How did ancient people wash their hair with such long hair?

Nowadays, we attach great importance to personal hygiene. If you find that your hair is oily or dirty and you haven't washed it for a long time, you will find time to wash it yourself, and there are not a few people who often wash their hair. In ancient society, people had problems eating, and they didn't care too much about things like washing their hair and taking a bath. After all, the big deal is to fill your stomach first, and at that time, it was bound by feudal ethics. People thought that your body was hairy and influenced by your parents. Cutting hair is disrespectful to parents, so most of ancient people's hair is very long, so washing hair is a time-consuming thing, so ancient people seldom wash their hair, and most of them are senior officials or rich people.

Ancient people certainly washed their hair, but they didn't wash it often. Moreover, it was not as convenient as it is now to wash their hair, and there was no such thing as shampoo and conditioner. At that time, people used Gleditsia sinensis as a shampoo plant. Gleditsia sinensis can also be used to wash clothes. Clothes washed with Gleditsia sinensis can remain soft and colorfast, so shampooing is also very effective. There is also plant ash for washing your hair, which has the function of adsorbing dust and dirty things. Washing your hair with Taomi water is easy to get, so everyone generally washes their hair with Taomi water, and there is sesame leaves. The soup after mashing sesame leaves can remove lice and clean hair.

In ancient times, officials were given a special holiday to take a bath and wash their hair, and one day off every week to arrange their own activities, such as taking a bath and washing their hair. Therefore, the tradition of taking a holiday has continued, so people with high status generally wash their hair.
