THE MICHIGAN DAILY Care of Hair' Must Include Health Habits Shampoos, Brushing Play- Important Part In Proper Treatment By BARB HECHT Through the ages men and women have regarded their coif- fures as a vital part of their per- sonal appearance and attractive- ness. Special headresses involving in- tricate braids, twists and twines made hair one of the most dis- tinctive features of ancient cos- tumes., Today proper hair care is im- portant for reasons other, than embellishment. Through proper care, the hair will be more at- tractive, clean and healthy. Proper health habits include adequate-diet and sleep. Regular washings every week or two with a mild soap, as well as daily brushings, will help maintain heal- thy hair. Correct combing and brushing of the hair cannot be over-em- p hasized. Hair brushing should be done at least twice a day, using long, firm strokes. . The proper time to shampoo varies with the individual. Unfortunately, some persons are plagued with oily hair, caused by too much secretion of fat from the sebaceous glands of the scalp. Ex- cessive oiliness often results in extreme cases of dandruff. By us- .ng tar or sulphur soaps or green tincture of soap, the oiliness may be reduced. Due to a reverse condition of the sebaceous glands, exposure to' sunlight, improper care or health reasons, others have trouble with dry hair. Dryness may be aided by light- ly greasing hair with vaseline. Coeds often have difficulty with split ends or broken hairs. This condition usually results from a lack of oil, health disturbances, curling hair,. 1 Suit, Dress Fashions To Use New Fabrics V -Daily-Sam Ching RAINWEAR-Smartly styled for everyday wear is this linen water-repellant coat in a misty coral shade, featuring patch pockets, wooden buttons and a matching hat. -Daily-Sam Ching BLACK AND WHITE-Left is a white poplin water-repellent wrap featuring black waist-high gussets and a white cumberband headpiece that can also be worn as a belt. Right is a black print raincoat appliqued in white velvet. The velvet is also used for collar, cuffs, and matching hat. Raincoats Appear in Gay Colors v.9 By ESTHER MARGOLIS Rain in the spring is as much of a tradition in Ann Arbor as the lions in front of the museum, so coeds had better start preparing their wardrobe for the wet sea- son. Slickers colored all shades of the rainbow are still occupying the majority of display space in the' clothing stores, but variety can be achieved by looking into the new spring styles in rainwear. "Black and white are to be the }nain colors or spring rainware,' stated one Ann Arbor business- woman. To set off this the me is a white poplin raincoat with bii patch pockets. The tapered sleeves and collar feature the black trim. 'For a Sleek Look' been introduced. It features a back single vent, long full-fash- ioned sleeves with buttoned flaps, patch pockets (two of which occupy the right side of the coat), and a light-colored plaid lining. Bright colors have not complete- ly given up to the fashion spot- light, as shown by a bright orange flaired full-length raincoat with long cuffed sleeves and an orange and white plaid lining. This coat's special attraction is the extra large cape which can also be worn as a hood. For those to whom the colors red, jade green or beige are more appealling, these are available in a style similar to the one mention- ed above. The only difference is the exception of the cape-hood effect. In its place is a matching hat and belt. Trench Coat The trench coat is still one' of the popular fashions in rain- wear. Along with the classic, nat- ural-colored coat is one of the same style in a blackwatch plaid with matching hat. Water-repellent topcoats are also being designed for dress and eve- ning wear. Velveteen is used as the material for one such coat. It is styled with a mandarin collar, big patch pockets, a milium lining and comes in either rust or royal blue. Also for "dress-up" is a blue tweed tailored coat with a hat and shoulder bag to match. German Fashions One Western German exporting firm has sent three styles for Am- erican rainwear distribution. The first is a full, natural colored wrap featuring a mandarin collar with a modified cape effect. The second is a belted, wide collared coat witi side pockets and a bright plaid lining. It comes in either charcoal grey or beige. The third has the "foreign in- trigue" look with a wide, square cape that can be worn as a hood. The manufacturers recommend hand laundering for all three styles. Also on the market' is a four- piece rainwear ensemble, which contains a coat of waterproof elasti-glass, a separate Dutch hood, a separate belt to be worn three ways and a three-in-one carry bag. Still in fashion are the reed- slim umbrellas in their varied colors, sizer and patterns. By ROSE PERLBERG Feather-weight, light and airy describe the news in Spring suits this year. Silk suitings and their near rel- atives, the silk-look suitings, silk blended with worsted or wool, star on the fashion horizon. Introduced to the public several years ago, the silk suit began its career as a man's suit made in a heavy Italian weave. Its success inspired designers to bring it into the world of feminine attire, where its popularity was even greater than expected. This year silk suitings have reached an almost universal fash- ion status, with silk tweeds in lead position. Blends of Silk The fashion scope is further am- plified by blends of silk with other fibers, especially silk and wool. Blends of silk-and-acrilan and similar synthetic fibers are also up and coming, famous for their light weight and ease of care. The ever popular silk-with-cot- ton and silk-with-rayon is still going strong, but is slowly being replaced by the other mixtures. Elsewhere in the line of suits, lightweight, finely textured tweeds in delicate, pretty colors and the old stand-by flannel are rated be- low silks and silk mixtures in the fashion popularity poll. Favored Color Gray seems to be the favored color for flannels, with beige and blue following close behind. Moving into the realm of the spring dress, silk in all of its many variations triumphs beyond a doubt. Boasting less pressing require- ments, considerable warmth and light weight, linen-weave is an as- set to any woman's wardrobe, for traveling or routine wear. Popular Fabric Its ability to take color and look equally well in dark and light shades has made it a popular fab- ric for spring suits and dresses. Following the same fabric fash- ion trend, silk tweed has achieved a major place in the dress line this spring. In addition to these rustic silks the other big story in dresses is silk prints, with silk shantung out in front. Making its debut this year is thin, soft, silk satin, sponsored by Paris' ever influential Couture. De- signers feel that the use of satin gives a new look to prints. Second To Silks Cottons, rayons and linens con- tinue to flourish, but seem to be playing second fiddle to the silks and silk blends. Black dominates the scene, stronger than it has been in sev- eral years, while the beige-to- light brown range comes in second as the smart promotional color fashion of the year. r Blues spear-headed by navy are next, with apricot-to copper at- taining rising popularity, after its introduction by Christian Dior in Paris last summer. Red, violet, gold or yellow and light, soft green, also appeargon the fashion horizon, while gray has lost the commanding position it enjoyed in previous years. In looking at fashion fabrics for Spring 1956, one may find that a year has made a great deal of difference, but it is important to realize that fashion designers are guided by the fact that the Ameri- can woman is always looking for something new and different and it is up to the designers to provide it.

Dr. Margaret Bell, Health Ser- vice physician and head of the Women's Department of Physical Education, answers the questions of many University women about such common problems as diet, complexion care and posture. She commented that a good! build will last a lifetime and is important to work for, so that a woman may look her best every spring and for the rest of the year. Balanced Diet "You can not change your her- edity, but you can learn the value of a balanced diet and the harms of sporatic dieting, diet pills and such,' she answered when ques- tioned about the 'starvation' diets undertaken by some coeds. A sound daily program for main- v taining a healthy body and there- fore a healthy attitude include a combination of the right foods, some exercise and plenty of sleep. Dr. Bell mentioned that after exercising to lose weight, a person often weighs more, but this in- crease may be due to muscle and not excess fat, and in most cases results in improved appearance. Complexion Care Eating habits are also important in care of the complexion, as many women find that certain food Fragrance Types There is a difference between perfume, toilet water and cologne. Perfume is the strongest form of fragrance, it's the exquisite blend- ing of essential oils, with just enough alcohol to carry it and make it delightful to use. Toilet water has more alcohol, making it less strong. And, col- ogne is usually the lightest. products do not agree with their particular skin. Hints given by Dr. Bell for main- taining a clear complexion, include frequent cleansing and keeping hands and objects such as pencils away from the face. Scratching, irritating or squeez- ing a blemish only spreads bac- teria to other pores, and soon a series of infections can begin. Posture For an alert and self-confident look in your new clothes, posture plays an important part. According to Dr. Bell, instruc- tors at Barbour Gym are available to suggest various exercises for in- dividual women. These exercises are ones that can be done at home and can be kept up year after year to maintain proper posture. The way you look and feel is an important factor in how your new clothes and old ones will look on you. Such is the belief of fashion as well as health experts.
