The History of Hair (ep. 13.6)
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
