Elizabethan Quote

Today, changing your hair colour is a very easy process thanks to the research advances in the hair industry. Thanks to the hundreds of brands out there, we have the choice or any colour, any duration and any medium. However, though the desire to dye hair has been around for centuries, the easy processes have not. In the Elizabethan era, women would go to great extents to dye their hair. Here is an interesting quote about the process from the Elizabethan era.  Below are a few images that I feel, represent the quote. 

"To make the hair yellow as golde. Take the rine or scrapings of Rubarbe, and stiepe it in white wine, or in cleere lie; and after you have washed your head with it, you shall weatte your hairs with a Spoonge or some other cloth, and let them drie by the fire, or in the sunne; after this weatte them and drie them againe."

-  Giovanni Ruscelli (Alessio), The secretes of reverende maister Alexis of Piemount, 1568
