(I'll skip the egg yolks) And warm for wash and cold for rinse is also a good idea. <BR/>I think it was the shampoo companies that convinced today's women that they should wash their hair every day! And if you read the instructions, you're supposed to do it twice! Verrrry bad for the hair. Then they can sell you a lot of (even more expensive) conditioner for the frizzy nest you've created with all that washing! All commercial shampoos contain SLS products, which are (by the way) also used to clean garage floors!<BR/>Woops. Got on my soapbox for a minute.<BR/>Nancynancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587048072191384586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-30770392380892682652009-01-27T18:19:00.000+00:002009-01-27T18:19:00.000+00:00When I was growing up I was often at the home of n...When I was growing up I was often at the home of neighbors who were surrogate grandparents for me and my sisters. An attic bedroom held an overflow of books which had belonged to generations past. One of them was a manual of health and hygiene from a similar era to the one you are quoting. I went through it in a mixture of fascination and horror [meeting with facts of life?] and recall the drawings of a tightly corsetted woman and the accompanying diagram of squished and distorted insides. Even in the 1980's driving my mother-in-law to buy a new "girdle" was a yearly event that I turned over to my daughter as soon as she had a driver's license.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-55331721865704473462009-01-27T07:09:00.000+00:002009-01-27T07:09:00.000+00:00What a fantastic find!
