Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poqs contain too much alkaii. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle.
and ruins it,
The best thing for steady Use is Null
si!ied cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better than
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonluls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every particle Of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get Mulsiied cocoanut oil
