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 (Which is pure and en-
trely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling. a. this can't possibly injure the
hair
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub il in. One or two teaspoon
fuls 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 a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.-AdV
