[Haircare during Edo period], handy illustration by Sayuri Sasai.

As time went, Edo hairstyles became more and more intricated. Hairdos were set using plenty of styling products, like 梳き油 sukiabura (creamy pomade) or 付け油 tsukeabura (solid pomade). Many recipes existed, varying in bases (like 椿油 tsubakiabura/camellia oil, 菜種油nataneabura/canola oil, 木蝋 mokurô/sumac wax etc.) and fragrances used.

Once set, hairstyles did not fell apart easily, but the oils used meant hair easily caught dust or dander - hence why people used tenugui or other kinds of hoods to protect their hair (see those past notes 1 / 2):

In the past, washing one's hair was usually done once or twice per month (in the meantime, to relieve itchy scalp, people often used hairpins to scratch without unraveling hairdo!).

Dirt and wax were washed off using hot water and shampoo made from dried 布海苔 funori (a type of red algae) and うどん粉 udonko (wheat flour). You can see here an attempt at recreating the mix.

Then, hair was allowed to dry naturally (taking care of not catching a cold in freezing weather!).

i love that if nolan’s hair isn’t styled back or it grows out enough it just falls into a natural middle part, he just like me fr

#invincible #nolan grayson #omniman #omni man #i love him #my beautiful husband who’s parasitically attached to my cerebral cortex #i headcanon’d this to my friends on discord a good while back #and I am proven yet again that I know him so well #he probably uses some kind of pomade or clay in his hair to keep it back

I keep hoping that at some point I'll get to take a shower in Disco Elysium. Maybe if I keep clicking around I'll find a secret toothbrush and be able to make Harry brush his teeth. Maybe if I keep interacting with the hot water in the sink he'll wash his face?

I've never worried about hygiene like this in any other game. I'm not concerned about my farmer in Stardew Valley smelling like manure. But I'm just made so uncomfortable by the fact that this piss-soaked man is still piss-soaked and the game won't let me do anything about it. Secretly a horror game. The horror is thinking about how Harry smells.

#it doesn't help that Kim is right there next to him #and Kim is so well put together #I bet Kim smells nice #I bet he showers every night after leaving you #I bet he uses scented hair pomade #disco elysium

#sweeney todd #i like to think he would have sent him to his maker with hair hair impeccably pomaded #but who knows

Gosh, I am a such sucker for the 'normally your hair is so neat and tidy but ohhh look it's so unkempt right now must put my hand on it' in all the characters I love, which is I am a firm believer that this is Jake's hair when he's on leave and Bradley can't stop running his fingers through it and no one will convince me otherwise:

#all my SW friends know this about me since we all scream about Hux's hair when it's free of pomade and falling over his forehead #sereshaw #hangster #top gun maverick

the best thing about The Company You Keep is always going to be Milo’s little undercover bits and costumes because honestly every version of that man is fine and this is like getting 45 versions of him in micro doses

#1x04 with the lil pimp glasses and jewelry??? EXCUSE ME???#IT'S EVERYTHING #milo ventimiglia #the company you keep #also his hair getting brushed straight back and pomaded or whatever was very Jess Mariano #charlie nicoletti

i wonder what rhys darby uses on his hair. his locks are always shimmering and beautiful I NEED to know what product(s) this middle aged man uses to maintain such cherubic waves. even outside whatever styling they do in ofmd his hair is constantly stunning it's so unfair

#short-hair-that's-chronically-flat-and-thin gang where are you at #ive tried a couple pomades but everything seems to weigh down my hair and make it look greasy and feel gross :/#i wish i had someone teach me how to style short hair when i was younger man #now i just have extra no clue how to not look like a teenage boy who just learned about hair gel #rhys darby #ofmd
