Summary

Pathe synopsis: Throughout the ages, women’s hair fashions have often caught the eye - the styles ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. Now Mayfair hair stylist Dumas has gone East, and back in time, to the geisha look. This westernised version of it is highlighted by colours like "Geisha Green" and "Mandarin Blue"!
