Persuasion, Peroxide, Potions
And Cash Required for Dye Job
By GAY PAULEY
United Prtsi Correspondent
r.ew York (U.K) A new
me" is writing today"s column.
Finally I've become a blonde.
1
Pale-haired as
Marilyn Mon
roe. My deci
sion to join
the 20 million
women in the
n a t i ft n whn
Ss Pa bleach y or
f - ,'- j rinse took
t . f J . '"' j much urging
. i r 0 m friends,
' ' much debate
with with my psyche, much
peroxide and other potions at
Lilly Dache's pink and gold
beauty salon.
Also, much cash.
Whether it was worth it. 1
don't know yet. Do gentlemen
prefer blondes? I can report the
date rate is up. The whistles
keener. First day of the new
"do," the boss walked by my
desk, and barked. No proposals
yet, but I am comforted with
knowing that even Miss Monroe
was single quite a spell.
This decision actually had its
start several years ago when
the gold of my childhood began
to darken, fint into what they
called brownette, and then into
plain brown.
You think this is easy, decid
ing on a drastic change? The Na
tional Association of Hairdress
ers and Cosmetologists assured
me some 20 million women, or
60 per cent of our ovcr-14 fem
inine population do improve on
nature . . . that they "consider
1 hair coloring treatments just as
casually as any other cosmetic
treatment."
Sleepiest Nights
I have news for the associa
tion. I spent several sleepless
nights -before Miss Dache's ex
perts went to work. Would I
like being a synthetic blonde?
Would my hair be damaged?
Miss Dache assured me it
wouldn't. What would my moth
er think? Haven't been to my
native West Virginia for a visit
yet.
Our mothers and grandmoth
ers probably went through the
same emotional upheaval in de
ciding whether to bob.
Tfie technique in a drastic
change to blonde-ness is to re
move all the color nature gave
us . . . then tint back to the
desired shade.
Baby blonde, Miss Dache's
crew decreed for me. Had some
thing to do with light skin and
gray eyes.
It is during the period when
no hair color's left I figure
beauty shops should strap us in
our chairs. A girl looks like an
African Bushman, turned white
by a bad scare.
"Lose many customers at this
stage?" I asked Mrs. Rita Chazy,
who supervised the bleeching.
"No," she said, "by the time
we get them this far, we have
them for keeps."
Cosily Venture
But cost and time of upkeep
may make me turn dark again
soon. The complete change took
all afternoon and cost $50 I've
been scared to turn in an ex
pense account. Upkeep requires
less time, but costs about $20
per treatment. This, I'm told,
will be about every three weeks
. . . But those dark roots do
show up mighty fast.
The hairdressers association
said cost, however, varied with
both the shop and the city in
which it is, located.
One thing is certain. If a girl
wants notice, this is one way of
getting it. The double-takes have
been numerous. The comments
run about 75 per cent for the
change; 25 per cent against. I've
been compared flatteringly to
Kim Novak by youn,g movie fans
and Jean Harlow older movie
fans. My office cellmate male
took one lock and produced
new words to that familiar ad
vertising jingle for a certain
toothpaste.
You wonder where the yel-

HE ADDED SILK TO SUGAR AND SPICE Custome de
signer Edward ConRoy used a few pins and lots of imagi
nation when he visited Japan Trade Center in San Fran
cisco to drape models Francine Yerick and Dee Hardy
(right) with lengths of Japanese silk. ConRoy's wife is one
woman who can't say, "but dear, I don't have a thing to
wear."
