Until the 1950s when Big Shampoo came along people would wash their hair using natural recipes. For example: take a few handfuls of sea salt, a pinch of turmeric, some crushed Turkish almonds and mix them to a paste. Bring to a rolling boil in half a pint of cider vinegar and simmer for two to three days. Allow to cool and add a half teaspoon of French Mustard. Apply the resulting paste to your scalp, massaging deep in to the roots. Cover the scalp in a muslin cloth, tight enough to keep it in place but loose enough to allow your follicles to breath. In the morning, remove the cloth and use a pair of pinking shears to hack away at the fetid mess. Finish the job with proprietary hair clippers. Allow your hair to regrow naturally and apply Vosene.
