BE CAREFUL IN USING
SOAP ON YOUR HAIR
x x 4 * x x 4 x < < 4 X

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified eocOanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han
die, Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dand-
ruff.
