Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
Use MuIsified
Use Mulsified

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Many soaps and prepared sham.
poos contains too much free alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and is very harmful:
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than anything
else you can use for shampooing,
as this cannot possibly injure the
hair.
/. Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. Two or three
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich. creamy lather, and
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excess oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy, wavy and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any drug store. It
is inexpensive, and a few ounces
will last everyone in the family
for months.
