USE COCOANUT OIL
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want TO keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkah. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful Just plain
mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which is
pure and entirely greaseless) is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly iniure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub It in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abun-
dance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleansos the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt. dandruff and excess
slvc oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves Il fine and
