SOAP IS BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very
sparingly, If at all, If you want
to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepar-
ed shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries tn scalp.
makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady
use is Just ordinary mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and
greaseless). Is cheaper and
better than soap or anything
else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the
hair with water and rub 1t In.
1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lathev, which rinses
out easily. removing every par
ticle OF dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and
It leaves the scalp soft. and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lus-
trous. fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoa
nut oil at any pharmacy, and y
few Ounces will supply every
member OF the family for
months.
