Mr. Charles, R£.
QUESTION: Why do
some beauticians advise
using grease on perm
or pressed hair and
some don’t? I’m con
fused.
ANSWER: Dear Coo
fused, the methods for
hair care are to indivi
dual that there is not
and cannot be one an
swer for everyone.
Grease for some people
is not needed because '
they have extremely
oily scalps and hair.
Others have extremely
dry scalps with dry and
brittle hair. They need
1 all the oil and moisture
they can get. Most peo
ple are somewhere in
between these types.
The job of the trichoio
gist is to prescribe for
each person according
to their particular need
and problem. However,
grekse is not the only
source of oil.
