Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain

and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats the most expensive

You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole family
