A Hair,
" Dressing
Nearly every one likes a fine
hair dressing. Something to |
make the hair more manage-
able; to keep. it-from being
too rough, or from splitting
at the ends. Something, too,
that will feed the hair at the
same time, a regular hair-food.
Well-fed hair will be strong,and
will remain where it belongs —
on the head, not on the comb!
