Use Cocoanut Oil
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 all<ali This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful M,ulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo (Which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than any
thing else you can use for shampooing,
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-
ilN 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.
