It’s interesting how little beauty standards from 500 years ago have changed. In the Middle Ages, blonde hair was considered the most desirable (some things never changed), so women bleached their hair using olive oil or onion skins.
If their hair was tangled, they’d use a conditioner made up of bacon fat – which would probably be popular today! However, only royals washed their hair regularly, with ashes and egg whites being used as shampoo. Lastly, high class ladies carried pins in their cleavage, which they used to scratch at the lice that often infested their real hair, or wigs.
