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 alkili This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very harmful Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything 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 father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and re- moves every particle of dust, dirt dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluf- fly and easy to manage.
 You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It IS very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Adv
