Alkali in Soap Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully to protect hair health. Most soaps and shampoos contain too much alkali, drying the scalp and making hair brittle. The advised remedy is ordinary milsified coconut oil, used sparingly to cleanse hair, rinse away dirt and oil, and leave scalp soft and hair silky and manageable. Milisified coconut oil is inexpensive and available at pharmacies for family use.
