You know I would laugh, but my husband and I were watching an episode of this show called I think Trading places-where an American family goes to live with a family in some remote exotic place with no phones, no running water, or inside toilets and where the women do all the work-well that last part sounds like my house-
but I digress. Anyway, this Black family I think from Detroit was sent to Peru I think and the Peruvian family had collected their urine for a number of days so that the family could wash their hair in it. It is considered and honor. It was the funniest thing I ever saw!!
The family did not know until afterwards it was urine that was collected from the whole villege, just for them. They say urine is the one of the best things to wash your hair in in remote areas such as that. Something about it keeping bacteria down or something like that....
