Cleansing the Hair

Use a tablespoonful or two of common spirits of hartshorn, in a basin of water; then thoroughly wash the scalp and hair until they are clean; then wash with clean water, wipe dry, and apply a little light oil or pomade, if needed, to prevent taking cold.

Another good hair-wash is: Beat the whites of four eggs to a froth, rub well into the roots of the hair. Leave it to dry. Wash the head clean with equal parts rum and rosewater.

Dandruff can be removed by washing the head with buttermilk ana thoroughly cleansing with pure soft water afterward. - FARMER'S GIRL.
