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)
ReplyDeleteI don’t know how you could conclude “healthy scalp” from evidence found at a crime scene. Maybe because there was no dandruff?
ReplyDeleteI 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!
