No matter where you do it, it is a massive chore when you have a ton of hair.

Probably because bathrooms have horrible acoustics so filming in the studio would be better on the ears

Thank you! I tried this, and found it to be a bit of a pain, and was wondering if just pouring it in a bowl and dunking my head in backward might ne easier!

I also had "egg dips" as a child. Dunking in a bowl is the way to go

How well did it work?

@@moss_glow it works fine. The wet hair doesn’t have that squeaky clean, just washed feel but once it’s dried it feels just as clean.

Removing egg whites will help. 2 egg yolks will do a good job for long hair. I observed this routine when I was a child. Rinsing hair with a few drops of vinegar (or better with lemon juice) will leave hair very silky.

Such knowledge 😉👍

That was really neat to learn! Thanks for sharing.

That's interesting! I have tried the "scrambled egg" variety of hair care when learning about ethnic healing and beauty procedures of my "country" of origin (North-Eastern Europe). This particular method is likely to have appeared wayyy later then the mystical "ethnic" times though. The easiest way is to beat the egg (or 2) into about 1-2 litres of water in a big bowl (nettle "tea" could be used instead of water, or oak bark "tea", or camomile, some others - concentration and plant "boils down" to the colour of the hair, mainly). The bowl is then placed on the bench/table. Bend down, wash your hair and scalp - a bit like laundry really. Chuck the dirty "shampoo", fill with clear water - rinse and repeat until satisfied. For the last rinse, can use the "tea" or simple water, pouring it over the hair from the jug. If you wanted something fancy, some honey could be added to the "shampoo" or the first rinse (rinses out just fine).

I don't think there were people allergic to egg, all this allergies are a modern problem, we got more and more of them, 'cause we are "too clean"... As far as I know...

Do people have skin allergies to egg?

@@brezzainvernale2750 Even in ancient time allergies existed, maybe it was less common, but peoble clearly happend to be allergic. They just didn't have a name for it, they simply said "this fruit/wegetable/any other thing is harmfull for that person". In some documents (sadly i don't remember what it was, i was reading about that many years ago) they mentioned someone who coudn't eat apples, because it was making that person fall ill. Description was basically same like for allergies. I assume, people who was allergic for eggs, just used clear water, herbal infusions, or soapwort root, which is still used today as an alternative for regular soap or shampoo.

You forget that people were very creative back then, they washed their hair with vinegar, clay...etc

@@brezzainvernale2750 i mean they just did not have names for it, but there are several descriptions like “clams turn my stomach whenever I eat them” “little timmy was taken from us at the tender age of 5 for unknown reasons” People just died instead of getting treatment and that was that.

Or sisters, etc.

But servants had nobody to help them

HeresFrank Betches I’ve read they helped each other.

maudelynn13 Except many households only had ONE servant and most servants on got 1 half day off a week. Sooooooo, no. Plenty of people dressed themselves and did their own personal care unaided.

@@heresfrankbetches921 they didn't have the ankle length hair

That is a great story. The braiding suggestion is very smart. I hated to get my fine hair cut because leaning back into the salon shampoo bowl, as soon as it sort of mixed itself around in the basin with water it tangled terribly - I used to have two stylists one on either side intently combing it out and pulling for long minutes, unpleasant. Thanks Manja for the nicer images.

Thank you for this context! Personal stories like this of how it was actually done are invaluable! I have begun to experiment with using egg yolks as a mask to pre-condition my hair, and found it does wonders for my texture and shine. I haven't tried yet to use them AS the shampoo, but have just used shampoo as usual to wash them out in the shower. I never would have thought of the brandy in mineral water as a final rinse, or of braiding hair to wash it! My own hair is barely to my shoulderblades, so maybe it isn't long enough yet to be an issue for me, but it's so cool to hear how someone with knee-length hair used to cope!

clairestjacques same

I tie up my hair in a bun when I condition and then rinse from the roots first and gradually loosen the bun as I go. My hair goes down to my lower back and is quite thick and I find that if I rinse it while loose, the ends become more frizzy because they get too much rinsing while I'm rinsing the roots.

It would probably have been rosemary tincture, like you get from a herbalist. I use egg as a hair mask prior to washing once every week and a half (so every hair wash). I was taught this by an Indian friend as a child. There's great instructions on using egg as a hair-wash or hair mask on ' the hair Buddha' website. Another Indian lady who looks into traditional Indian hair-care, a lot of which is analogous to things used historically in other countries.

Still doing that today.

@@EmelieWaldken yup....my hair is passed my waist and when it's hair washing day....nothing else happens that they requires leaving the house.

@@Butterflier00 Same here, almost ^^ Hair is mid-thigh length and I count minimum 2 hours for washing it, but effectively more like half a day ;)

UM… If you’re black or have curly hair, washing hair is still a reason to say no to things

To be honest when you've got hair so long that it takes hours to wash it, it might be better to get a few inches cut off (still keep it long) so at least the dead ends are cut off so it maintains good condition. My mother's hair is very long but she has to cut the dead ends off every few months as it just gets too long to manage. Hairdressers say it's important to cut dead and split ends off your hair to help maintain condition. I've always wondered what the average hair length was in Victorian times as women kept it long enough to put their hair up but I wonder if average hair length was past the waist?

I'm willing to bet she brushes it a lot with a boar bristle brush. Doing so distributes the natural oil from the scalp leaving the hair shiny and frizz free. I do this and get the same results. The best hair product is excreted from our own scalps for free.

This is an old post, and I'm not Bernadette, but I have mid-butt-length, straight, extremely thick, shiny, and healthy hair and here's my tips: 1) Quit washing your hair so much. The longer your hair is, the less often you should wash it. Unless I get really dirty for some reason, I wash mine once a month, max. If I get really sweaty, like while working out, I'll just rinse my hair very well in the shower with water as cold as I can stand, not wash it. Washing your hair with shampoo will just strip it of its natural oils, causing dryness, frizziness, static build-up, and breakage. No shampoo is good, IMO. 2) When you do wash your hair, don't do it while you shower. Do it separately over a bathtub (if you have one) or the kitchen sink if you don't have a bathtub. Use water that's as cold as you can stand. The colder the better. (I use ice water infused with lavender, myself.) No, it isn't pleasant, but it makes your hair shiny and softer. 3) If your hair is longer than about shoulder length, invest in some good hair oil that you can leave in. Pure argan or jojoba are my go-tos; some people swear by coconut oil, but I find it clunky to work with, since it's solid at room temperature. Good oil, especially argan, isn't cheap, but it's worth it. If the hair is dry, dampen the bottom half of it or so with water (I use a spray bottle) then apply the oil to the damp part of your hair, making sure to work it through evenly down to the ends. This helps to retain moisture in the older part of the hair. Do this about once a week and/or whenever you rinse or wash your hair. 4) For actually washing your hair, try to give up commercial shampoo and conditioner. There are plenty of easy alternatives. As a bonus, they are cheaper, as well. Usually, for my length of hair, I put a few tablespoons of baking powder on my scalp after wetting the hair, work it through evenly down to the ends, then rinse thoroughly. The baking powder absorbs excess oil without stripping it like shampoo does. I follow this with an apple cider vinegar rinse. I pour a cup or two of undiluted vinegar on my hair, work it through, then rinse well to get rid of any vinegar smell. The vinegar balances pH (since baking powder is alkaline and the vinegar is acidic) and closes the hair cuticle, making the hair strands more resistant to breakage. Also, once a month or so, I do a mayonnaise treatment. (Mayo = eggs, oil, and vinegar, all good for your hair.) Just work enough regular mayo to evenly coat your hair through your hair, let it sit for a while (I usually leave it for about an hour), then rinse very well with cold water. A plain egg treatment like in this video is good especially if your hair is very damaged (by coloring, perming, using a ton of styling product, overuse of hot air dryers, etc.) because it's a massive protein dump which will make your hair strands thicker and smoother, so you get more volume and natural poof without frizz. I did this when I colored my hair, doing an egg treatment every other week or so, but I didn't dilute the egg like in this video because that's just messier. I just worked a few raw, whisked eggs through my hair and then rinsed with ice water. If you like your hair to smell nice, work through a few drops of essential oil in whatever scent you like when you're done with your wash regimen. (I'm a lavender girl, myself.) 5) Do not use hot-air hair dryers or curling irons or anything with heat. When I wash my hair, I do it in the early evening, so that my hair is dry by the next morning. If you have to use a hair dryer, use only cool air. If you absolutely must put hot things in/on your hair, do it as sparingly as possible. It's *extremely* damaging, especially to very long hair where the strands can be quite old. Personally, if I want some curl, I just use old-fashioned pink foam rollers while my hair is drying. (I use my mother's, in fact, so I guess they're vintage since I myself am in my 50s.) They're smooshy, so I can sleep on them. 6) Fully comb (not brush!) your hair often, at least twice a day. The oilier your scalp is, the more often you should comb. Use as fine a comb as will get through your hair. This helps to distribute the natural oil that your scalp secretes through your hair (so you don't get the greasy look between washings) and also helps if you tend to have an itchy scalp, as the itch is usually caused by oil build-up on the scalp. Comb slowly carefully, without tugging. Yanking on your hair isn't good for it, of course. 7) Hair spray, mousse, gel, etc. bad for many different reasons. Avoid. Try out hairstyles that don't require any of it. Of course, you'll have more options if your hair is longer. I love braiding, myself.

@@memyselfandi4173 you're a legend, thank you

@@memyselfandi4173 I grew up with super long hair, my longest reaching to my knees. And when I was younger my family wasn’t rich. So my hair care routine was super simple, even “poor” by my standards today, yet my hair grew SO fast, was super thick and soft. It still is today, even with my still relatively simple yet slightly upgraded routine. All I do when washing is use any shampoo (lately I favor rose scented ones or ones with tea tree oil), only use conditioner on the ends of my hair and gently rub in. Afterwards, I NEVER brush wet hair. All I do now is let it air dry and comb my part in the way I want it. Once dry I brush carefully from the ends up, the proper hair brushing technique I learned in my CNA class. I only brush my hair after I take showers (or when I feel like I look messy) and I shower every other day 🤷🏻‍♀️ But I have noticed my scalp does get oily fast so maybe I’ll try washing my hair in colder water… And I don’t style my hair much… I just use scrunchies and head bands, or braid it. I never use hair dryers, curlers, or anything with heat these days. I don’t use hair oils or vitamins or anything really. I did try vitamins a few months ago but saw no difference or improvement. And I’ve never dyed my hair or used any chemicals. My hair is a total virgin in that department. Just the bare shampoo and condition with proper brushing after. During my younger years I used literal dollar store soaps cause it was too expensive for my family to use “fancy” soaps, and we usually would all use the same kind, but today I can afford to have for myself my own soaps. I usually use Dove, or Herbel Essence. And with that simple routine my hair remains (natural) straight, thicc, soft, free of split ends, and continues to grow happily (I actually cut it short above my shoulders around November last year so I had to adjust to short-hair life). Though now that I think about it, this good hair luck could be aided by my genetics, so maybe me sharing all this doesn’t matter. (I am Hispanic so I’d know firsthand that we can tend to be hairy, w/ thick hair.) Also, this routine of mine is based on my “poor person budget” lifestyle growing up, so of course maybe other people can afford expensive care and do a ton of steps like you do and acquire the same or most likely *better* results. But this has just worked for me over my lifetime and earned me lots of positive comments and admirers for my hair. 😊 Edit: imma add that nowadays, compared to my early youth, my hair has changed, perhaps just naturally but perhaps what I’d like to think is a result of my upgraded routine. My hair is now darker, but I do have natural light brown or even red hairs here and there. I’ve seen a significant decrease in split ends (as a kid my mom would curl my hair A LOT). The strands itself as a majority are thick and strong, but I don’t have as much hair as I did as a kid, if that makes sense. And it’s very soft and still abundant in baby hairs.

I have very long hair that have not been cut in 4 years. It's very thick and in very good health. I don't dry it with a hair dryer, ever. I use whatever leftover shampoo I have from working in a hotel, I wash them every other day (this really depends on you, some people can wait a month, some can't), I also use whatever conditioner I have. Sometimes when it's dry, I put oils in there to help brushing. I don't use a special brush, just a big plastic one with pins.

I'd always heard it doesn't smell. One just combs a bit of beer through and then pins it.

@@michaelheath5615 I dunno, my mom said it stank, I never did it so I can't confirm nor deny the claim

@@TheLurkerFox It pretty much stops smelling once it's dried up. Also, different types of beer have very different composisions, if you use a malty one, that will probably make it more "firm" and smell of molasses than an IPA that will give it a more hoppy, beer-like smell. Tried it out a long time ago, need to experiment with it again...

@@NevenOfSine oooh I see! Thank you for the information!

I used beer as curl set as a teen in the 60s. No smell once dry. This was setting on juice cans trying to get Cher style hair.

If done right, this excuse can still be used today lol

not when when you have curly hair lol.

It still is! At least for me. But I only wash my curly hair once per week. So the wash and style routine is a bit involved. From start (prepoo) to finish (juicy, popping, well defined curls that are dry) it takes me 5 hours.

Which is why I’m growing mine out...

Hahaha same

Oh yes. I just cut my own hair when it was almost long enough to do this. Damn! But Bernadette looks lovely. #hair goals

"you never do this alone", as someone who lives without running water for about half of the week on average, you can most certainly do this alone! If using normal shampoo you can boil some water on the stove and pour half of it into a bucket with some cold water (save the other half for rinsing), if using egg, cold water only! You can then sit in your non-functional shower, bathtub, or tub thingy and lean over the bucket. Grab a cup or pitcher so that you can have "running water" and rinse your hair over the bucket so as not to waste any of it. It takes practise and some getting used to, but it does give you a good arm exercise!

I was thinking about pitchers. I’ve used big plastic pitchers to rinse my hair when I have to wash my hair in the sink. Also, the “ cooked egg” in your hair was probably a bit of the embryal sac. Next time ( if there is a next time) pull that bit off before you start mixing the egg. It’s pretty visible.

In Vietnam, I lived in the countryside for a month and had to wash my hair using a big bin and a pitcher. Totally right with that team effort statement, although it is doable alone, having another person really quickens the process. Had to wash with cold water because I was too lazy to boil the water but regardless when I came back to the US, my hair was longer and stronger than ever haha.

I was actually about to describe almost exactly the same routine. I was taught it by my grandmother (born 1913 in southern Sweden) who was taught it by hers. It's excellent!

My grandma taught me that as well, except withouth the vinegar part.

😊😊😊😊😊

What kind of vinegar do you use?

My grandma also did something similar, but she mixed the egg with beer. She didn't use it as shampoo, but as sort of a hair mask, though. Leaves the hair nice and shiny. But you may also smell like you came straight from the local pub afterwards. 😅

I saw and another comment that said to strain the mixture so there wont be clumps!

I've done this! I've tried just about every "natural" hair mask on the internet lol You definitely need to rinse with cold cold water to avoid the scramble but it does make your hair really soft!

If you do, use cold water. Not just water that feels "comfortably cool" - because that is still not cold enough. Source: Tried a similar hairmask. Can't recommend.

I do super short ice cold showers daily so I am tempted.

I am totally thinking of doing this, but with the aid of a shower, and apparently really cold water.

That totally makes sense. Cordial or liqueur...same process as steeping vanilla extract.

could also be from steam distillation - a science teacher showed me her still setup recently, that she uses to steam distill things like lemon myrtle for cooking and making cosmetics

I remember my grandmother's rat keeper. It was porcelin, painted with a silver top. By the time I was born she was no longer keeping hair in it...but she kept it...or at least that's the story my mother told.

@@melissal9184 Yes, even online you can find some, they're quite lovely but my whole family would think I'm a weirdo if I had one😅

My grandma had a receiver on her dresser, but didn't use it by the time I was around (if she ever had; she liked functional antiques but didn't always use them). Many years later, I made and used several hair rats to help my shoulder length hair achieve something closer to the 1860s styles. Despite shedding more than a dog, I still had to add some brown wool to the center of my rats to add volume, and I had been saving my hair (in baggies 🤮) for almost a year! I must have been antique shopping at the wrong times, because unlike the beautiful one I remembered from my childhood, I only ever found one hideous Bakelite receiver the color of stale urine, and somehow replacing a bag of hair with a canister that brought to mind the worst kind of icicle just seemed like a poor exchange.

*Be* the comeback you wish to see in the world! 💕

My aunt has worn her hair like this for years. It is quite the look.

Fund fact - in England it was called a ‘cottage bun’ hairdo! 🥰
