Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain 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), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply 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 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 lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months.-Ad-
vertisement.
