Alkali in Soap Bad for Washing Hair

Many soaps and prepared ~shampoos'
contain too much free alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsifed
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. 1t is mex
pensive and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store. and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Two or three %teaspoonfuls is all that
is required. Simply moisten your hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which ~cleanses thoroughly, and rinse'
out easily.

and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
