Mummies Reveal Egyptians Styled With ‘Product’ (1510L)

Notes on my thoughts,

The researchers believe that this fat-based hair gel was used by the Egyptians to

reactions and questions as I

mold and hold the hair in position to enhance appearance, since some of the

read:

deceased that had been mummified naturally in the desert also had fats in their

hair. When mummified using embalming chemicals, the undertakers seem to

have taken special care to retain the deceased's hairdos, as they used different

chemicals on different parts of the body.

"It is evident that different materials were used for different areas of the body,"

the researchers write. "The hair samples from the Dakhleh Oasis were not coated

with resin/bitumen-based embalming materials, but were coated with a fat-based

substance."

The mummies had all different kinds of hairstyles depending on age, sex and

presumed social status. Researchers have previously discovered objects in

Egyptian tombs that seem to be curing tongs, so they might have been used in

conjunction with the hair product to curl the hair into place, the researchers

speculate.
