Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Just ordi
nary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is
pure and entirely greaseless, is
much better thau 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 abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, 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, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
(it must be mulsified, plain cocoa
nut oil will not do) at most any
drug store. It is very cheap, and a
few ounces is enough to last every
one in the family for months.
