[Lilt Home Permanent Short]

hi I'm Loretta DS and today we have a treat in store for you a lesson in hair styling by that famous New York Hair Stylist Julius Caruso you know when you go to julius's salon to have your hair done you don't know who's going to be under the next dryer it might be a Hollywood celebrity a Broadway star a socialite or maybe even a duchess or two but even if you never get to his Salon you can still have the benefit of his famous advice because Julius is the hair styling consultant for one of the largest manufacturers of Home permanence Lil the little instruction booklet you know that comes along with every push button home permanent waving kit that's julius's work it's right from his collection and now let's meet him Julius Caruso hello Loretta hi it's a pleasure to have you with us thank you it's nice being here well what are you going to talk to us about today well we're going to go into three areas today one is the roller arrangement the brush out and the permanent underneath I see well I also see that you have our gal here set up with rollers is that where we start yes um you'll notice here I'm using three size rollers uh the first size roller is what I call a medium siiz roller which I use along the hairline then I increase the diameter of the roller as I go into the head third size roller I call a stove pipe is a normous in size the largest you can possibly get I use at the crown of the head then I use pin curls around the cheeks and around around the base of the neck and with this you get a nice lifting blousy line that hugs the face hugs the neck uhhuh well what about the placement of rollers well that's very easily done by going to any news stand and there are many magazines that show you roller arrangements and how to brush out hair and I also have a booklet that I just put out that's in every package of a new home permanent but I think most important of all is how you pick up the hair to put a roller in a head I can show you very easily on your head if you don't mind all right instead of just taking the hair and straight parting it and putting the hair on the roller like so I zigzag the hair I'll this is what I mean by zigzagging see I make a jagged line and then I put the hair on the roller and when you comb this out you don't see all the little separations between the hair well what about brush out techniques well brushing out is a very very important factor in hairstyling you have to go through the great effort of placing curls in properly and rollers then you must vigorously brush through a head of hair so that the hair doesn't show any sort of separations and vigorously doesn't hurt the hair at all no as a matter of fact it just makes the hair flow into one another oh well I've heard you talk about back combing and back brushing uh would you tell us about them and what's the difference yes yes back brushing is to get certain effects uh this is what I call back brushing then I very gently take the brush over the top surface and it doesn't allow the hair to stand up quite as high as it does with backcombing backcombing makes you create higher fashion cures that will practically you can do most anything with it uhhuh well now let's talk a little bit about the permanent why do we need one well the reasons for a permanent are to give you a hair every hairstyle body control and it helps maintain any line that you decide to put in oh I see well now what are the basic features of a permanent what are the basic important things well first of all I think you must first know what kind of a style you want and it must be cut for this hairstyle secondly uh shampoo the hair quite thoroughly to get all the natural oils out and third uh I think a wonderful hint is for people that take a little bit longer to wrap a permanent wave at home uh to Pat the ends with a little uh olive oil or castor oil or any kind of kitchen oil to keep the ends from getting too curly sounds like we're about ready for our permanent tell me is there any difference between a home permanent and a salon permanent actually no it's the hands that do it ah speaking of hands now are there any special little hints you can give us about winding the curls yes there's one very good hint when you pick up the hair and after it's been saturated don't pinch the hair together just keep it spread as the comb spreads it out and very gently without tugging place that curl down well doesn't that make the curl looser no the timing is what determines whether it's going to be a tight or a loose curl oh well what do you mean by a body curl well I made a test curl here I'd like to show you did this a few minutes ago and when you open up a curl and you kick it back if it's 3/4 of an inch in the brake it's a loose curl if it's a/ inch that's a body curl and if it's a/ quart of an inch breake that's a tight curl one last question how permanent is a permanent well a permit is a permit as long as it's on your head when you cut it off and it lands on the floor it's no longer a per I see well thank you so much Julius for taking some of the mystery out of hair styling this has been Julius Caruso stylist for the Broadway and Hollywood stars and high society and special consultant for Lil home permanence
