Too bad you never had
Aunty Sue's Delicious Shampoo
1 raw egg yolk (half a yolk is enough, but they're hard to find)
a blob of sorbolene cream at least half the size of the whole egg
5 drops pure tea tree oil (10 for serious anti-dandruff treatment)
at least a couple of teaspoons of water
a few drops of angostura bitters, or other options (see below)
Mix well with finger (or whip fluffy in blender) and massage plenty of
it into wet hair and scalp. Leave it on for 5-15 minutes if you want
extra conditioning effect. Rinse off vigorously with warm water (relax,
it won't cook on your head!). Repeat. Keep away from hungry people
until hair is dry. Avoid becoming wet with strangers.
Notes:
- You won't get a sudsy lather but it cleans thoroughly just the same.
- Leftover shampoo keeps for about a week covered in the fridge, or a
day or two at room temperature. Perform the sniff test before reuse.
- No, it's not edible. Tea tree oil (an essential ingredient) should
not be ingested. It also repels most insects, e.g. mozzies.
- If your tea tree oil is the diluted kind, do the necessary arithmetic.
- Egg yolk can be omitted, but it deep cleans and adds life to the hair.
- Leftover shampoo can also be used as a medicated soap to treat
acne or dermatitis.
- YMMV
Optional extras you can add for variety:
a little left over cream or sour cream
a dash of rum or lemon or lime or vanilla essence
a teaspoon of olive oil to treat very dry hair
a dash of lemon juice or vinegar or beer
anything that smells good and mixes well
