Be Careful in. Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for It is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all TO pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
ana rub it in, about a teaspoOnful is
all that is required. II makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking
bright. fluffy. wavy. and easy TO
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle Of dust, dirt and
dandruff.
