Other Hair Troubles

Hair Splitting and Breaking is common among persons in poor health. The split ends of the hair should be clipped or singed, and a thorough course of scalp massage given. Dry Hair is caused by the failure of the glands in the scalp to secrete enough oil. Vaseline, olive oil, or sweet almond oil should be rubbed into the scalp with the tips of the fingers. Oily Hair is due to over-secretion of oil by the glands of the scalp. A reliable astringent tonic may be used. Massage is desirable for both dry and oily hair.
