For the Hair.

Here’s another suggestion for a dry shampoo. Part the hair into separate strapds, then brush in a mixture of corumeal and orris root, equal parts. Get the powder thoroughly/rubbed into the hair, allowing it to remain there for an hour or so. It may then be brushed out with long, even strokes, holding the body of the brush in the palm of the hand to give force. This keeps the hair from becoming too oily in hot weather, as the head is likely to perspire and cause oiliness.
