  • She also had bright yellow hair, which she washed once a week with a mixture of saffron, box shavings, wood ash, barley straw, madder, cumin seed, and one thing and another to bring out the hidden glints and restore its natural color.

If your hair remained on the scalp, you were a blonde.
    Will Cuppy
