When I read this recipe for a Victorian Era hair straightner, not only images of attempting to get this mixture out of my hair surfaced, but I could even imagine the smell of it. I'm not sure about you, but I'd rather live with wavy, kinky or curly hair! After all, they were big on barrettes and bonnets too!
Ingredients:
1 lb. beef suet
2 oz. yellow wax
2 oz. castor oil
12 grains of benzoic acid
30 drops of lemon oil
5 drips of cinnamon oil
Place the wax and suet in a double boiler and melt, then add the castor oil and the benzoic acid. Mix and remove from heat. Allow to cool and then add the oils. Blend all ingredients well and rub a small amount into the hair twice a day. Massage with the fingertips and this preparation should make kinky hair straight and allow it to lie flat.
