Coccanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want TO keep your hair in good
condition. be careful what you wash It
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkal. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle. and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsihed cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless)
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 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,
dsndruff and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and, It leaves Il fine
and silky. bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. IL is very cheap.
