  • In this episode of Hair History we're diving into the most extravagant era of hairstyling in the history of mankind. If you think you've seen it all, just wait unti you hear what ladies from the age of baroque and rococo were up to! I'm also going to demonstrate how to do an authentic 18th century hairstyle on your own hair, not using any wigs or hairpieces.

    @InnannasRainbow 8 лет назад +56

    They had to use wire frames for their hair which required a great deal of pomade, as you said. However, the hair was not washed all that frequently and the pomade would go rancid. This caused skin irritations and an unpleasant smell. There was plenty of lice but everyone had lice and it was considered normal. Also, the wig powder that they would put on their own hair before putting on a wig had powdered gold in it and that made it quite expensive. Ladies did not let their hair down at night and so they had to sleep practically sitting up because of their hairstyles.

    Just a suggestion if you ever do this again. I don’t think hair spray has enough “sticking” power for the flour. Even if you took hair conditioner and rubbed just a dollop between your hands and smoothed it over your hair I think would have provided the moisture for the powder. Also, baby powder works amazingly well to “whiten” the hair. Don’t ask me how I know, lol!
