Hair goop and suff from an 1880's perspective.
Thought you guys might be interested, as they are technically "Natural" remedies.

Thanks for sharing that. Very interesting recipes. Some of the ingredients might be a bit difficult to find today! ;D (and doubtful you'd want to use them!!)

Yeah, I bet they would be. Oil of Rosemary and Nutmeg aren't that hard to find though, and both have qualities for improoving circulation.
Mix a few drops of those perhaps in some Jojoba oil warm to skin temperature, dress through your hair, put a cap on and leave in over-night. Might be good to improove scalp circulation and sebum production.

This link has changed....

http://www.mirandamusic.com/gothampatterns/Hair.htm

That will take you to the main hair page and if you look at your left hand menu you will see the hair care recipies.

And looking at the recipies... I do remember an old native american rumor that involved using animal fat on your hair. It kept your braids in good shape and was good for the hair. But I'd imagine lard on the hair smelled awful. Another I'd heard was it kept lice away. Which was probably true, lice like dry hair, they'd have trouble hanging on to a slick oily hair/scalp.

But I keep wondering what it smelled like, larded hair in the summertime. ???

Eeeeeeewwwwwww!!!! No thanks on the lard in my hair - especially in the summer. :P I do use jojoba oil or aloe vera on my hair when I braid it and and want it to stay "neat" all day. If it is the day before washday, I use an extra amount of oil and consider it an extra conditioning! ;D
