Careless Shampooing
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If You want to keep your hair looking
its best. Many soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much free al
kali. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoannt oil shampoo,
which is pure and greaseless, and is
Letter than anything else you can
use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is sufi-
cient to cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the
hair with water and rub it in. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, which rinses out easily. re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excess oil. The hair
drAes quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy, and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store. 1t is in
expensive, and a few ounces will
supply every member Of the family
for months.
