Use CocQanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want TO keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash il
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very
harmful Just plain mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely erease-
lcsS), is much better than the most ex-
pensiye soap or anything else YOU can
use Tor shampooing, as this can't pos
slbly lnjure the hair.
Simply moitten your hair with water
and rub II in. One or two teaspooniuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanseS the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lsther rinses out east
ly and removes every particle Of dust
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. Th,
hair dries quickly and evenly, and Il
\ leaves It fine and silky, bright, fluff,
and easy TO manage.
You can get mulsiiied cocoanut oil
