13.6 The History of Hair

  • Summary

  • 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 Visit the website (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures.
