BACK TO SCHOOL Easy care hairstyling Lindsay Daniels models her new easy care hairstyle for school. Both students and moms appreciate a style that requires little fuss and will keep hair tidy during the entire school day. Easy care hairstyle Sending the kids back to school with easy care hairstyles does more than make them look good, it makes things easier for Mom. Hairdresser, Kate Lasalle, suggests washing your child's hair with only professional hair products. These products are available at most beauty salons. Use shampoo design- ed for normal hair and follow with a normalizer such as Her- bal Konzil. A conditioner only coats your child's hair and gets rid of tangles, whereas a normalizer opens the cuticles in the hairshaft and brings the PH level back down to where it should be. As well, it gets rid of tangles. Depending on the child, Lasalle suggests washing hair two to three times a week. Despite what has been said, you can wash hair too much. Lasalle suggests easy hairstyles for school that avoid a lot of fuss. A body perm that creates soft curls can be left to air dry and the use of gel Or mousse can create a quick style. The crimping iron is still being used to create wavy hair similar to the effect of braiding wet hair, letting it dry and combing it out. The "in" look for back to school this Fall includes the wedge look, layered wedges and layered bobs. One popular unisex look is the short layered wedge which leaves hair fuller on top and clipped or shaved right into the hairline around the ears and back of neck. This is a very updated preppy look. Popular among teens is the streaked look. Teens may opt for one or more streaks through their hair with blond being the most popular color chosen. Teen boys are wear- ing their hair really short, much like an army cut, clip- ped very short around the ears. Little boys still favor the popular spike, and for all, it seems the emphasis is on short for school this Fall. For girls who still like long hair, Kate Lasalle cautions against using elastics. She says only covered elastics should be used, so as riot to damage the hair Head lice problem needs immediate treatment Once the insects of summer fade and the kids are settled back in school, you may find a new problem arises -- head lice. Children are more at risk of getting head lice than adults because they are grouped closely together at school. The Ontario Ministry of Health says head lice multiply quickly and can spread easily from one person to another. Because these pesky critters spread so rapidly, it is impor- tant to do something quickly once you know your child has PC-V2 picked them up. While head lice are a real nuisance and are difficult to get rid of, they are not a serious health hazard if treated promptly. Once you get over the horror of knowing your child has head lice, it is important to realize having lice has nothing to do with cleanliness. Anyone can get head lice as these bugs know no social barriers. Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that have flattened bodies. They live mostly in the hair and on the head. You can BACK TO usually find them behind the ears and on the nape of the neck. They are also known to live in a person's eyebrows, eyelashes and beards. The eggs or nits are no big- ger than half the size of a pin head. They can be found lying very close to the skin and at- tach themselves very firmly to the hair shaft with a cement like substance. The nits are often mistaken for dandruff, as they are oval shaped, opaque and yellowish-white in color.

This is why it is so important to do something about head lice at the very first sign. By using a magnifying glass you can be certain your child has head lice not just dan- druff.
