Thursday, February 7, 1980 Weekender Page 1 5 Hair needs special attention for warm -weather styles By BEVERLY SHEPARD Summer sun, wind and salt water can extensively damage the hair's cuticle layer. Shorter hairstyles, perms braids and pin-ups are popular during warm weather. Summer hair, however, needs special attention. Bill Simmons of Head Over Heels in Carr Mill Mall stresses that hair itself does not change over the summer, but hair conditions such as managability do. Summer sun and wind can dry out hair. Sweat band and caps can be useful protection, but worn too tightly, they can cut off circulation. Removing them frequently and running your fingers through the scalp will stimulate blood flow. Chlorine from swimming can strip hair of its protein. Wear a bathing cap, but most importantly, shampoo after every swim. The shampoo used should be Ph balanced, without a strong detergent base. The best shampoo products are found in haircutting establishments and are f ranchised. Some salons recommend that customers shampoo every day, others leave it up to individual preference as long as the hair does not look greasy. Some signs of dirty hair are curls that won't hold, an itching scalp, strands that break off when combing and permed hair that tightens at the roots. Blacks tend not to wash hair as often as whites. However, all hair needs to be washed at least every five days. Use a moisture or placenta based conditioner with protein. It is not how often one shampoos but with what one shampoos that is important. Even though summer hair is drier, hair has its own sebaceous glands that provide natural oils. Scalp massages (fingertips only) and regular brushings are essential. Grease and oils are not good for the hair because they clog pores and attract dirt. For an extremely dry scalp that needs additional oils, use a very light oil sparingly. Do not scratch dandruff with a hard-toothed comb. Vf u 0 :i :j u n A A Most people hear only part of the music that's in the records they buy. Usually this is because the cartridge-the most neglected part of the stereo system-is worn, of low quality, or not properly aligned. If this is the case, the cartridge cannot retrieve all the musical information from the groove; and will do irreparable harm to your valuable record collection.

Franklin St. ChcpcS Hill Mon, Thin Fri 10-0 f a o o r a r cIRd. 4 i W Many people prefer shorter hairstyles in summer because increased activity leaves less time to care for it. Delia McCray of the Hair Zoo in Carrboro says short hair calls for an overemphasis of makeup. Some salons specialize in natural haircutting, in which hair is cut in the different directions (usually two or three in which it grows). Gary Carden, formerly of Hair Unlimited Inc. on Franklin Street, says, "art and precision integrate in natural haircutting, and if you can see how a person's hair grows, then you can tell how to cut it." Whether it is short or long, hair ends should be trimmed every six to eight weeks or sooner, if split ends develop. Curlier, wavier styles also appear in summer. Curly perms or waves like the Jheri Curl, California Curl or the Free Curl are . not recommended by most hairstylists. Philip Hales of the Hair Zoo says, "You almost have to have a perfect or extraordinary head of hair to get a Jheri Curl." Relaxing perms can be lifesavers for coarser hair textures. The most important reminder about doing home perms is don't. If you want a perm, see a professional. Blacks should exercise precaution in relaxing hair too dramatically, leaving no curl for body. For hair coloring, choose a gentle based product and a color that is as natural as possible. Don't color immediately after a perm, which can weaken hair and cause baldness and dryness. . Henna is a natural conditioner that builds body and adds highlights because it coats the hair shaft." It can be applied over a perm but definitely not vice versa. If added at the same time as a perm, it produces an undesirable hair color. Wait at least one week after a perm before using henna and do not re-apply for three months. If you f ind your hair breaking off during the summer, it may be due to poor combing and grooming habits. Hair that is thick or coarse should be combed from underneath to avoid tearing. Also, rubber bands and cheap hair ornaments with jagged ends can snag hair. Braids and pin-ups are practical and attractive summer wear. Don't allow yourself to neglect your hair care because of them. Do not braid your hair tightly enough to cut off circulation and do not wear braids more than two days. Remember, your hair is counting on you this summer. Shampoo as frequently as needed, especially if you do a lot of swimming or outdoor activity. Wear head coverings but not too tightly or too long. Exercise precaution in wearing braids and pin-ups. For perms, see a professional to get the job done right. If you're not sure of a hairstylists's credibility, seek a free consultation first.
