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 alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle and ruins il.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified 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 viii cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly SiTn-
ply rnoisten the hair with water and
rub 1t in. II makes an abundance of
rich, creamy Iather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruR and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and even
", and 1t leaves the scalp soft, and
the hair fine and silky, bright, lust
rous, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces win supply every rnenn-
Der of the family for months Advt.
