Cocoanut Oil Makes A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in gcod condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit ile. and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure nnd entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. The lather rinses out eas ily and removes every particle of dust, dirt dandruff and excessive oil The' hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man age. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the fam ily for months.
