Ancient Egyptians 'styled their hair with fat-based gel'
London, August 27 (ANI): Ancient Egyptians styled their hair with a fat-based "gel" to make sure that they look good both in life and death, a new study has found.
Natalie McCreesh of the University of Manchester, UK and her colleagues examined hair samples from 15 mummies from the Kellis 1 cemetery in Dakhla oasis, Egypt, and a further three samples from mummies housed in museum collections in the US, the UK and Ireland.

The mummies were of both sexes, between 4 and 58 years old when they died, and dated from 3500 years to 2300 years ago.
When examined with light and electron microscopes, it became clear that the hairs of most mummies were coated with a fatty substance.
"Once we started looking [for these], we found interesting hairstyles.The hair was styled and perfectly curled," New Scientist quoted McCreesh as saying.
