DRESS HAIR TO SUIT FACE

One of the Most Important Points to Remember In Arranging the Coiffure. I will not go so far as to say that “artistic hairdressers are born, not made,” Bays M. Calle, the well-known coiffeur, in the July Strand, but let me hasten to say at once, therefore, that the arrangement of the hair Is a study—not an accident, as it would seem to he regarded by those who have not studied the art of the coiffeur. For example, if a woman is endowed by nature with a long face—that Is to say, a face longer than that of the average woman —there is one golden rule that she must alwayß bear In mind when arranging her hair — namely, to do it as artistically full at the side as possible—always, of course, taking care not to overdo the fulness. Again, the woman with what I think may bqst be described as “a round face” will be wise to, keep the fulness of her hair at the side within bounds, and to dress her hair in front as high as she reasonably can, thereby adding that length to her face which she lacks. One more golden rule. The woman with a suggestion of an oval face should, as far as possible, endeavor to preserve that suggestion of “ovalness” by dressing her hair “ovally.” Many years’ experience has proved to me that, beyond all manner of doubt, a woman may make or mar herself by the manner in which she has her hair dressed. To the average French woman this remark will surely come more or less as a truism, for your modern French woman possesses more truly artistic instincts in this direction than the average English woman, who all too seldom studies the fbrmatlon of her face when giving directions for the dressing of her hair.
