USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
ingly, if at all, if you want to keep
your hair looking it's best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries the
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 thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dand-
ruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft andthe haid
fine and silky, bright, lustrous and
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and a few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.
