Learning things: hair retrieval
Aug. 13th, 2008 05:53 pmYesterday I went mall walking with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
livingdeb and cartaufalous. Cartaufalous was successful in shorts-shopping. But the interesting part was not the creative colors or even the cargo pockets, but rather the check-out lady.
She was entertaining, with lovely hair, and she had a recipe for getting back your hair. She looked old enough that this would be a concern for her husband, if not for her.
She said she and her husband (who died with a full head of hair!) learned some extra tips the hard way:

1 pint of (really cheap) vodka
3 oz red pepper (dried flakes are fine)
Combine, put in a cabinet for 5-7 days. Remove from cabinet, strain out red pepper. Dab on bald spots before going to sleep.
She said she and her husband (who died with a full head of hair!) learned some extra tips the hard way:
- Do not rub your eyes, nose, mouth or .... anything else sensitive after putting this on the balding spots. No matter how much you washed your hands.
- Do not take a shower before dabbing it on. Or if you do, make it a COLD shower. No opening of the pores.
- When you wash it off your head the next morning, be sure to lean your head BACK when rinsing it off your scalp. Rinsing it into your eyes is evidently a baaaaaaad idea.
- If you start doing this, you do not have to do it every day for the rest of your life. Just do it until you are happy with your hair, then stop. When you notice it thinning again, make up another recipe.
