Washing hair -- quotes from old books
How often did people really wash their hair in, say, Victorian times? Here are the answers and quotes from the nineteen century books.
Hurray, there is an indication, a proof in the old book. For instance, 'Hints on Health' published in 1852, says that washing “once a week could scarcely be deemed too troublesome” (pg. 121).

Wealthy people washed their hair more often (having to go out and appear more beautiful).
There are more books and more quotes to show what people washed with.
"Many heads of hair require nothing more in the way of wash than soap and water” – pg. 317, Decorum (published 1879).
“To cleanse the hair, there is nothing better than soap and water . . . the soap, of course, should be mild, and well and plentifully rubbed in, and afterwards thoroughly removed with an abundance of water” – pg. 121, Hints on Health(published 1852).
“Vinegar and water form a good wash for the roots of the hair” – pg. 316, Decorum (published 1879).
“Any preparation of rosemary forms an agreeable and highly cleansing wash” – pg. 317, Decorum (1879).
“New England rum, constantly used to wash the hair, keeps it very clean, and free from disease, and promotes its growth a great deal more than Macassar oil. Brandy is very strengthening to the roots of the hair; but it has a hot, drying tendency, which N.E. rum has not” – pg. 12 The American Frugal Housewife (published 1833).
Oatmeal flour in cold water turns into porridge, mint adds flavour
Just found out some simple facts about food and cooking.
Mint (the herb).
While I was cooking wheat porridge, some tiny pieces of dried mint got into it and added the natural flavour. So I had wheat porridge with mint taste.
Oatmeal flour
I poured cold (unheated) water into the oatmeal flour and left it for the night. In the morning the mass was kind of thiсker, the slight astringency of fresh oat flour disappeared, it became just like porridge. (In fact, it is not necessary to wait several hours, perhaps half an hour will do.)
То, что я узнала в процессе приготовления еды.
Мята (трава)
Как-то готовила пшеничную кашу, и туда попали кучочки сушеной мяты. Получилась каша с мятным вкусом, натурально ароматизированная.
Овсяная мука
Залила овсяную муку холодной водой и оставила на ночь, утром она была погуще и стала как каша и на вкус: исчез терпкий привкус. (Необязательно ждать несколько часов, получаса может быть достаточно).
