Beautiful women in medieval times

Today, I will give you the recipe for making your hair blonde: cook together greater celandine, root of agrimony, and shavings of boxwood and tie on the head with oat straw. Wash the hair with cleanser of vine and oat water. To make your hair curly, suffuse oil with the ground the root of danewort and tie it on the hair with leaves. I think all of this comes with the warning "don't try this at home!"
