Creating a Renaissance Hairstyle!

This morning, I actually wondered to myself at what point humans started adorning themselves and their environs. I recalled seeing archeological finds of deocrative beads and necklaces dating back tens of thousands of years, not to mention wall paintings and then I recalled reading about shells found in Indonesia with deocrative carvings incised into them that date back 540,000 years ago - even Homo Erectus apparently had a penchant for the lovely!

Certainly by the 15th century in Europe, there had long been a keen interest in both fashionable attire and fashionable coiffure, so here is a video in which we explore how to achieve the quintessential late quattrocento Tuscan lady's hairdo using techniques and equipment available at the time. Enjoy our experiment, and may you create your own perfect Renaissance portrait moment!
