[Cz-L] Egg Shampoo

Miriam (Mimi) Taylor <mirtaylo_at_indiana.edu>

Jerry,

It was thought in Czernowitz that one of the best shampoo materials,
was an egg-yolk. I have used it whenever I forget to buy shampoo
and it is great. Since it is rich in protein and has a relatively low pH,
I think that this idea both predated and inspired modern ideas about
shampoos.

Now, we Czernowitzers can also be proud of our innovative ideas about
Hair care.
