Hair Dressing

To keep unruly hair in place, try this lightly scented conditioning dressing.
Equipment:

• Double boiler
• Measuring spoons
• Small saucepan
• Measuring cup
• Mixing spoon
• Small jar with cover

Ingredients:

• Beeswax
• Castor oil
• Anhydrous lanolin
• Vegetable oil
• Oil of bergamot

Note: Buy beeswax, lanolin, and oil of bergamot at a pharmacy.
Yield: About 3/4 cup
In the top of a double boiler, slowly melt 1/2 ounce of beeswax, about 1 tablespoon. In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of castor oil, 1/4 cup of anhydrous lanolin, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil; stir to blend the oils. Add the melted beeswax to the oils and stir well; then add 2 teaspoons of oil of bergamot and stir again. Pour the mixture into a clean jar and let cool.
To use the dressing, place a small dab on one palm and rub your palms together to spread it; run your hands through your hair to distribute the dressing evenly. Use only a little; more than a dab will make your hair greasy
