ADVERTISEMENT Cocoanut Oil Makes " A Splendid Shampoo If you want to keep your hair in good 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 tle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless),' is much better than anything else you can use for Ehampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your.Jiair 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 manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces jis, enough to last everyone fin the family for months.
