Individual Styles in Hair Dressing

SOME women discover after experimenting that a certain definite style of hair dressing suits them better than any other. When this discovery has been made it is a mistake to adopt every new idea that comes along, at the expense of becomingness. * The lady with serene, broad, low brow and straight eyebrows may emphasise these gifts of nature by a coiffure like that portrayed in the lower one of the three pictures given here. It suits the character of her face exactly, and suggests a serene and beautiful personality.' Besides, it is a style that is good for a lifetime. If Fashion demands a high coiffure, she may vary the arrangement of the back hair, but preserve the front parting and uncovered brow, with small change in the general effect For the girt with a vivacious face, and narrow, high forehead, a good arrangement of the hair is shown in the figure at the right hand. A soft pompadour of loosely waved hair held in place by a support, if needed, in the

shape of a small hair roll, allows the hair to be brought down over the forehead at the sides. The back hair may be placed anywhere; in a coll at the crown of the head, as shown in the picture, at the nape of the neck, or on top of the head, without changing the becomingnees of the colffura. Nearly all youthful faces, of whatever type, find the coiffure parted at the side a becoming arrangement for the hair. It is shown in the left hand picture adorned with a hair ornament for evening wear. The style Is so plain that it needs the addition of an ornamental band, or two bands in the Greek fashion, at any time. Also, it is next to Impossible to keep the hair in position at the front without the aid of these bands or ornaments. No sup port can be worn under the hair in this style, and the natural hair is, like its owner, “prone to wander.*' Small supports of various shapes are really essential to successful hairdressing, except when nature has been exceptionally bountiful in the matter of a natural growth of hair.
