerian’s root stock has been shown to help fight insomnia in several cases. Promoting sleep, many people use this supplement to help rest easier at night. Valerian is not an addictive substance, and doesn’t lead to the usually groggy &#8220;Sleep Hangover&#8221; that some people feel when they take sleep aids. For this reason, its use is widely accepted. Another of the health benefits of Valerian root would be its ability to put the user in a calm and relaxed state, helping to alleviate the effects of stress and anxiety. Valerian has also been used for </p>
<p> such tasks as alleviating headaches, relieving pain, improving menstrual flow and cramps, and also for helping irritable bowel syndrome.</p>
<p>The side effects of Valerian root are worth considering. Many experts tend to agree that a dose between 250 mg to 500mg per day is an adequate dose of this supplement. Possible side effects from taking overly high amounts of Valerian can include nausea, headaches, dizziness, grogginess, and palpitations of the heart. Very high dosages may also impair the liver and the central nervous system. Pregnant and nursing women should avoid Valerian since its effects on newborns have not been tested. Also, taking Valerian for stretches of longer than 2 weeks is not recommended.</p>
<p>Now that you know more about Valerian root, you can make a more informed decision about whether the health benefits of Valerian outweigh the possible risks of taking it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The days of bright blue eye shadow and slathered on blush are gone with the wind!  If you are in desperate need of a make up freshen up, consider these hot trends in cosmetics.  These latest colors, tips, and techniques are just what anyone needs to update a look or make the change into a new season.  Remember that your cosmetics do have an expiration date, so keep this in mind when shopping for new make up.  With each season, carefully look through your make up kit and discard any items that are outdated.  This is critical, especially with eye make up that can expire and potentially cause painful infections.  Also, remember not to share your make up with anyone else to prevent spread of germs and infection.</p>
<p>Today’s latest trends in cosmetics reflect the fashion trends—shimmer and shine!  From super glossy lip gloss to candy like eye make up with glitter to make your eyes truly pop.  This trend only applies to eyes, lips, and nails, however, since cream and matte finishes is hot for foundations, powders, and blush.  In addition to shimmer and shine, the color of eye and lip make up is quite subtle.  Gone are the vibrant colors and eye popping shades of eye shadow.  Instead, pale browns, ivories, grays, tans, and other natural colors are all the rage.  Lip shades are also a bit more subdued, with a </p>
<p> nude lip or a sheer pink gloss being incredibly hot.</p>
<p>Lipstick is out today, with lip gloss taking over the first place in purses all over the country.  These lip glosses are made in every color under the sun and many mimic the appearance of lipstick with a much smoother and glossier look.  For individuals looking to care for their lips and enjoy that terrific nude lip look, consider using a simple hydrating stick.  The all natural brand, Bert’s Bees, produces a phenomenal product that can be applied under a gloss or used by itself.</p>
<p>The days of pressed powder may be numbered; as today’s hot products include cream powders that go on thick but dries sheer and ultra light.  This option is great for individuals who would like a bit more coverage than pressed powder offers, but do not want to deal with the mess and hassle of using foundation.  Another popular trend along this line is the cream blush, which also goes on like a cream but dries a powder.  Also, cream blushes prevent that unnatural coloring that appears on many women’s cheeks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Health, strength and beauty of hair depends primarily on its nerve vigor and the good circulation of the oily scalp secretion which gives it gloss and luster. Beauty is not so much a matter of color where hair is concerned. If your hair has a fine glow, a rich sheen, is thick and long, it will be beautiful irrespective of its pigmentation. Hair often makes an otherwise plain person beautiful. And practically every woman, if she cares to make the effort, may have beautiful hair.</p>
<p>SOME  HAIR HINTS</p>
<p>If you have the least suspicion of a curl in your hair, brushing around rather than straight willbring it out. Do not worry if you shed your hair. It is natural for the hair to shed — and to keep right on growing in again. Only see to it that the ingrowth is equal to the loss by shedding.</p>
<p>No young girl should use a rat. Metal combs should be tabooed. Keep the hairbrush you use fordandruff stiff, the &#8220;polishing&#8221; brush may be softer. Use a hair net that matches your own hair color, and do not get too small a one. Remove snarls and tangles  in  the  hair  gently,   with  fingers,   before brushing. The three-weekly or monthly shampoo is a good rule. If you wash your hair too often, it will turn dry and brittle and change color.</p>
<p>The hair should never be worn &#8220;done up&#8221; constantly. This is injurious because every part of the hair should have frequent air and sun baths. For normal shampoo employ Castile, tar or vegetable soaps, and Green soap for oily hair. A good egg shampoo may be made of an egg, thoroughly beaten, one tablespoon alcohol, four ounces bay rum, a pinch of borax, and four ounces of Castilesoap mixed in a pint of hot water, to be used when cool.</p>
<p>Hair that is blonde or ruddy, as well as gray hair, may be washed with Castile soap jelly plusa quarter-teaspoonful of borax. Always comb and brush thoroughly, with finger-tip massage. Aftershampooing is the best time for scalp massage, hair pulling and skin loosening.</p>
<p>DRY SHAMPOO AND SCALP MASSAGE</p>
<p>The scalp and hair should be cleansed between shampoos. For this purpose the &#8220;dry shampoo&#8221; isnecessary. It is actually a form of scalp massage. Preparations of orris, corn meal and other dryshampoo powders are not recommended. They stick, and it is hard to get them out of the hair. A vigorous rubbing of the scalp after the hair has been parted, using a small piece of muslin over the tip of the finger, is best. Hot and cold applications are good, with or without shampoo, especially if the hair is falling.   Remember that the hair should not be &#8220;hot-air&#8221; dried. The hot-air cone used for the purpose in hairdressing establishments destroysthe hair. Human hair should always be dried by hand.</p>
<p>Scalp massage makes the hair grow and prevents many hair troubles. A five-minute finger-tip mas-sage, night and morning, is the one ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure. The electrical massage by a professional (after a shampoo), the violet ray, and the rubber-disk vibrator are all excellent for the hair.   They strengthen and stimulate.</p>
<p>HAIR TONICS</p>
<p>Massage is the first and best hair tonic. Though a good scalp lotion may stimulate circulation, massage always does so more directly. In general it will be wise to remember that tonics are meant for specific purposes of cure for hair disorders, rather than for common use. A little refined beef marrow rubbed gently into the hair roots is a good natural tonic (though an old-fashioned one) and together with plenty of fresh air and sunshine, does more for the hair than all the compounded tonics and &#8220;restorers&#8221; marketed. Every </p>
<p> woman can keep her hair in good condition if she chooses to. If she cannot give it attention in the morning she shoulcfdo so at night.</p>
<p>HAIR TROUBLES</p>
<p>Most hair troubles could be prevented in the start by ordinary good care of the hair, and themaintenance of the state of general good health. Of course, various diseases affect the hair: fever dries it out and makes it fall; syphilis and other sex diseases poison and destroy it. Some skin diseases have the same effect. In general, if you are healthy, broadly speaking, your hair will be healthy too.</p>
<p>Dandruff—What we have to deal with in dandruff is a horny layer cast off by the scalp. This layerthickens, closes the pores, diminishes the hair&#8217;s oil supply, and prevents the perspiration glands from getting rid of waste. Soon the hair loses tone and color, and is covered with whitish powder. Then it starts to itch and fall. In an advanced state of the disease, the hair falls out, and blood crusts form on the scalp as a result of scratching. Digestive disorders, toxic elements in the blood or local irritation may cause dandruff, and it is communicable.</p>
<p>Daily care of the scalp, massage and brushing, if persisted in when the disorder first appears, are very beneficial. The crude oil massage of the scalp, not the hair, is excellent and often effects a cure. A massage every night, using vaseline or olive oil, together with repeated shampoos, also helps to do away with dandruff.   Although pomades in general should be avoided, a pomade with a precipitated sulphur base, mixed with glycerine, rose-water, lanoline, and soap, or a sulphur ointment or cream kills the dandruff germ.</p>
<p>There is an &#8220;oily dandruff,&#8221; also, though the disease is most commonly a dry scalp one. Shampoowith tincture of Green soap should cure this type of the disease in about a week&#8217;s time. If you have dandruff, observe a regular diet, and stick as much as possible to milk and fresh fruit.</p>
<p>Falling Hair.—An acid condition of the blood encourages the hair to fall. Correct it and you willhave removed the cause of your complaint. The use of the violet ray and the vibrator, which holddown the tendency to an oily scalp, is also valuable for hair treatment in this connection. So, too, are hot and cold applications.</p>
<p>HAIR   DISEASES   WHICH   SHOULD   NOT   OCCUR</p>
<p>Favus, the development of yellow scalp crusts, accompanied by severe itching, bald spots and amusty odor, is a dirt disease, hence inexcusable in a woman, unless as a result of infection. To remove it the scalp must be soaked in olive oil for a few days, carbolic acid being mixed with it in a weak solution, the hair pulled out of the most infected areas, the crusts removed, and the whole scalp shampooed with an antiseptic soap.</p>
<p>Ringworm is usually a gift of those evil things, the &#8220;common property&#8221; comb and brush, or thepatent hair clipper. Rubbing with sulphur ointment,  washing with bichloride soap,  or paintingwith iodine, to precede the application of a cleansing ointment, is the treatment. It is dangerous since it may result in baldness.</p>
<p>Head lice (which may be cured by saturating the hair with kerosene or crude petroleum at night,wrapping in a towel to retain fumes, and following by antiseptic soap shampoo) is a most disgusting trouble, and unless communicated cannot occur except as a result of neglect and uncleanliness. The possibility of contagion constitutes the menace of allthree of these diseases.</p>
