Urine Was Used to Bleach Hair
If you think using strong chemicals for hair bleaching is bad, just wait. In the Elizabethan era, women used urine to lighten their hair. The ammonia in pee helped bleach it to a lighter shade, which was highly desirable.
They would soak their hair in urine and let the sun help do the rest. While it may have achieved the look, the method is unthinkable by today’s standards. Yet again, the things people endured for beauty are astonishing.
