COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. just plain nlulsihed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.
