New invisible hair net!
Helena Rubinstein's
HAIR SPRAY!
How wonderful to have every hair in place on the beach ?
instead of in your eyes. To be able to wear it any way you
want because it suddenly has body. To stay "set" through
wind, damp weather and a dui.k in the ocean. To wind up
the summer with a soft, silky head of hair instead of a hank
of seaweed !
Helena Rubinstein, who answers every hair problem with
marvelously effective products, has invented a brand new
Hair Spray that does all this for you . . . and more. It's fine. . .
non-sticky ... better than a hair net because it's invisible.
Keeps every wave and curl in apple-pie order . . . guards the
health and silkiness of your hair with a built-in conditioner.
Spray on damp hair for a perfect, longer-lasting setting.
Spray on when you comb -and you'll cut down the number
of times you have to set your hair between washings. Spray
on flyaway, "thin" hair and it becomes manageable. Hair
Spray costs 1.50 plus tax... lasts ages... we predict you'll
never be without it !
