If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually no hair troubles. An especially fine shampoo for this weather, one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair, that dissolves and entirely removes all dandruff, excess oil and dirt, can easily be used at trifling ex pense by simply dissolving a teaspoon ful of canthrox (which you can get at any druggist's) in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair Instead of just the top of the head. This chemically dis solves all impurities and creates a soothing, cooltng lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the) glossy richness of natural color, also a fluffiness which makes It seem much, heavier than it is.
