It was long, thick, and jet black\u2014without a trace of gray, even as she aged. One night, I finally asked her what her secret was. She smiled and said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Mix these two ingredients, apply it to your hair before bed\u2026 and when you wake up, you\u2019ll be amazed.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, I didn\u2019t think much of it.
