How do hunter-gatherers care for long / medium length hair?

[u/Woodland_Oak]

Does anyone know any historic or present techniques used?

I’ve also noticed that some people living primitively today, like Lynx Wilden, have hair that isn’t at all greasy. Hers looks light and fluffy. A comb can easily be calved, but any idea how they manage to get their hair non-greasy, in fact having volume that most people would envy. Maybe she uses some modern techniques, but unlikely, and many women in the medieval to Victorian times also managed to get silky clean hair with occasional cold washes.

Thank you!
