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 shampoos contain too much alkali, This dries ‘he scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oll (which is pore and en- tirely 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 halr with water and rub it in. One or two tea- spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oll, The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves {t fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
