Curling False Hair

Wind the hair on smooth round sticks about as large as a curling iron, fasten the ends firmly to the stick, then wind over the hair a strip of cloth, which must also be fastened at the ends, put in a dish of warm water sufficient to cover, and let it boil two hours. Remove from the water and place in a moderately heated oven to remain until nearly dry, when they should be placed in the sun or near the stove until they are perfectly dry, when they may be unwound from the sticks and brushed over the finger. If too dry or not sufficiently glossy, put a little oil on the brush. Care should be taken while the hair is in the oven that it does not become too warm. - "PERDU."
