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
IL very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls 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 manage.
+; You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t
Is very cheap, and few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.-Adv.
