"Years of unheajthful customs of caring for the hair have completely changed the character of human hair. Karly morning dampness followed by the heat of the sun's rays set up a chemical reaction in hair, just as they do in the leav#s of trees and small twigs. Notice the leaves twigs in the early morning, all /urled up>. As they dry out they get straight. So it is with hair. Hair is elastic. Nor mal liair will stretch more tfran per cent before it will break. Hair after the permanent-wave -process is nearly restored to its natural condi tions and responds thereafter to the \atural heat of the body and natural'- moisture of the atmosphere. On an extremely dry day a damp hrfesh will increase the- curl instead of taking it out. These things all go to prove that na.turf wil assist the permanent wave."
