Following a Victorian Home Made Hair Care Routine (1889) 

Y E S

Thank you for writing this. You should pin this comment; I find it greatly reassuring that you conferred with a chemist before trying all this.

Where may I send you a proper corkscrew? ^_^"

Also remember that baking soda can absorb odors, so having some in areas that have no windows might help keep smells to a minimum. Loved this video! Have you ever done hairstyles/dress/attire from 1793? I’m currently reading a book set in this time and I’m trying to understand their attire. The internet is never quite as accurate as you are! :)

Also wanted to mention that pharmacists today still use a similar measuring instrument in order to measure out more viscous medications!

So can I use the same excuse when I stagger home in the early hours of Sunday morning, Marge?

Nor a funnel

Was just gonna make the same joke but got there very late, obviously! :D

I was actually shocked she doesn't own one. I hope she will buy one to avoid future wine disasters lmao

Or a regular kitchen scale

@@cleliaoconnell3705 she has said in a previous video that she doesn’t drink so there isn’t really a necessity for a corkscrew

It’s the sassy Victorian way of saying, “How unpleasantly distasteful and ungrateful.”

“If you do this, you a hoe… but this is how you do it.”

Production, sale and posession of crystal methamphetamine is illegal and punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment For crystal meth you will need:…

Having dealt with disabilities as well, even the most compassionate of family members sometimes get fatigued, and it feels awful to be the person causing it. That advice seems to be so much more compassionate even than what we're told today. Especially when doctors tell you to cure your pain with exercise when you can't even get out bed because of the pain.

Virginia Woolf’s mom, Julia Jackson, was a skilled lay nurse and wrote an entire book on this subject. Her tone is similar.

Big 🫂 hugs

Class would've been a big issue here. The upper class - the ones most likely to afford books and cosmetics - would've been able to make these considerations. There's also the fact that the British upper class have always been (and still are ngl) *obsessed* with appearances. So long as they look to be the graceful benevolent overlord anything goes. Someone in a workhouse though? Or in service to their betters? Honestly I wouldn't like to say. It's a sweet but dangerous notion that this gentle caring tone would've been applicable to everyone. The way modern society treats disabled people is disgusting but don't let the idea that you would've been better off back then get to you, it's not really true.

@@K_i_t_t_y84 Honestly, divorce him. You deserve to be treated with as much compassion and care as you treat others.

Well...you can't un-spilled milk. The deed was already done.

In my experience, giving advice to one who is already drunk is as useful as pouring water onto a duck.

@@Eloraurora sewstine is also a doctor (anesthesiologist specifically), so the recommendation to drink water is from a highly knowledgeable source!

good to know and i love your pfp :3

Most modern rose varieties you find at the florist won't have much of the fragrance older cultivars would have had. That's another reason not to use florist roses.

"Noo!" I gasped. As someone who must have short hair, I am extremely envious.

I was largely split ends and untidy pieces, which only start to appear when your hair is that long and you can see how long hair on some parts of your head get before breaking on their own weight or falling out. Most people for quite a while barely have enough hair to say it’s floor length when it does hit the floor.

I don’t even have the longest hair (slightly longer then shoulders) but I ask for 2 inches off when I get my hair cut. Even though it makes my hair so much shorter it reallr isn’t that much off for hair. I can imagine for even longer hair even if the cut piece is longer it won’t make too much of a difference.

I'm teetotal, but when I worked in Wardrobe at a theatre, one of my jobs after the show was to spritz pure vodka (a pure, natural alcohol) on the inside of costumes that wouldn't be going to the cleaners that night. I'd roam the corridors, in my own little cloud of alcohol fumes. I still spritz vodka on the insides of my own clothes after wearing them. It kills the odour-causing bacteria, without the harsh chemicals and strong perfume of Febreze. Vodka is also an excellent mild solvent for blending and diluting the alcohol-based inks I use to hand-colour the stones in my tiaras. (I have a collection of more than 400 tiaras, mostly replicas of historical royal & aristocratic tiaras.)

@@OofusTwillip Can you use rubbing alcohol? Don't want to waste the vodka...lol

Gods, that would be the crossover of a lifetime

@@sarahbb7227 rubbing alcohol contains an additive and leaves sort of an oily residue. Might be able to use denatured alcohol but vodka or everclear would be cheaper

I would LOVE to see Bernadette drunk of of drinking, not just fumes. I think that would be hilarious😂 i also dont think it happens often.

Maybe also from the shade thrown in the intro to the hair dye!

Gave me Crowley vibes

¨Iḿ a wine scientist¨ As mentioned above and to educate readers: Modern¨Wine¨ is filled glyphosate (roundup) and harmful chemicals, unless organic.

My goodness!!! A bottle of Bordeau butchered with a screwdriver then used for a simple hair care routine ! They must have been damn rich to waste good wine in the Victorian era ? Anyway but I'm not so sure that all the products used are perfectly healthy ... without being pessimistic they had weird methods the victorian English to wash your hair ....

​@@Jofjcrjpeople drank alcohol and tea like it was water, so it was probably cheaper back then.

I drink wine maybe 3x a year and that bit hurt MY heart.

Same but because i lived with people who never cleaned their cats litter boxes

me, a chemistry major whose olfactory system is stubbornly sensitive and now is simply EXTRA sensitive to the smell of ammonia and alcohol: WHY would you put that in your hair???

Me, a pharmacy and cosmetics major watching the ingredients of this "diy dye": oh no

@@zamiaramirez1390 ah fuq🤢🤮🤢. My olfactory system peaced out 15 months ago with Covid-19 and never came back.

@@susanachavez3783 pharmacy and cosmetics? What university offers that? I can see a chemistry program offering cosmetic classes.

Right?! And if the latter, one must always have a proper wine opener in one's possession! It's a must!! .... lol.

I'd have been the same haha

Nah, it was all intentional to reeeeaaally show off her sponsor!

Wait...that makes sens- I mean HERESY! Call a commissar quick! Obvs was just joking but it definitely was a great sponsor pairing with the subject at hand (pun intended) 🤣

Exactly

Had me cryinnnnnnngggggg

Oh yeah!

That was exactly my thoughts as well.....potassium carbonate and ammonia....

Yesssss 🤣🤣🤣

I was also a child of the 80s and I will never forget that fragrance

As an addendum: they do not recommend using ferric sulfate (iron sulfate) for dyeing your hair as it's highly acidic and that can cause problems!

Also, most oak gall dyes call for iron as the mordant. It makes the dye dark grey/black rather than lightly tan from just the high level of tannins. The other reason to use the pipkin rather than a pot is that cooper pots were common then, and I have no idea how that might change the dye. I am not a chemist, just a natural dye enthusiast.

Yikes! I think I would shortly be bald!!!

That's so metal

I don't know why, but "crashing out of solution" made me chuckle

I love this info!!!

Rosemary spirit is also available at lots of regular supermarkets

Yeah I've been learning some plant medicine and when she added essential oils I was concerned. I've gotten rosemary essential oil in my eye once in the shower because I put some drops on the wall for the smell and then accidentally touched the wall and then my face and it BURNED. Learned that milk is a good way to wash oil based irritants out of the eyes pretty quickly as I stumbled out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel trying to google solutions on my phone with very blurry vision, and I've never been happier that my family drinks milk. Though pouring cold milk on your eyes is also uncomfortable. I recommend adding a bit of hot water so it's more lukewarm and less of a shock to already irritated eyes

@@alexoneil594 I am so glad you shared all of this information already! For anyone wanting to know why milk saves skin or eyes from the burning sensation of essential oils... All oils are acids, primarily made up of essential fatty acids. Despite the fat content of milk, the calcium is still more alkaline (base), so the milk neutralizes the acid in the essential oils (also works for the acids that increase the heat in chiles and peppers).

I'm curious, why do you have to learn it? Is there some circumstance during which you may need it?

​@@toomanyopinions8353suppose the measuremts are more precise and less fiddly compared to modern measuring. It's like how you will not find a scientist in a lab using volume measurements

Why the bold font?

@@blakksheep736 probably because they wanted people to see it and pay attention

There was no rosewater in the hair dye; it was made from red wine, iron sulfate and oak galls.

@@ragnkja they were talking about the curl stuff with the almond oil lmao

Many homes still had a still room for preparing medicines and cosmetics. A little still for distilling non-hybridised roses will yield an amazingly scented attar of roses.

You could also go the whole nine yards and use an alembic

Is nice to add a teaspoon of borax to a pint or two of water for hair washing?

@@BE74297 Be careful with borax. We used only a few sprinkles to clean chemistry glassware with tons of water. I don't know about it being used outside of our chem lab, but I'd imagine that it would really damage your hair and irritate skin if it's not all rinsed out properly

Your hair isn't caked with natural oil at all? It's not itchy, feels notably oily, or heavy? My hair gets horribly oily in a day and nothing helps with the itchiness of certain spots of my scalp, or keeping it relatively clean longer. (I've tried many different shampoos. Conditioner isn't helping either.) I'm honestly surprised that you can use no product on your hair all at and it's still silky smooth.

No one flinches when they watch islanders and aborigines eating a turtle. There were a lot more of them around and Europeans could purchase them. I wouldn’t but raised in a different era. Wouldn’t eat frogs either.

@@luadraponies I don't think the point here was shock over eating a turtle. I think it's more that the step "add a turtle" is vague and doesn't say in any way how the turtle is to be added.

@@evearellie a lot of prior knowledge is assumed in old recipes, even some from not so long ago.

Seeing people drink it is the reason I moved out

My mother (we're American) got it to make vanilla extract but because she's a psychopath she now keeps it on hand and does shots of it for fun. When I was younger she had me do a shot of it to kill a strep infection in my throat. I cried and nearly vomited but after all the burning my throat went numb and the next day the strep was pretty much gone.

I collect vintage beauty-trade magazines. One of them has an article about the extremely lucrative market for beauty services for corpses in open caskets. It explains the specialized methods used, and that, since you're only doing the front and sides, you get paid in full for only doing 3/4 of a style, plus a bonus for the "distastefulness" of working with corpses.

@@bernadettebanner maybe not the public you expect but the tiepods kids are still around

Tbf the victorians probably did the same thing so she's simply being historically accurate

@@AirQuotes oh, absolutely, but the Victorians also made dresses and wallpaper out of arsenic, and hats with mercury (which was more a problem for the hatters than wearers, but still), so safety and historical accuracy do not necessarily go hand in hand, and the experiment is for the end product, not the dangerosity of making it, hence why using modern safety gear like gloves and proper eyewear would not eschew the experiment. And even so, the victorians may have used scales and more than one measuring cup, or none at all if they bought the correct amount for all, or used spoons to not touch any ingredient with their hands, or have worn leather gloves or the like, or have done everything outside (on their roof, in the garden, etc) or in a specialized ventilated room (such as our modern day bathrooms and kitchens, only less mechanized), so there would be no definite way to say that all victorians did it this way. I trust Ms. Banner did the appropriate research on each ingredient, and the end product does not seem dangerous hence why she chose these recepies, but it is always better to lean on the safety side, both to cultivate good habits, and in the case of an unexpected reaction, such as the bubbling shown in this very same video. In her comment she did say that modern day chemists have approved of these recipes as safe and all, so the gas formed must not have been dangerous, but what I have been taught, and what I think must always be taught, is to use the maximum safety and precaution for each and every element of labwork that one does. If one cannot handle safe products with all the proper safety procedures, then one cannot be trusted with actual harmful products. Not only is is better to remember the procedures for when one might need them, but it also ensures that it becomes an automatic response. That way, one doesn't wonder if one should have worn gloves during, or after the handling of the product, but before, and then would have done the research for which material of gloves to use, long before actually reaching for the product. even if said product is salt, and you know full well that you do not need gloves to handle it. so the reason why I cringe isn't that I think she is truly in danger, but because such habits put in one of my lab classes, even if it's just measuring salt, putting it in water, and the heating it up to a certain temperature, would get me kicked out. No questions asked. being physically present in the lab, without my hair tied, my white coat, and safety glasses, even if there are no experiments being done yet, would get me kicked out. It would be like using the wrong stich for a certain seam. It would hold the two pieces of clothing together, and some victorians might have used it, but one can easily tell that the stich is not the best for this particular seam because if wouldn't handle the strain or something. so not wrong, but you kinda want to go "no, we do not do it that way because (...)", but also kind of bracing for a stern word from a superior at the same time. like when you expect to be yelled at when you reach for the cookies between meals even though your parents aren't home and you are a full grown adult who lives alone. It's a bit hard to explain, but I tried my best.

What a lovely connection to have made!

My Mother tried pin curls on me a few times because that's what her mother did with her hair so I'm jealous! My mothers mother was born in 1927 so very thoroughly 40's in a lot of her habits. (My ancestry is very mixed but none of them were in England during that time although some were in the Netherlands and Ireland. My paternal grandmother however, was born in 1914 and her mother was nearly 40 when she had her sona lot of that Victorian and Edwardian sensibility was evident. My great grandmother was around the same age as yours. My grandmother passed when I was a year old but my Dad was brought up very "old-fashioned". His Dad's 4 sisters were all born from 1890-1910 and they too were rather old-fashioned. Some of the phrases he uses or the way he does things are so odd and when I ask why he did that or where that word came from it's usually "It's how my Aunt _____ did it and how I was taught to do it." Or "it's just something my mother used to say..." I have a few family heirlooms from that time including numerous monogrammed silver spoons and glass vanity jar with a brass, screw-on lid and it still holds a pair of my grandmother's gold diamond stud screw back earrings. Bernadette's aesthetic always makes me think of my grandmother's childhood photos and her mother's photos. It's lovely ☺️

@@emilypresleysee I set my phone to record while my grandmother and I looked through the family photo album. It is such a treasure to have. My grandmother passed away last year at 103. I wish I had recorded more of her stories.

I love hearing/reading about others’ family history!! I actually just found a family photo album that my great great grandmother kept that has family photos from her childhood in the 1800s and I wish my nan was able to tell me more about it. A lot of the history died with my great great grandmother unfortunately, and not all the photos are labeled.

@@lizabee484 At least you got the album! Maybe check around for cousins. I found a cousin who's granny was in her 90s, and she recognized about 18 people in a group of 20. I had no idea who most of them were. But now I have a copy of that picture with all their names attached to them. It's priceless!

Plus a mask and some gloves. Somehow, I doubt these will be her only experiments now she's got the kit.
