Use Coc0anut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep ..-cur hair in
good condition. be careful what lou
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shar1poos
contain too lnuch alkali. This dries
the scal-,. makes the hair brittle, and
IS very harmful Just plain multified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-.
,irely graaseless). 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 water
and rub 1t in. one or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance OF rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and salp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil The hair dies quickly
and evenly, and . leaves it line and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces Is enough to
LIST everyone in re famil;' for months.
