A Few Uncurled Coiffures

NOT all the coiffures that compel our admiration because their wearers look so well groomed are waved. Many women have the knack of arranging the hair prettily about the face, who have never made the acquaintance of the waving iron. Others curl only a small portion of the hair about the forehead and manage the rest without waving. A simple and very pretty coiffure, innocent of waves, is shown in the picture given here. In it the hair is combed to the top of the head, where it is coiled in a loose pointed knot and ornamented with large shell pins set with rhinestones. The hair about the face is dampened and drawn down at each side, forming two large waves, which are pinned to place with invisible wire pins. It is combed over the top of the ears and wire pins support it in two loose waves at each side of the face.

This style is adapted to a full and rather round face and is especially good for her who possesses a pretty forehead. Another pretty uncurled coiffure is arranged by means of a pompadour which extends entirely across the top of the head. When the front hair has been combed over the support required for the pompadour it is confined at the back with hairpins temporarily. A shallow part is made at the left side of the forehead and the hair combed toward the right, so that it sweeps across the brow. A curving shell comb is inserted to hold this hair in place. It extends from temple to temple. > The hair is fluffed over the ears and temples and held into position with Invisible wire pins. The back hair is arranged in a coil at the crown, or lower, according to its becomingness.
