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 mulsihed
cocoarut 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 wa
ter 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, dandruf and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
ard evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man.
age.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Advertis
