Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair

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 the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is vey harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely 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 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, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is cheap,' and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. Adv.
