historical hair care

I just put my sleeping braid in a bun, whenever I'm lazy. And thats at least once a week, but probably more often

Well, the less work/effort it takes, the better. Am I right?

Definitely! One of the reasons I enjoy long hair, is because I can get away with doing less with it, than shorter hair

Same here.
Like today when I put my hair up in a nautilus bun and thought, "why should I bother with a hairstick, when my hair is long enough to stay up on its own?", and so the hairstick remained in my pocket unused.

Thank you, TatsuOni for showing those wonderful combs from the museum in Sweden.

No matter how long my Houdini-hair becomes, it will never stay up on its own for long

Don't know if my hair is thicker or courser than yours, but I can do real headbangs and shake my head sideways violently without a problem.

My hair is just too slippery. I'm glad that I can get it to stay up at all

Ah, I see. Mine isn't so there's the answer then.

So it seems I managed to "cultivate fungus" in my scalp (sorry for sounding gross) last time I tried to stretch my washes and use brush and combing technique to clean my hair.
I was at least 7 weeks without shampoo and washing my hair once a week.

My dandruff got out of control by week 8 (if I remember correctly), herbal rinses stopped working at some point as well, so I grabbed my SLS free shampoo. That did help.
Since then I have had to use shampoo more often. At least twice a week. My scalp does not agree going too long between washes now Using shampoo makes my hair frizzy, so I have to use thicker conditioner, lots of oils and a leave-in conditioner.

So frustrating, but it is what it is. Thinking of trying out cassia, I do have a bag of cassia left from the days when I used that in my henna mix. It is quite a hassle, but it should be great for the scalp.

Oh, I am absolutely obsessed with Kathrine's channel. I love watching her care for her hair, it's so beautiful and thick.
