Summary

This week is all about strange hair… Thanks to Listener Kristen’s tip, Bethany reports on the seven sisters whose crazy long hair made them millionaires during the Victorian era. But with lots of money comes lots of drama, and these sisters were no exception. (They even seem to have forgotten to bury one of the sisters because who has the time??) Then, Kathleen digs into the newspaper archives to find bizarre hair tips for women from back in the day. As it turns out, if you have some extra eggs sitting around, you too can have luxurious strands! And smell like sulfur! And get rejected by your peers!
