Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkaIi.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle. and ruins it
The besr thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance Of rich
creamy lauher. which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust dirt
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months-Adv.
