Post Apocalyptic Hair Doo Update By Marjory Wildcraft

Do you recall the video I did on the problem of taking care of your hair after apocalypse?In that video I showed that even if you know how to make soap, you won’t be using it.If you missed that earlier post – here is the link see it again.

So I am still on the search for ways of taking care of your hair without using soap.And as I promised, I’ve been experimenting with various homemade shampoos and I have an update for you.Thanks so much to Nancy B. who sent along the links and information for the following recipe, which originated from the folks over at www.longhairloom.com

1 raw egg

1 raw egg yolk

1 teaspoon honey

juice of 1 lemon

Beat the eggs and honey together really, really well (so the lemon doesn’t flock the eggs), and then add the lemon juice.You’ll get a sloppy liquid, which you massage into your wet hair.Let it sit for about five minutes so the lecithin in the eggs can do their work, and then rinse.

Oh, fabulous shine!

I only need to wash my hair about once per week with this method.

Now this recipe still has the fatal flaw in that is uses ingredients that will be much more valuable as food – when you are starving you will much rather eat those eggs than put them on your hair.And those of us with sweet teeth would cringe at the thought of the honey being wasted on beauty.

But while times are good and a teaspoon of honey is no big deal, I have to say that I loved the results.

Most of you heard me confess on Jack Spriko’s podcast that I am intimidated by the shampoo isle in the supermarket – too many choices!That isle is totally overwhelming to me.So while I am still working on the ultimate collapse proof recipe for us to use, this one will at least keep you out of that insane assortment of bottles in the supermarket.

So I am still experimenting, so stay tuned for my next update.

PS: Hey, I had a great time at the expo in Lebanon, MO. If you didn’t get to see me there, I’ll be at the expo in Arlington, TX hanging out with Jack Spirko on April 26th & 27th – and after that I‘m going to be a homebody as I’ve got to focus on my garden and livestock! LOL.
