Title: More hair in history Post by costello on Mar 31st, 2007 at 4:26pm
After I typed in my last installment on beauty shops in old Lawrence, I wanted to see a Marcel wave. So I did a google search. I found an article about Victorian hair. It includes this quote:
"Curly hair was meant to indicate a sweeter temperament, while straight-haired girls were considered reserved or even awkward. A woman's hair was profoundly important to the overall effect she was able to make. Reaching the age when the hair could be put up was a rite of passage in her life, and often there were several interim stages, where a plait would be loosely put up with a ribbon, to signify the coming event." The full article is at http://www.hairarchives.com/private/victorian1new.htm And there's other hair history stuff at http://www.hairarchives.com/private/mainnew.htm |
