Now is a good time to take note of the speed, comfort, and efficiency of modern professional permanent waving, since 1955 marks the 50 year anniversary of the permanent wave.
1955 is Golden Anniversary Of Permanents
This is also the golden age of hair design, according to the Official Hair Fashion Committee of the National Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association, for in no other age in history can coiffures vie with today's styles of natural beauty.
The coiffures of today, such as the Americano, are a harmony of graceful line, designed to enhance the individual beauty of each woman. They are beautiful from any angle of view, and allow a freedom of action never known in any other age.
This golden age in hair design is due in a large measure to the development of permanent waving in 1905, Charles Nessler, the father of permanent waving, gave his first public demonstration in London, a demonstration that led to a complete change in the hairdressing profession, and freed womankind of literally yards of hair which fashion demanded that women wear since time immemorial.
In his day, Nessler advised that five-foot hair be cut to three feet for a satisfactory wave. In this day and age, the foremost hair fashion authorities describe hair length in inches and fractions of inches.
The first record of experimenting with permanent waves is traced to the early Egyptians along the banks of the Nile river, where women used orange wood sticks, mud from the Nile, and the heat of sunshine.
The next great invention in the field of curling was the "waving iron" invented by Marcel in 1872, and named for temporary waves to women's hair.
After the Nessler wave, the first croquignole method of permanent waving was introduced in 1926. It was an improvement over the previous spiral permanent wave in that it made a perfectly shaped wave, which was natural looking.
The next improvement was the machineless wave, first introduced before a gathering of members of the mineralogical society of Metamorphologists Association in 1932.
By the middle of the 40's, cold waving was developed. Its use in beauty salons today is the result of blending the skills of the laboratory technician and the professional hairdresser to give American women a permanent with speed, efficiency and comfort.
Kelso is a 1954 graduate of the KU School of Pharmacy, and is now employed in Wichita.
The wedding is planned for June 4.

New Colors May Enhance Hair Styling
Color will play a prominent role in the hair fashion picture for spring this year, according to the Official Hair Fashion Committee of the National Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association.
The colors will range through a brilliant selection of tones and shades to accent the spring ensembles of the fashion-wise, according to information released for National Beauty Salon Week. Feb. 20-26, which is dedicated to more beautiful women.
Among the new colors, topaz tones will wive with warm hues of gold narcissus, champagne tins will blend with pale primrose tones, and ruby shades will range to blushing shades of peach blossom pink. Among brunettes, rich brown mink shades and warm bunny brown tones will be popular. Black tresses will be highlighted with hyacinth purple lights. Silver hair will capture hues of the blue-bells, or have violet overtones. All shades will sparkle as brilliantly as jewels.
Temporary rinses and more permanent hair coloring will both be popular, but should be applied by a cosmetologist. Experts caution that hair coloring is not a job for an amateur.
The new preparations used for hair coloring by cosmetologists today are modern miracles of scientific development. Their application results in a brilliant and lustrous coiffure. They actually condition the hair in addition to making it more beautiful.
However, a great deal of experience and training in this exacting art of cosmetology is required, in addition to a tremendous amount of knowledge of hair and scalp conditions, to create the desired picture of beauty.
Hair coloring today can bring out the natural beauty of every shade of hair. It is the modern cosmetic that makes a coiffure a woman's crowning glory.
