Fortunately, bleaching and dyeing are both such tedious processes that
this circumstance alone will keep many persons from submitting to
their bondage. Once applied, the dye becomes a necessity, much harder
to leave off than to begin, as the English Dr. Scoffern says, who is
authority for most suggestions in this chapter. One can not blame those
persons who brush the roots of the hair or forehead and neck with amber
lavender to disguise their pale, unsightly appearance, and a touch of
the same liquid on white eyebrows does no harm. Walnut bark, steeped
a week in Cologne, gives a dye that is transient, but easily applied
with a brush each day, and has instant effect. It takes a day or two to
bleach hair, and hours to color it either black or yellow; and the work
has to be done over month by month in a fashion that brings the victim
to speedy repentance of her folly.
