[Haircare during Edo period], handy illustration by Sayuri Sasai.

As time went, Edo hairstyles became more and more intricated. Hairdos were set using plenty of styling products, like 梳き油 sukiabura (creamy pomade) or 付け油 tsukeabura (solid pomade). Many recipes existed, varying in bases (like 椿油 tsubakiabura/camellia oil, 菜種油nataneabura/canola oil, 木蝋 mokurô/sumac wax etc.) and fragrances used.

Once set, hairstyles did not fell apart easily, but the oils used meant hair easily caught dust or dander - hence why people used tenugui or other kinds of hoods to protect their hair (see those past notes 1 / 2):

In the past, washing one's hair was usually done once or twice per month (in the meantime, to relieve itchy scalp, people often used hairpins to scratch without unraveling hairdo!).

Dirt and wax were washed off using hot water and shampoo made from dried 布海苔 funori (a type of red algae) and うどん粉 udonko (wheat flour). You can see here an attempt at recreating the mix.

Then, hair was allowed to dry naturally (taking care of not catching a cold in freezing weather!).

"Bringing Chitose-ame (candy) to visit the shrine"

笹井さゆり「千歳飴(ちとせあめ)を持ってお宮参りへ」

Shichigosan in the Edo period

An event to wish for the healthy growth of children.

It was not called ‘Shichi-Go-San’, but different ceremonies were held for each age group. They change their hairstyle and kimono and take the first step towards adulthood.

A time when becoming an adult was difficult.

The average life expectancy in the Edo period is said to have been in the 30s.

One of the factors contributing to such a low average is the high infant mortality rate. It was not uncommon for them to die before they reached the age of seven.

江戸時代の七五三

子供の健やかな成長を願う行事。

「七・五・三」とは呼ばず、それぞれの年齢で異なる儀式を行いました。髪型や着物を変えて、大人への一歩を踏み出します。

大人になるのが難しかった時代

江戸時代の平均寿命は三十歳台と言われます。

平均値がこれだけ低い要因の一つは、乳幼児の死亡率が高い事。七歳を迎える前に死んでしまうケースが珍しくなかったのです。
