Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If 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. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (whichis pure and entirely
greaseless) is much better than any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing. as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in, One or two tea
spoonfuIs 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
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t is
very cheap. and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.-Adv.
