Cocoanut Oil Shampoo Suggested For Hair Care

Readers are advised to use refined cocoanut oil as a mild shampoo instead of alkali-heavy soaps. Dismiss harsh shampoos. rubbing water-moistened oil into hair produces rich lather that cleanses scalp and dust, dandruff, and excess oil, leaving hair soft and manageable. Cheap, available at drug stores, lasting months.
