The Fashion in Hair Dyeing.
Fashion in hair dyeing has, it seems, declared at last against the auburn and bright gold tresses with which we have been lately familiar. These tints as well as the pale "bleached" straw hue are no longer to be worn, and a much darker shade, called in the secret circles of the trade itself by the unpoetical term "mahogany," is the latest decree. It is produced by a subtle mixture in which henna plays a leading part, but the dyeing process is long and tedious.
However, that cannot much matter to the ladies who once embark upon hair dyeing, since they have continually to submit themselves to its repetition as fresh hair grows. The prophets of these mysteries assure us that the time is coming when a "natural brown" will be the favorite tone. If it be true, therefore, that real blond hair is becoming extinct this will insure fashion to every one.— London Graphic.
