FiJi Hairdressing.

No one has visited Fiji in the past without being astonished at the fearful and wonderful styles of hairdressing. They are geometrical, monumental, pyramidal and trapezoidal. An additional factor in this production of the grotesque is that the hair varies in color as lime varies in bleaching power or as the juice of the mangrove in coloring matter. Between black and white the colors run through the blue black and all the shades of red and yellow. Often half the hair Is red and the other half white, giving a kind of piebald effect.
