SOAP Is BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly. if at all, If you want to keep
your hair looking its best Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
ruins il.
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 it in. II makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily. re-
moving every particle 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 manage.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy. and a few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.
