HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, If you want to keep your
hair looking its 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 coooanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless) {,
and Is better than the most expen-
sive soap or anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
1t leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lust
rous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will sup
ply every member of the family
for months.
