Flippin' Through: Ideas About Hair Dressing by Pro-phy-lac-tic c.1923

  Today's 'Flipping Through' is a little bit different.  Instead of a traditional magazine I found a small booklet titled Ideas About Hair Dressing, which is a sort of advertisement and instructional book in one by the brand Pro-phy-lac-tic.  There is no date in the book, but based on this brand's advertisements in archived magazines and the hairstyles shown it appears to be circa 1923*.
