BALD WOMEN FEARED.

A PREVALENT EPIDEMIC

London women are threatened with an epidemic of baldness owing to the increasing use of false hair, such as “puffs,” “rats,” frames, pads, “transformations,” “pin curls,” and such like. . “If ladies persist in wearing false hair and employing artificial, means to ‘puff out’ their hair they will eventually become bald,” says a beauty specialist with a large practice in the, West End. “The appliances used press on the scalp and impede the. circulation of til© blood. The result is that the roots of the, hair become impoverished, and in time the hair itself gets so weak and thin that,it drops out. a “Very little air can get to the scalp, imprisoned as it is in frames, t ‘puffs, ’ and ‘transformations,’ in addition - to the ordinary hair.”
