Simply moisten your hair with j water and rnb it in. One or two j teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses j the hair and scalp thoroughly. The ; lather rinses out easily, and removes ■ | every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff j i and excessive oil. The hair dries | quickly and evenly, and it leaves it i fine and silky, bright, fluff? and i easy to manage. You can get mulsificd cocoanut oil at most any drug store.
