Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good
condition. be careful what you wash II
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is
very harmful. Just plain mulsif1ed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and entire
ly 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 1noisten your hair with water
and rub II in. One or two teaspoonruls
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 eX-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and it leaves it fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It Is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last
everyone III the family for MONTHS
