　　Whether the hair is long or short, it must be regularly brushed and regularly washed. For greasy(油腻的) hair, especially if the owner lives in a town, it may be necessary to wash the head every four or five days. Those with a dry hair can usually go a little longer, but this is a matter for the individual to decide.

　　1f a woman is not able to go to the hairdresser's very often, it is important that she chooses a style she can easily manage for herself, and this nearly always means that the first cut must be very standard. The same applies to (适用于) permanent waving (电烫). Ideally this should be carried out three or four times a year, so that the hair never gets out of hand.

　　One thing should be remembered though, that is, whatever you apply to the head can have some effect upon the skin and therefore anything strong should be used with care. Or you may use milder products. As for style, this must be studied according what is the latest fashion and also to suit the individual at different times of her life.

　　Young people who has spots and skin troubles on their face should take particular care to ensure that the hair is both clean and does come into contact with the affected piece of skin. Hair is very difficult to keep completely clean and therefore anyone running their hands through their hair and afterwards touching their face, or letting their hair fall over their faces, might spread from one place to another. Good hair does a lot to the effect of a face, so if you want to look charming, please start the hair.
