Historical Hair Q&A

  Hello Beautiful Humans! Over the last year several of you have asked questions about historical hair care and bringing more of these practices into the 21st century for your own routines. In this video I go over some of the pros and cons for different hair care practices from the middle ages and today. Please do keep in mind that these observations are based on my personal experiences which might be different for other people with different hair types. A few questions I go over include: "What is the difference between medieval and modern hair care?" "How do you prevent your hair from matting/ getting tangled?" "Which products should I use for historical hairstyles?" "What is your favorite historical hairstyle?" I hope you enjoy this update on historical hair care that I was able to recover from the vault when my laptop data came back. Do you have a historical hair care question or tip? Please shar in the comments! You may also be interest...

Make sure that your hair has been thoroughly combed out and separated with a center part while you are getting ready for this hairstyle. I would recommend having about 2.5-3 yards of silk ribbon on hand to complete the style for hair going to your waist. You may need less for shorter hair, or more to secure thicker hair. I have other blog posts where I go into history of hair dressing in the 16th century, and thought this video would be helpful for those out there trying to do a full circle or crown of braids instead of just a semi circle like I posted a few weeks ago.
