' HAIR NEEDS FREQUENT SHAMPOOS IN SUMMER. NATURAL ACID IN PERSPIRATION INJURES HAIR IT NOT WASHED AWAY. During the hot weather when one indulgeß in more or less active exercise the scalp perspires more freely, and the acid in this perspiration — normal though' it may be—will injure the hair if allowed to otay on the scalp. Therej fore shampooing should be practised more often to remove this stale acid. Nearly all soaps and ready-mixed shampoos—even the most expensive— contain too much alkali, which is dangerous, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. , Really the most elegant and safe thing to use is ordinary colinated cocoanut oil (a pure, saponified, but quite greaseless liquid), which 1 is not at all expensive—but is far, far better than soaps or other scalp-injurious things. Every chemist keeps a supply of this, and a few ounces lasts you and mother, sisters and brothers, for months. Just wet the hair with water and rub it through—thoroughly. One or two teaspoonfuls is plenty ■to create a big quantity of rich, heavy, creamy lather. It cleanses delightfully and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and easily and comes out brilliant, soft, fluffy, wavy, and fresh as a daisy, looking much thicker than it actually is. Best of all, this colinated cocoanut oil leaves the hair as easy to dress again as though you hadn't washed it at all. And yet it loosens and carries off every bit of excess oiliness, duat, or dandruff scurf. —Advt..
