After removing the towel, the head should be shampooed as follows:
To two quarts of warm water add one teaspoonful of sodium carbonate (washing soda). Wet the hair with this solution and then apply Castile soap and rub the head thoroughly about ten minutes. Wash the soap out of the hair with repeated washings of clear warm water. Dry the hair thoroughly.
Nits: If the head is shampooed regularly each week as above described, it will cure and prevent the condition of "nits."
