INOTOXi COLORS HAIR A§ NATURE DID J^UNDREDS of thousands of the very women most hesitant about coloring their gray hair now do so with Notox. Because Notox is so natural that it cannot be detected— and this is why: The Notox principle differs from that of the oldfashioned restorer that merely paints over the gray. Notox is a scientific coloring. It places pigment in the thread of fibres within the hair's lustrous covering— right where nature's color used to grow. Notox has to look natural because its method is natural. Notox is specifically guaranteed to impart color to gray, streaked or faded hair and guard all Its former harmonious beauty of lustre and of silken texture. It is guaranteed permanent; its color withstands any condition or treatment that Nature's will — brushing, shampooing, sunshine, salt water, perspiration, Turkish baths, permanent waving, marceling. It is safe, it cannot injure texture or growth. The ease of application enables anyone to apply it with invariable success in the privacy of her own home.
