FOR
THICKENING
THE
HAIR.--To
one
ounce
of
Palma
Christi
oil,
add
a
sufficient
quantity
of
bergamot
or
lavender
to
scent
it.
Apply
it
to
the
parts
where
it
is
most
needed,
brushing
it
well
into
the
hair.
AN
OINTMENT
FOR
THE
HAIR.--Mix
two
ounces
of
bear's
grease,
half
an
ounce
of
honey,
one
drachm
of
laudanum,
three
drachms
of
the
powder
of
southernwood,
three
drachms
of
the
balsam
of
Peru,
one
and
a
half
drachms
of
the
ashes
of
the
roots
of
bulrushes,
and
a
small
quantity
of
the
oil
of
sweet
almonds.
MACASSAR
OIL.--It
is
said
to
be
compounded
of
the
following
ingredients:--To
three
quarts
of
common
oil,
add
half-a-pint
of
spirits
of
wine,
three
ounces
of
cinnamon
powder,
and
two
ounces
of
bergamot;
heat
the
whole
in
a
large
pipkin.
On
removing
from
the
fire,
add
three
or
four
small
pieces
of
alkanet
root,
and
keep
the
vessel
closely
covered
for
several
hours.
When
cool,
it
may
be
filtered
through
a
funnel
lined
with
filtering
paper.
Whether
oils
are
used
or
not,
the
hair
ought
night
and
morning
to
be
carefully
and
elaborately
brushed.
This
is
one
of
the
best
preservatives
of
its
beauty.
The
following
is
recommended
as
an
excellent
Hair
Oil:--Boil
together
half-a-pint
of
port
wine,
one
pint
and
a-half
of
sweet
oil,
and
half-a-pound
of
green
southernwood.
Strain
the
mixture
through
a
linen
rag
several
times;
adding,
at
the
last
operation,
two
ounces
of
bear's
grease.
If
fresh
southernwood
is
added
each
time
it
passes
through
the
linen,
the
composition
will
be
improved.
