Portland Observer, June 23,196 2 Section II Page 5 FASHIONS Y N O W many o f your friends B have got the curly look and you’ve seen that increasingly popular hairstyle in all o f its aspects — from sassy to sophisticated, subdued to sensational. You know that it can be worn long, dripping with sensuous tendrils; it can be lush and full, bouncing with movement and swing; or it can be short and pixie with geometric shaping or in a curly gamin cap. You know the curls are very popular with men as well. The male look is shiny, textured and cut to fit the shape of the face. You like the soft and free casy- care aspects o f the style, but perhaps you're just not sure whether curls will suit you and the way you live. Before you have your hair permanently curled, it must be natural (what beauticians call “ virgin h air") and in good condition. You can't get a curl if you’ve had a sodium hydroxide relaxer in your hair within the last six months. The curl will “ take" on the new growth, but the relaxed hair will stay straight and may break o ff. I f you hot-comb your hair and it has been burned or damaged, it would be best to wait until those sections have grown out before having your curl. The same goes for bleached or colored hair. While new techniques are being developed to color hair after a permanent curl is in, it's still very tricky business. Your beautician should examine sections o f your hair to determine strength, elasticity and moisture V in ta g ^ A p p arel Girls and Boys content. I f any part is weaker than the rest (this can happen if you sleep on one side more often), a protein conditioner should be applied to the hair and left a few minutes longer on the weaker section. The basis o f any attractive hair style is a good cut. The type o f cut t must depend on your facial bone structure, the style o f clothing you favor and what length compliments your body type. You should consider the shape o f your head and the length o f your neck before deciding on the cut. After the cut, you're ready for the curling process. It can take anywhere from 116 hours to 3 hours depending upon your beautician’s style. I f you are curling your hair yourself with your "a t home” curl kit, remember the product must be used in strict compliance with all directions and warnings to avoid skin and scalp irritation. Once your curls are in, keep in mind that the style depends heavily on proper moisture balance, so there are some care cautions: •Y o u must condition your hair well after shampooing. Since it has been chemically processed, the Intensive Conditioner should be applied to replace moisture. •Y o u must use a curl activator on your style every day to help you maintain the moisture. The activator can come in three forms— an instant curl moisturizing spray, a gel activator or a creme activator. •Y o u should apply an oil sheen spray to add shine and moisture to the curls, when needed.
