Cocoanut Oil Fine
for Washing Hair

If YOU want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash 1t
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aIkai This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsiied cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely greaseless), /,
is much better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use for sham
pooing as this cant possibly lniure the
hair.
Simply noisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
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,
dandruff and excessive oil The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine
and silky, bright, fluffy and easy To man
age.
/ You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil st
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last every
one in the family for months.
