All the remedies that I know of seem to be known all over the UK.

In the 50s my mum rinsed her hair with vinegar to give it shine. It shone beautifully, but made her date (later to be my daddy) hungry and craving chips with lashings of salt and vinegar.

Nettle shampoo - not worth the effort.

Nettles and dock leaves - does work, but week killer on the nettles works too.

Mum said that when she was young there was a magic contraceptive with 100% success rate. It was called "no".
