1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH 1T WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very sparing-
ly, if at all, il 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 teaspoon fuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
~. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t in. 1t makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle Of dus-, dirt, dandruff
and excessive Oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mu1sified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and q few ounces
