~''!., People often discover too
Ipte that a visit to a hair
, dresser can prove disastrous
iihless they know what they
Itant.
* Depending on where they
40, both men and women will
,4nd that beauty salons today
cater to individual needs and
(Mires.
Young people prefer
natural,a simple haircuts that
are easy to manage, ac
(lording to Mary Ashford, hair
stylist at the Pietro of Italy
kikauty salon downtown.
"Whey want something that's
easy to take care of, that they
can take care of themselves,”
Ashford said.
And although the long,
straight look still is popular,
1 ore and more young women
ant their hair cut short and
rly, as long as they don't
live to set it, Ashford said.
-Janet Hall (11th
elementary education) wore
long hair when she came to
the University during the late
6s, but she keeps it short
now. Back then, Hall said,
split hairs when it
"the big thing was to have
long hair. I doubt if people
would come every two
months and get their hair
cut."
During the early 60's,
however, "we (hairdressers)
were concerned about hair as
much as we are today," Ash
ford said. Women spent long
hours teasing their hair.
"I just don't know if people
would go for anything that
elaborate and time
consuming anymore," she
said. She added that she
thinks natural styles are
more attractive anyway.
Ashford said the Arend
toward simpler hairstyles has
come about because women's
roles are changing so
dramatically. Women who
are pursuing careers or going
to school don't have time to
fuss over their hair, she said,
but they still want to look
good.
Ashford said she finds men
desire easy-to-manage,
"wash and wear" hair too,
especially if they're involved
in sports.
Ashford said she sometimes

Our
will recommend a style which
she feels will complement a
client's features. People with
a round or square face should
choose a style that adds
dimensions to their face, Ash
ford said, and if they have an
oval face they can wear their
hair long and straight.
Most important, people
cannot and should not cut
their own hair, according to
Ashford. "Nobody can do
irrepairable damage because
it always grows back," she
said, but they can't see all the
way around to cut it evenly.
In between visits to a
beauty salon, students should
try to keep their hair as clean
as possible by using an acid
balanced shampoo, Ashford
said.
"People have the
misconception that if they
condition their hair once,
that's it," Ashford said. If
they have dry or damaged
hair, they should apply a good
conditioner every time they
shampoo.
Commercial shampoos and
cream rinses are suitable,
Ashford said, but professional

formulas' that are available
from most beauty salons are
preferable.
Natural shampoos, like
those made from eggs or
milk, may do some good, but
rubbing an egg in isn't as
helpful as eating one, ac
cording to Ashford.
Those with oily hair should
avoid chocolates and greasy,
fried foods, according to
Gunilla Knudson's book,
"Beauty and Health the
Scandinavian Way," and
everyone should eat foods
which are high in iron, such
as chicken, fish and green
vegetables. Eating habits
that keep people slim also
help people maintain "fat,"
healthy hair, according to
Knudson.
Thorough brushing, despite
any claims to the contrary, is
beneficial to people no matter
what kind of hair they have,
Knudson said. People with
dry hair should brush often to
spread the oil from their scalp
to, the ends of their hair.
Brushing helps people with
oily hair by distributing the
oil evenly throughout their
comes to picking styles
hair, Knudson said.
Excessive teasing, use of
hair sprays and hair dryers,
or overexposure to the sun or
wind, however, can damage
the hair, Knudson said.
