Isleworth, Middlesex.

M/S of a woman reading magazine. She is leaning over sink in front of a mirror. She is obviously waiting to have her hair done. A man comes from behind and starts cutting her hair. M/S of the girl's face - lovely face. A woman comes and wraps towel around the girl's neck and shoulders. Elderly man comes and starts combing the girl's hair. The man starts fiddling with several switches on the wall. This is a research centre in Isleworth, Middlesex, where scientists are studying the hair and examining the effects of different kinds of shampoo on different hairs in effort to improve the existing shampoos. High angle M/S of the girl's hair being washed. M/S of the other girl (an assistant) giving a little glass jar with shampoo to the man.
