Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, II
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseess), and better than
ANYTHING else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfus 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 Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will supply
every member of the family for months.
