Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse | 698 the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out eas- ily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and. it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage, You can get Munlsified cocoanut oil shampoo at any phsrmacy, it's very neap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.
