Less is old enough to understand about it, even if accylass isn't.
It was all about housewifely duties.......nothing sinister in that(at least on my part there wasn't).
I remember donkey stones as coming in yellow or white, but I have a distant memory that really acomoplished 'donkey stoners' used to do elaborate lace like patterns...or have I dreamt that?

Re: Oh, no it isn't
Please read any instructions on the product carefully. Remember both powder and solid lumps may cause blue smears or specks if used incorrectly

Hope this didn't happen to your hair
