I think the Victorian "tent hair" is mostly due to braid waves, which are then possibly brushed, rather than the washing routines. Cool article though.

s-a-m-a-r-k-a-n, I love your sig.

The whole sebum with oils added for styling never looked as good on blondes whose hair looks thinner, clumped and just greasy in the Victorian photos I have seen. Like my hair on day 5 (-; It's a nice article, very LHC friendly.

Haha yes, being oil does not flatter blonde hair at all.

Not a good look! I sometimes wish mine was brown so I might be able to stretch washes further.

That was great fun and quite interesting! Thanks for posting the link. One of the most interesting points the author made was the shift in thinking from Pantene commercial hair to natural healthy hair.

One look at the great heads of hair on the Vegans and Vegetarians thread proves it wrong I think!

That was awesome, thank you! It took me a while to get through it because I couldn't stop staring at the pictures. Breathtaking.

I must've missed that part. I've been vegetarian for 45 years, vegan for the last 5 years and my hair is thicker and fuller than it's ever been, especially in the last 6 months since I dropped all processed foods. Vegetables and fruits are really good for growing hair!
