WHY HER HAIR IS STILL INTACT?


The skeleton of Tiye that has lived over 3,000 years ago was discovered in a tomb. It was found on discovery that her hair is still intact. Famous archeologist Zahi Hawas said that she was described as the owner of the best hair in the ancient pharaonic civilization, and she was constantly taking care of her hair. History recorded it that, she was a woman of beauty and fashion. Her hair was preserved and taking care of with animal fats. To counter baldness oil from crocodile, hippopotamus, goat, snakes, and even lions were used to care for their hair then. They also used hair oil with animal bloods in them, believing it could darken graying hair - they thought the dark pigment from blood will transfer hair when boiled with their oils. It's important to note that the hair is one of the parts that are not subjected to significant damage after death. Additionally, Tiye was obsessed with her hair; it was given more attention during the embalming process, which helped preserved it and keep it almost as it is.
