Cocoanut 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
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsiiicd cocoanut oil sham
poo (Which is pure and entirely grease
lcss?, is much better than anything else
YOU can Use for shanpooing, 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 cas-
lily and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
YOU can get Mulsiied cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone i'll the family for months.
