The Hair of Empress Sissi: The Secret of Donkey Milk

Empress Elisabeth of Austria, better known as Sissi, is still considered one of the most fascinating personalities of the 19th century. It was not just her tragic life story that moved people, but also her extraordinary beauty, especially her impressively long and well-groomed hair. But what was the secret of her magnificent mane? Donkey milk, a noble and valuable raw material, played a crucial role.

Sissi and her passion for beauty

Sissi was known for her strict beauty routine and placed great importance on looking well-groomed. Her hair was her pride and joy: until her death, it reached down to her ankles. This magnificent head of hair was the result of years of care, in which she spared no effort. Historical reports say that Sissi washed her hair in donkey milk every day. This luxurious treatment was considered an incomparable beauty secret that not only cleaned her hair, but also nourished it and made it shine.

Why donkey milk ?

Donkey milk was known in ancient times for its nourishing and healing properties. It is rich in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids that benefit both the skin and the hair. For Sissi, who loved her hair more than anything, donkey milk was the perfect choice to maintain and strengthen her hair. The proteins and lipids in the milk penetrate deep into the hair structure and help to revitalize the hair, keep it supple and give it a natural shine.

Sissi's daily hair care ritual

One can imagine Sissi sitting in her luxurious chambers while her hair was treated with fresh donkey milk. This daily procedure took hours: first, the hair was carefully combed and freed of knots. Then it was washed with donkey milk, which was gently massaged in to work the valuable ingredients into the scalp and hair. After a while, the milk was washed out and the hair was gently combed and dried again.

A timeless beauty secret

Sissi's devotion to donkey milk shows how valuable this natural product can be for beauty care. Even today, donkey milk is highly valued in cosmetics and is used in high-quality care products for skin and hair. Its nourishing and regenerating properties make it an indispensable ingredient in the world of natural beauty care.
