Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If YOU want 10 keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shanpoos
contain too much alkali This dries the
scalp makes the hair brittle. and IS very
harmful Just plain mulsified oocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex.
pensiye soap or anything else sou 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 teaspooniuls
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 to
manage. &
You can get mulsi6ed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. II is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.
