Ancient Egyptians died ... still beautiful

The ancient Egyptians still wanted to have a beautiful hairstyle because their form after death was just as important as their life.

Scientists at the University of Manchester, UK, conducted a 15-mummy test buried 3,000 years ago at Kellis 1 cemetery in Dakhla, Egypt and 3 mummies at the American Museum, aged 5-58.

Ancient Egyptians still wanted a beautiful hairstyle when they died

Observed under an electron microscope shows that the hair of these people is covered with a layer of fat from animals , others are covered by a plastic mixture.

'When checking on mummies, we discovered interesting hairstyles. They are curved and very fashionable , 'said Natalie McCreesh from Manchester University.

According to Maria Perla Colombini at the University of Pisa, Italy, Egypt is not the only society that wants to protect and has a beautiful hairstyle when it dies. In South America, the body is marinated with turpentine and tar oil while the hair is protected with a powder.
