the text seems
to discourage henna, and promote the "more natural looking"
paraphenylendiamine
dyes, "with para-phenylendiamine, it is possible to duplicate the most
unusual shade of human hair without impairing its lustre or texture.
...
A small percentage of patrons are sensitive to aniline derivative dyes
(PPD). To identify such individuals is required for all patrons
prior
to applying the dye. This is required by law." ( The
tests
require that a the PPD hair dye be applied behind the ear, and the
patron
return 24 hours later, to be examined for inflammation, redness,
itching, sensitivity.) Note: PPD dyes cause
delayed
hypersensitivity reactions which may not begin for 3 -10 days!
To its credit,
this book
describes several contagious diseases and describes how to avoid
spreading
them from patron to patron: Diphtheria, Gonorrhea, Tuberculosis,
Typhoid
Fever, Influenza, and Syphilis. It mentions that pathogenic bacteria
cannot
be seen with the naked eye. It warns against uncovered coughing,
sneezing, and spitting in public. It warns against unclean hands,
unclean instruments, open sores and pus, mouth and nose discharges, and
common use of drinking cups and towels. It warns that pus is a sure
sign
of the presence of an infectious disease. It states that implements can
be sterilized with warm soapy water and alcohol (though electric
clippers
should be disconnected before putting into water).. Various and Sundry quotes from this amazing book: Hair tinting and Bleaching ... (referring to aniline, coal tar ... paraphyenylenediamine hair dyes) ... is sure repeat business. The patron who once starts to have her hair tinted must keep right on coming to your shop at regular intervals. ...it will become one of your most profitable fields of income. Tinted or Bleached Hair has Advantages to Certain Women: 1. The business woman who perhaps feels that the shade of her hair is a handicap to her business. 2. The woman who is married to a man of much younger appearance. 3. The young unmarried woman, whose hair has turned prematurely gray. 4. Gray haired
women who
wish to appear younger. And, never
forget: Straight hem, no
drooping
slip! Reference: |
