Historical hair care is the only reason I've been able to grow my dry, chin-length hair down to my tailbone.
And unfortunately, historical haircare advice seems to be pretty hard to find.
My goal for this blog is to compile all the information I've learned that has massively helped my hair health and growth, and give it to my audience in a no-nonsense collection of blogs.
If you're struggling to grow your hair, or are experiencing thinning and breakage, check out my articles below to learn how Victorian women were able to grow hair to their feet without modern products!
