The best thing to use is Nulsified
cocoanut Oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get Mulsified at any
drug store, and q few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls Of Null
sified i'm a cup or glass with a little
warm water is all that is required 1t

lather. cleanses thoroughly. and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and is soft, fresh looking,
bright. fluffy. wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides. II loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
