How to Use "Evan Williams" Preparations — Lesson Six

These preparations are a little stronger than the other kinds of shampoo, and they are used to renew the life and restore the color of blond hair that has grown dark. They contain no "peroxide," and therefore do not dye the hair — the one when what is wanted is to give the hair luster, and the second to obtain results of stronger effect.

First method: Take the contents of the shampoo packet and the contents of the henna-and-camomile packet and mix them together in a bowl; then add a little warm water to the mixture and stir it until it becomes a sticky paste. Add the water gradually — it must not exceed a quarter of a liter — and keep stirring so that no lumps gather in it. Wet your hair well and apply to it first half the shampoo mixture, then wash it with warm water; after that rub it with what remains of the mixture and leave it on for five minutes; then wash it well with plenty of warm water, and let it dry without using the drying machine.

Second method: Add hot (not boiling) water, gradually, to the contents of the henna-and-camomile packet, stirring the mixture constantly until it becomes a thick paste. Then divide your hair into strands and coat the roots with the paste by means of a small brush — the paste should be hot. After that, cover your head with brown paper or a towel, so as to keep in the heat, and leave the paste on for about 15 or 20 minutes. Meanwhile, add to the contents of the shampoo packet enough warm water to turn it into a sticky paste; then add the rest of the water and go on stirring.

When the 15 or 20 minutes have passed, lift off the paper or the towel, and wash the hair first with warm water, then with half of the remaining shampoo mixture; after that wash your hair with warm water, then rub it with what is left of the shampoo, and at the end wash it with plenty of warm water and let it dry without using the drying machine.
