Truths About Hair Coloring N my next few articles I shall answer letters which have come to me | from readers in distress, because many of these answers demand more space than my query column permits. I have given, from (ime to time, many formulas for simple hair staina _ and have usually advised readers that all hair coloring is 4 risky business and some of it really dangerous, Hair coloring only becomes dangerous when # chem- ical dye is used and formulas containing these have never been published in my column for this reason. known cases where the eyes puff up and the face and head swell or become covered with angry pimples, because of some poison chemical in purchased hair dye. Hair coloring is always risky bocause we can never % tell beforehand just what the ulthmate result will be, “Seats. especially when it is done at home or by amateurs. In- deed, even the experts are never really sure of their work and this is due to different conditions of the individual's health, hair, scalp, &c. First of all I want to make it plain that no hair coloring can be re moved by shampooing once it has been applied, and only another dye or stain immediately applied will have any noticeable effect. Of course, this may bring the hair to any one of a hundred shades, go it is better to let well enough alone, for nothing but time will bring back the original color. One reader writes me that she accidentally made her hafr a brilliant red color when she was merely trying to make @ few graying hairs a ‘bronze shade. Then she applied a dye to darken the vivid hue and this taade her hair “every color of the rainbow,” to use her own words. Another writes me that she has made her hair straw color with perox- ide of hydrogen and is ashamed to go on the street, and so it goes with all a hair coloring, either too light or too dark, and even with these simple and i harmless colorings—harmless as far as the health goes—the ultimate re- H su)ts are always uncertain, so in my opinion it is better to fet nature take y its course and be satisfied with your hair if it is thick, clean and healthy. mer f— He's COMING Over! \ YESTERDAY — PosE WE ws aun $ feet seven inches in height and forty- seven years of age. are iarge you could weigh five or more pounds, more or less, either way.
