Secrets of hair beauty in ancient Egypt. It's interesting to know what kind of recipes of hair care were popular in the past. Nowadays, of course, no one dyes his hair with animal blood and crushed tadpoles, however, among the beauty recipes of ancient Egyptians you can possibly find something useful. For example, Ancient Egyptians had a way to wash their hair with a mix of water and citric juices. The citric acid dissolves the fatty oils from the hair and leaves the follicle sealed. Since 4,000 years before the Christian Age, the henna was the most common dye. After 1500 BC Ancient Egyptians started to use wigs of vivid colors, like blue, red or green. But over time, the hair began to be considered a sign of barbarism, and the Egyptians began to shave their beards, head and even the body. Stubble turned into a sign of the low social status.
