Hair History is back! In this series, we're going to walk through all of European women's hair styling history together, from the classical age until the 20th century. Each episode is focused on a specific era, and of course there will be a hair tutorial for each era as well. This is the second episode, in which we're going to cover (heh) the hairstyles of the earlier part of the Middle Ages; roughly the 6th to 13th centuries. Enjoy watching!

RESEARCH & SOURCES
I try my best to keep the information I share in this series as correct and accurate as possible. I base my information mostly off of primary sources, and some secondary interpretations of those sources by people who have (preferably scientific) authority in the field. Richard Corson's Fashions in Hair is one of those wonderful resources that I rely heavily on.
Please keep in mind though that the goal of these videos is mostly to entertain, and only lightly educate. Even though I have a bit of experience in researching obscure topics and navigating barely studied aspects of history through my degree (in Celtic studies), this isn't my field of expertise. Each of these videos could be its own complete lifelong research project, but it's not my intention to take things that far. I can't guarantee I won't fall into traps of common misconceptions or plain incorrect information a few times throughout this series.
Even though there's a fair bit of source material available regarding hair styling history, not much has been published regarding it, and heavily peerreviewed sources are scarce. This is one of those topics where we still have a lot to learn, and there is simply so much we don't yet know or can't say for certain.
In summary: I try my best, but please take what I say here with a grain of salt.

My name is Lucy, I'm a Dutchwoman here to offer an alternative approach to beauty.

On this channel you'll find a decade's worth of hair tutorials where I show you how to braid, pin and style your own hair. I recreate hairstyles from movies, tv shows or history and have regularly come up with my own, which I love to share with you!

I really enjoy diving into history to find out how women went about their beauty and dressing rituals in days past. Vintage and historythemed videos are my joy, as is my latest passion: sewing and costuming.

You'll find a bit of lifestyle content here as well, ranging from cozy chats over a cup of tea (my beloved Tea Time videos) to personal vlogs and slow & conscious living videos.

Enjoy browsing!

Love,
Lucy
