Erasmus Wilson's Hair Wash

Take:

  • 1/2 oz Rectified spirit
  • 1 oz Honey water
  • 1 oz Spirit of rosemary
  • 1 oz Strong solution of ammonia
  • 1 oz Nut oil
  • 8 oz Distilled water


 Mix. This wash differs from most others of the same nature, in that it does not separate for some time.

Pomade Victoria

This highly-praised and excellent pomade is made in the following way and if so  made, will be found to give a beautiful gloss and softness to the hair:

Quarter of a-pound of honey and half-an- ounce of bees' wax simmered together for a few minutes and then strain.

Add of oil of almonds, lavender, and  thyme, half-a-drachm each.

Be sure to continue stirring  till quite cold, or the honey and wax will separate.
