There Is real common sense In
just noticing whether the hair Is
we'll kept to judge of woman s
neatness, or good taste. II you
are one of the few who try to
make the most Of your hair, re.
member that 1t is not advisable to
wash the hair with ANY cleanser
made for all purposes, but always
use some good shampoo. You can
enjoy the very best by getting
some canthrox from your drug
gist, dissolve teaspoonful in a
cup of hot water. This makes a
full cup of shampoo liquid, enough
so It is easy to apply 1t to all
the hair instead of just the top of
the head. Dandruff, excess oil,
and dirt are dissolved and entire
ly disappear. Your hair will be so
fluffy that II will look much
heavier than IL is. It's luster and
softness will also delight you.
while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair
growth.
