Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much a1kali This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better than
the most expensive soap OF anything
else you can use for shampooing as
this can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls 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 ev My, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store It is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months
