Use Cocoanut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared sl1ampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsihed cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely grease 1ess), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father 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 to manage.
 You can get mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
