From the Mayans -
to the PH factor

The | ancient. Mayan
civilization some 300 years B.C.
just loved the avocado. ‘The

.feult was both part of thelr
staple diet and, at the same
lime, abasic ingredient for
beauty preparations,

The pulp of the frult, which is
richin vitamins A, E, and B, as
well:as several minerals in-

, cluding iron, was oflen mashed
and ground with dyes and
daubed on the face and hair to
improve the appearance.

And Giltette of Canada is
hoping thal Canadian women
will come {o love the avocado,
along with the apricot and green
apple for basically the same
reason, .

For these are the three
fragrances of the company’s
new Earth Born Natural pH
Balance Shampoos, which’ will
be adverlised by the campany
slarting next Monday,
November 25: Avocado for dry
hair; Apricot for normal hair;
and Green Apple for oily hair.

Apart from the fragrances,
ux: shampeo line's difference
lies in the fact that itis based on
pH contral - a concept which is
emerging from the professional
‘beauty trade, and which is now
available ta the consumer.

In simple terms. what this ~

means is thal Earth Born helps
maintain the natural acid
balance of the hair and scalp.
Skin and hair are slightly acid
normally; soap and detergents
are alkaline, The expression pH
refers to this acid-alkaline
relationship.

Earth Born, therefore, helps.
reslore hair (to its normal,:

natural pH balance and helps
avercome the damage which
can be caused by alkaline
shampoos, hair colours, per-
manents, straighteners, and
sun, wind and weather. Used

* regularly, it will help restore
ary, dull or damaged hair to its
original state.

1n. 1973, consumers spent $47.9
million onshampoos in Canada,
and itis estimated that the

market will reach $53 million -

retail dollars in 1975, Students
and young women in the 12-24
age bracket account for 47 per

A leading Canadian hair care
specialist is adamant: “pH
control shampoos should appeal
to everyone, from. those peaple
who shampoo once a week to

other who may shampoo every:

day. Actually, the more
frequently a pH shampoo !s
used, the better the results,

“Too frequent shampocing
with the wrong formula can
have long-lasing, damaging

* effects on the hair which are
difficult to rectify.”

He adds that this danger can
be overcome with pH control
shampoo and that damaged
hair ean often be restored ta its
natural state within a month of
regular use. . :

Other immediate benefits of
Earth Born include its ability to
remove calcium and other
mineral deposits left by. tap
water, thus allowing the natural
gloss and colour’ of the hair to

shine through. It also produces -

minimum static, leaving the
hair easier lo comb, free from
snags and breakage and
generally more manageable.
These factors are critical for an
overall well-groomed = ap-
pearance required by today’s
‘women.

What is a normal pH level?
As the human hair originates, it

has a normal level of from 4.0 to .

6.0 - mildly acidie - and any

davialion from this level,

particularly if it {s upward,

affects lustre, manageability,
— splitting and breakage.

Most hair preparations on the
market, such as colour,
treatments, permanents,
straighteners and shampoos,
are alkaline and fall into the 7.0
te 10,0 range, with some going
even. higher.. ‘The effect,
therefore, is harmful rather
than beneficial.

Earth Born is packaged in -

eight and (welve-aunee . plastic
“bottles in a milk-bottle design
which is expected to have
considerable appeal ta women
with an interest in the “back to
nature” Lrend, The shape of the
bottle allows it to be held more
securely than other shampoo
containers on the market,
thereby avoiding unnecessary
aceidents and spillage. .

Oxfam international

awarness fast

Oxfam in Western Canada is
again organizing a region-wide
“international awareness fast’’
tooceur just before Christmas.
On Thursday, December 9, 1974
all Eastern Canadians ‘will be
asked to give up at least their
evening meal and send the
money saved to Oxfam. The
money raised will be used to
purchase Western Canadian
agricultural products for
famine relief in the eastern
slates of India.

According to Grant Rowan,
Oxfam Western Regional
Director in Winnipeg, the
campaign hopes to collect over
$200,000. ‘The fast is designed
to promote awareness of the

fact that millions of people *

’ .

around the’ world go hungry
every day.. Il seems ap-
propriate that at Christmas
time we should share ‘some af

aur agricultural wealth with -

people who are less furtunate. -
Monies donated will be used to
buy Western Canadian food

products and ship them to the

food-short, eastern states of

pecple may be at ritk of

Donallons may be sent to

vin time for choosing and
ving gifts is upon us once
again. We ail will be giving
childrens gifts. Everyone
knows a child ‘be it- brother,
sister, niece, nephew, grand-
child or our own children. With
all the childrens gifts bought we
still haven't learned how to shop

wisely for childrens toys.

When buying toys stick to
simple ones that will be played
with at the same time as they
are educating the child. An

* elaborate toy is likely Lo wind up
lying around especially if it Is
for a very small child.

It ig wiser lo stick to simple
washable dolls and the like
unless you positively know the
parent will approve of the gift.
Some parent's would rather not
allow their children to play with
loy guns and elaborate
chemistsy sets. A parent ts the
best judge of whether a child is
responsible enough for this
sort of loy. When in doubt ask.

i the child has a hobby you
could add a few articles to his
collection, or buy a few supplies
toward his hobby. If you nalice
that the child particularly likes’
something you have and it.
would be a wise gift either give‘
to him or get him one like it, An
