Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 265, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 November 1912 — Walnut Hair Dye. [ARTICLE]

Walnut Hair Dye.

The hulls of green walnuts are pounded in a mortar, and the juice expressed by squeezing in a tincture press; mix with rectified spirits until desired shade is obtained. Perfume with oil of cloves; the whole is allowed to stand for a week or two with occasional agitation and the clear solution is eventually decanted; sometimes salt is used to preserve it. This dye stains the scalp and must be used carefully.
