Times-Advocate, 1979-03-21, Page 41Today’s active woman must learn to take care of hair UNISEX HAIR DESIGNING 423 Main St., Exeter 235-1150 “SOFT AND SOPHISTICATED’’ is the fashion look for spring hairstyles, according to the members of the Helene Curtis Hairstylists Advisory Board. For instance, Brenda Longhofer of Louisville perms a short style to add control and curve to chic and elegant waves. But hair health is just as important as hair style this season, and professional hairstylists are recom- mendipg a complete program of personalized haircare such as the Moisture Quotient system from Helene Curtis to keep hair looking its best. No matter what the style or length, Helene Curtis Hairstyl­ ist Advisory Board members agree that the fashionable head requires good at-home care. Brenda Longhofer of Louis­ ville explains that “busy women don’t go to salons as often these days, so they have to be able to handle and care for their hair between salon visits. ’ ’ Michael Marks adds, “Peo­ ple need to be responsible for way their hair looks. What- ^^Rtr the hairstyle trend, people need hair that’s healthy-looking .and suited to where and how they live.” For healthy hair that shows off a new spring hairstyle, start with a good professional cut. And, be sure to have a trim at least every two months. . . this season, neatness counts! Be aware of how lifestyle affects hair. The high heat of styling tools can continually rob hair of its essential moisture. Exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, to wind, hard water and chlorination, all can take away moisture, leaving hair dull, dry and lifeless. These moisture-robbers call for a gentle shampoo and condi­ tioning treatment. The Helene Curtis hairstylists recommend shampooing as often as neces­ sary to keep hair clean, and using a conditioner regularly to add shine and manageability to hair. Chemical treatments, such as the perms and hair coloring so popular for spring, require spe­ cial attention at home: condition often, brush gently, use a low heat setting on blow dryers or curling irons, or let hair dry nat­ urally to avoid damaging it. One way to assure good at- home hair care is to ask your, hairstylist about Helene Curtis’ new Moisture Quotient system, which starts with an in-salon hair analysis and continues at home with MQ shampoos, con­ ditioners and other products. Moisture Quotient products are designed to work together to The weak-chinned character didn’t believe it: “You say you’ve driven a car for 16 years and never had a back seat driver?” “Right,” faced man. hearse.” said the sad- “I drive a i A I Jet & ®' I?• wl prevent dryness, breakage and dullness by restoring and main­ taining hair’s proper moisture level. A manageable, well- groomed appearance this spring starts at the top with a new “clean-cut” hairstyle and at- home hair care for shiny, man­ ageable, healthy-looking hair. T-A Fashion Edition, March 21, 1979 Page 15 Now get a'natural’ look The “natural" look is on top of the fashion list for spring 1979, but with a difference. Those silky, lustrous blouses and linen-textured suits will be made from fabrics of man-made fibers like polyester, nylon and rayon, according to the fashion experts at the Fiber Information Center (a service of the Man­ made Fiber Producers Associa­ tion). Top American fashion A1 sS 'J designers like Halston, Karper, and Geoffrey Beene use versa­ tile man-made fibers to achieve the look of luxury, once thought of as the exclusive property of silk, linen and cotton—and these creative designers are able to present many items in fabrics of man-made fibers with all the fashion that their reputations are built on. “Natural" is an attitude, an awareness of color and texture put together from things that come from the earth-—the reds of clay, ranging to beet; the browns and greens of the forests; the gentle neutrals like mushroom, slate and ivory. Many of the care labels will emphasize the trade name of these fibers, of course, but if you read carefully enough you’ll find out their generic names.
