Immediately made black, brown or light
brown, which ever shade you desire,
by the use Of the following remedy
that you can make at home:
Merely get a small box OF Orlex pow
der at any drug store. It costs very
little and no extras to buy. Dissolve
it In water and comb it through the
hair. Full directions for mixing and
use come in each box.
You need not hesitate TO use Orlex,
as a 500 gold bond comes in each box
guaranteeing the user that Orlex pow
der does not contain silver, lead, zinc,
sulphur mercury, aniline, coal-tal
products or their derivatives.
II does not rub off, is not sticky or
gummy and leaves the hair fluffy. II
