DON'T WASH YOUR
HAIR WITH SOAP

When you wash your hair, don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as ii dries
the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just
plain mulsiiied cocoanut oil. for
this is pure and entirely grease
less. It's very cheap. and beats
soaps or anything else all TO
pieces. You can get this at any
drug store. and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub il in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required.
II makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thorough
ly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
is soft, fresh looking, bright. fluffy,
wavy and easy 10 handle. Besides,
IL loosens and takes out every
particle Of dust. dirt and dandruff.
