When shampooing, wrap a pill with cloth and put it in sugar water to shampoo. After a month, the hair will become black and moist.

In ancient times, during Valentine's Day in China, most women would pick peach branches from cypress leaves for decocting and shampooing. Because the weather is dry in summer, washing is easy to dry, and washing hair will be refreshing and lubricating, not dirty or greasy.
