Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very care

looking its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.

fled will cleanse the hair and scalp
