**Formula from *Qianjin Yifang* to Turn White Hair Black.**
*Bajiao Fuzi* (One piece) *Da Cu* (Half sheng)
Boil the above two ingredients in a copper vessel until they boil twice. Add one piece of high-quality alum stone, approximately the size of a plum seed, and dissolve it completely. Then add three liang of *Xiangzhi* (fragrant fat/balm), mix well, and stir until it coagulates. Place the mixture into a bamboo tube. To use, pluck the white hair, apply the balm to the root of the plucked hair, and black hair will grow back. (From Volume 5)
**Emergency Formula to Pluck White Hairs and Grow Black Hairs.**
After plucking the white hairs, apply good white honey to the plucked area, and black hairs will grow back. If no hair grows on the eyebrows, scratch the skin with an iron needle, apply honey, and eyebrows will also grow. Recently, I have seen many people grind cloves with a stone to extract juice. After plucking white hairs, they immediately apply this juice into the pores by hand, resulting in the growth of black hairs. This method is miraculous and effective.
**Auspicious Days for Plucking White Hair to Extend Longevity.**
4th day of the 1st month; 8th day of the 2nd month; 12th and 23rd days of the 3rd month (either day is acceptable); 16th day of the 4th month; 20th day of the 5th month; 24th day of the 6th month; 28th day of the 7th month; 19th day of the 8th month; 15th day of the 9th month; 10th day of the 10th month; 10th day of the 11th month; 10th day of the 12th month.
**Formula from Fan Wang and Wang Ziqiao for Taking Chrysanthemum to Increase Lifespan and Turn White Hair Black.**
Harvest chrysanthemum flowers on the Yin day of the first lunar month, called "Wuying"; on the Yin day of the sixth lunar month, called "Rongcheng"; on the Yin day of the ninth lunar month, called "Jingjing"; and on the Yin day of the twelfth lunar month, called "Changsheng". These refer to the roots and stems. Dry them in the shade for one hundred days. Take equal parts, pound them together for one thousand strokes on auspicious days ("Cheng" days), sift the powder, and mix with honey to form pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take seven pills three times a day. After one hundred days, the body becomes moist; after one year, white hair turns black; after two years, lost teeth regrow; after three years, an eighty-year-old person becomes like a child.
**Another Hair Dye Formula.**
*Hufen* (Lead carbonate/White lead, one part) *Baishui* (White ash/lime, one part)
Mix the above two ingredients with egg white. First, wash the hair thoroughly with rice water. Then apply the mixture, wrap the head tightly with oil cloth overnight, and wash off with soap nuts (*Zao Dou*) the next day. The result is black, soft, and enduring, which is excellent.
**Highly Effective Formula for Dyeing White Hair.**
Select fine-grained black soybeans (Four sheng)
Boil the single ingredient in four dou of sour grain water until reduced to four sheng. Remove the beans. Wash the hair clean with good alkaline ash water. When dry, apply the hot bean juice to the hair, wrap with oil cloth, leave overnight, then unwrap and let dry. Apply bear fat (*Xiong Zhi*) to rub and massage the hair, then wrap again with oil cloth. The hair will become black as lacquer, and one application lasts three years without fading. Highly effective.
**Another Formula**
Crush *Mujin Ye* (Hibiscus mutabilis leaves), mix with hot water to extract the juice, and use it to wash the hair. This is also good.
**Recent Effective Formula for Replacing White Hair and Beard.** (Obtained from Yan Zhongshu, reported as effective)
*Xiong Zhi* (Bear fat, two large liang, preferably made in the 12th lunar month) *Baima Zhi* (White horse fat, one liang, finely cut, boiled, filtered through silk, and squeezed for juice) *Poluole* (Ten pods, shaped like pointed tips, peeled for juice; juice flows out when pinched with fingernails) *Shengjiang* (Fresh ginger, one liang, also boiled in a pot) *Mu Dingxiang* (Mother clove, half a large liang)
Grind two of the ingredients (bear fat and white horse fat) into powder. Refine and filter the fats. Mix the medicinal powder evenly with the fats. Take a small branch of locust tree (*Huai*), stir leftwards for thousands of turns. After a short while, it coagulates or becomes paste-like. To use, pluck the white hair. Choose the Chen day as an auspicious day. Use the locust branch to dip the medicine and apply it. For each plucked hair, insert the medicine into the hair follicle, and rub the head vigorously with fingers to ensure absorption.
