Let me ask how difficult it is to wash the long hair of women in ancient times?

The answer is that ancient people paid more attention to washing their hair than we do, because bathing is the meaning of washing hair.

I don't know if my friends who often like to watch costume dramas will look at the protagonist's hair and often wonder, how did the ancients wash their hair? How long? Wouldn't it be so elegant without washing your hair? Don't worry. Today, I will take you to learn about the shampoo culture of the ancients.

Did the ancients wash their hair.

The answer is yes. The ancients were very fond of their hair. Every time they went out, they would comb their hair, comb their hair, and put their severed hair together.

The ancients often said "bathing", "bathing" means washing hair, and "bathing" means washing the body. "Like a spring breeze" is like washing your hair with a spring breeze.

It can be seen that the ancients not only washed their hair, but also attached great importance to it.

What did the ancients use to wash their hair.

Plant ash is the simplest and most widely used plant ash. It can be used for straw shampooing and straw burning. It is the first choice for civilian families.

On the one hand, because it contains potassium carbonate, it reacts with oil (greasy head); On the other hand, it is similar to activated charcoal and has the effect of adsorbing dirt.

As a plant of the genus Mallow species, hibiscus leaves are distributed in the southern and southwestern regions of China. It creates a lot of lather in shampoo and has a good oil-removing effect. Similar in principle to honey locust.

But what people don't like about soaphorn is that it has a pungent smell, while hibiscus leaves make people feel comfortable and aromatic.

Rice soup and noodle soup are also very effective because they are said to have the effects of beauty, beauty, and black hair, and some people still use them. I don't know if I've used it. Interested readers can try it for themselves.

Honey locust is a natural plant. Compared to other plants, it was more formal and had a wider range of use, so it could be used in small bazaars**, just like today's snack bar**soaps**.

How often did the ancients wash their hair.

As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the ancients formed the habit of washing their hair every three days and bathing every five days. Therefore, there is a day off every five days, which is also known as a "break". It is specially used to let ** go home to wash his hair and take a shower.

But in fact, in fact, in the view, even historical materials may only reflect the lives of people in the upper echelons of society such as ** and the rich.

For most low-level workers, in order to survive, they should not have so much energy to dress up, especially those men who need to farm. What's more, how long was the period of peace and prosperity in ancient times? Most of them are in times of war and chaos.

In front of the common people who are fighting for survival, personal hygiene is not so important. This is one of the reasons why the more chaotic the war, the more rampant the plague becomes.

I rarely wash my hair, because the awareness of hygiene was not so high at that time. The basis is the braids of the Qing Dynasty, at that time the cost of washing braids was too high, only high-ranking officials and nobles could wash it often, and the common people did not wash their hair for a long time.

Personally, I think that the ancients rarely washed their hair. The ancients generally used eggs to wash their hair, but in poor homes, eggs are not only used to wash their hair, but they are also a luxury to eat.

I think the ancients didn't wash their hair very often, because of these.

How often did the ancients wash their hair. As recorded in the Book of Rites, the frequency of aristocrats and commoners washing their hair during the Qin and Han dynasties was about 3 days. Now this shampoo is not as frequent, but it is very different from only washing it three times a year.

In addition, "Historical Records of the Lu Zhou Gong Family" records that "I wash my hair three times, spit food three times in one meal, and wait for Xiucai, I am afraid of losing the saint in the world." ”

The ancients did not have shampoo. What do they use to wash their hair? They use all-natural and non-polluting things, such as "soaphorn" and "pig ling" with a little spice.

But it is only for the wealthy. So what do ordinary people use? Of course, there are some.

The ancients used "rice washing water". Wash your hair with rice water to make your hair smoother.

Of course, if you can afford rice, there are also people who wash their hair with hibiscus. According to the Jiayou Collection of Materia Medica, the Song Dynasty invented "Wufei, flax, leopard bones, black sheep dung, and eggs". In addition, the washing of hair by the ancients also depended on their own wishes.

Some people really don't like bathing and washing their hair, such as Wang Anshi and Ji Kang.

Yes, I rarely wash my hair, because people at that time lacked water resources, and did not pay attention to their grooming, and washed their hair with clean water, they couldn't make any laughs at all, they needed to wash it often, and their daily life was very busy, so they didn't wash their hair.

The ancients, both men and women, attached great importance to their hair, so what did the ancients use to wash their hair?

Ancient people generally used rice water to wash their hair due to the lack of water resources, and rice water has a lot of nutrients for the hair, which can make the hair smooth, so the hair of the ancient people is generally very good.

In ancient times, people washed their hair with plant ash, rice washing water or soap horn. In ancient times, there was less pollution, and the shampoos of the ancients were natural, and they also liked to use hair oil, so the hair would be so good.

In ancient times, the "shampoo" had rice water, soap horn and Zhu Ling, ordinary people generally used soap horn, and the expensive Zhu Ling was used by the rich and noble. These kinds of alkaline substances can take good care of the hair, and at the same time, the ancient people developed the habit of washing their hair every three days, and the hair was naturally not bad.

The ancients attached great importance to hair and then paid attention to washing hair, and shampooing soaphorn with water soaked in soaphorn has the effect of removing pollution and nourishing hair.

Ancient people used shampoo to wash their hair, but their shampoos were made of traditional Chinese medicine, and their hair grew well because the shampoo was good.

In ancient times, there was no current shampoo, but they had a natural "shampoo" The most used by the ancients was soap, put the soaked soap soap in the basin with water, rub it repeatedly, or directly smash it with a hard object and filter it, and the remaining liquid is a natural shampoo.

Because the tofu will be fixed with alkali, the tofu water contains alkali components, which can play a role in relieving itching and washing.

After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, soap became popular in society, and of course it was the royal nobles who were the first to enjoy these things. The palace soap is more exquisite, and the Guangxu Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi used special soap. Other items used by nobles to wash their hair included soaphorn or pig ling, plant ash, and bath beans.

Add some spices to the porcelain, and the hair will exude a relatively strong aroma after use.

In ancient times, when there was no shampoo, long-haired girls used rice washing water to wash their hair. The hair is washed and shiny. So now rice washing shampoo is also a very common and very easy to use.

Shampoo is also the product of the processing of raw materials for shampoos, so the ancients directly washed their hair with raw materials, such as soaphorn. Then you can wash your hair with plant ash and rice water, which is still in use to make your hair smooth and elastic.
