Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair In
I good condition, be careful what you
j wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
I contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and is very harmful. Just plain mul
sified cocoanut oil (whkh is pure
and entirely greaseless), Is much
I better than the mosi. expensive soap
jor anything else you can use for
I shampooing, as this can't possibly
| Injure the hair.
Simply, moisten your hair with
| water and rub It in. One or two
I teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
I ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair knd scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
! hair dries quickly and evenly, and
|lt leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulslfied cocoanut oil
lat most any drug store. It is very
I cheap, and a few ounces Is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months. —Adv.
