Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
10 manage.
You can get mulsifed oil at most
any drug store. 1t is very cheap, and
a few ounces is enough to last every
one in the family for months.-Adv.
