Rinse the Hair Thoroughly

THIS is very important. After the
L final washing, the hair and scalp
should be rinsed in at least two changes
Of good warm water and followed with
a rinsing in cold water.
When you have rinsed the hair
thoroughly, wiring it as dry as you can;
finish by rubbing it with a towel, shak-
ing it and fluffing it until it is dry.
Then give it a good brushing.
After a Mulsifed shampoo YOU will
find the hair will dry quickly and evenly

thicker and heavier than it is.

You can get Mulsi6ed at any drug
store or toilet goods counter, anywhere
in the world. A 4-ounce bottle should
last for months.
The Washington times., 1922-03-05
A Simple, Easy Method

EIRST put two or three teaspoonfuls
i of Mulsihed in a cup or glass with
little warm water. Then wet the hair
and scalp with clear warm water. Pour
the Mulsi6cd evenly over the hair and
rub it thoroughly all over the scalp and
throughout the entire length, down to
the ends Of the hair.
Two or three teaspoonfuls will make
an abundance of rich, creamy lsther.
This should be rubbed in thoroughly
and briskly with the finger tips, so as
to loosen the dandruff and small par
ticles of dust and dirt that stick to the
scalp.
After rubbing in the rich, creamy
Mulsi6ed lather, rinse the hair and
scalp thoroughly-always using clear,
fresh, warm water.
Then use another application of
Mulsi6ed, again working up a lather
and rubbing it in briskly as before.
Two water are usually sufficient for
washing the hair, but sometimes the
third is necessary.

hair is perfectly clean, it will be soft
