13.6 The History of Hair
Manage episode 436748382 series 2870202
To cover the history of hair would be a podcast in and of itself, and the host should not be me. But hair has been very, very important to a great many women, both past and present, so I am going to give it a go, hitting only the points that caught my eye.
Topics included are:
- Cornrow braids
- Romans who sewed their hair into place
- Medieval women who prized a receding hairline
- French women who put battleships on their heads
- Slave women who brushed their hair with the tools meant for sheep
- The Marcel wave
- The bob
- and more
