Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 38, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 March 1906 — Iron May Injure Gray Hair. [ARTICLE]

Iron May Injure Gray Hair.

The hair dresser handled his iron, a slim little wand, lightly and delicately, and very charming was the “Marcel wave”- -that he imparted -to. the young woman’s brown hair. Every two or he heated the iron in an electric lamp, and he would test its temperature afterward, holding it close to his lips. "So long as I don’t burn your hair,” he said, “it is not necessary, madam, to be particular about the iron’s heitt. But when I wave gray hair, then I must-be very particular. Half a degree too much, and I turn the hair yellow. “Gray-haired women should be very careful aboqt the men they allow to wave their hair. They should patronize experts only. Otherwise the too hot iron changes the beautiful silver gray color of their locks to a dirty yellow.” —New York Tress.
