Hair Often Ruined by Careless Washing

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Many soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
free alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsihed cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaselcss), and
Is better than anything else you can
use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is suf-
ficient to cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten your hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excess OIL The hasf dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
