Home Made Hair Pomade
Dear Aunt Daisy, A mere man writes. I am unable to listen to your talks on the radio, but am very interested in your recipes given each
week in The Listener. I wonder if any of your friends have a recipe for a hair. oil using beef marrow.
AL
(Hamilton):
Thank you for your confidence in the " Daisy Chain" to supply your need. I am glad to say that several "links"? have sent in recipes for the pomade you require. One enclosed the photograph of her mother, taken at the age of 95, with
long thick beautiful hair hanging to her waist, much as you see in advertisement pictures. Here is her recipe, which she used all her life, and to which she attributed her fine head of hair. Pomade.-Procure a shin (or half shin) of beef. Extract the marrow from the bone, melt the marrow down in a small tin, then add the same quantity of castor oil and a little perfume. If no perfume is available a little essence of lemon makes the pomade smell nice. Allow this to set, and it is ready for use. Another receipe advises the baking in the oven of a marrow bone, then extracting the marrow, straining it through butter muslin, and then beating into the resultant matter as much bay rum as can be absorbed until a pomade is formed. Add a few drops of perfume. Another one says, extract the marrow from the bone before cooking; melt it down and add coconut oil. Mix together and add perfume. Rub it into the scalp.
