Dyeing Beard and Hair Black: Take one piece of birch bark, wrap it around one branch of Platycladi Cacumen (Platycladus orientalis), ignite it to produce smoke, and let the smoke condense into soot within a bowl of sesame oil. Apply this substance to the beard and temples with fingers. (From *Duoneng Bishi*)
Blackening Hair: Take a block of high-quality ink, fill it into the thick stem of Impatiens balsamina (Balsam flower), tie it tightly externally with hemp thread. After the frost descends, take it out and grind it into ink. Pluck out white hairs, apply this ink, and they will naturally turn black. (From *Qifang Leibian*)
Another method: Use ancient ink and Mother Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) in equal parts, mix well with good vinegar to form an ink stick. For use, take a small amount of ginger juice, dip a new brush, pluck out the white hairs, and dot them; they will turn black immediately. (Ibid.)
Appendix: Suitable Dates for Plucking White Hairs: January - Jiazi day; February - 8th day; March - 13th day; April - 16th day; May - 25th day; June - 14th or 19th day; July - 28th day; August - 19th day; September - 16th day; October - 10th or 13th day; November - 10th or 12th day; December - 7th day; Leap month follows the previous month's dates.

Dry and Lusterless Hair: Comb hair with oil infused with Chaenomelis Fructus (Chaenomeles speciosa). Alternatively, decoct Mori Cortex (Morus alba root bark) and Platycladi Cacumen (Platycladus orientalis leaf) (one jin each) in water, and wash the hair with the liquid; the hair will become shiny, lustrous, and colored. (From *Shenghui Fang*)

Once the beans are soft, remove the beans without further boiling until reduced to one sheng. Store and apply to the hair every morning. (From *Li Xiangu Fang*)
Women with Sparse Hair Promoting Growth: Take any amount of Platycladi Cacumen (Platycladus orientalis leaf), dry in the shade, grind into powder, mix with oil, and apply; hair will grow rapidly, especially effective for young people. (From *Tongshou Lu*)
