I was curious about that "healthy scalp" myself. Maybe in 1933 before the invention of Head and Shoulders, most people had dandruff. (I seem to remember when I was in high school, a lot of dandruff, but I don't see it anymore)
I don’t know how you could conclude “healthy scalp” from evidence found at a crime scene. Maybe because there was no dandruff?
I remember Head and Shoulders commercials, and placards on trains with smiling people whose heads appeared to have been frosted (or iced) like cakes. Drandruff-fighting lather!
