I was thinking last night, while trying to mosey into Nod, about hair. Yes, appearance is a bit of a shallow train of thought, and I usually wonder more about other things, but this was important. For example: just how do the Greeks do it?
This has actually been a question sitting at the back of my head since fourth grade and my early obsession with Greek mythology. I read every single mythology related book in the school and city libraries, resulting in quite a bit of exposure to illustrations of women with hair wrapped up with stretches of fabric. The Regency period saw a revival of the Greek style, and while it makes sense to me that they were able to pull it off, I just don't see how I would do it from a Greek perspective. While I've done research, I feel as though I still don't really get it. How do you keep it all wrapped up? What sort of product do they use to hold shape? Why won't these websites walk me through the steps instead of talking about the sorts of hairstyles they had? I can see the illustrations, thank you very much.
Four fifty AM, and this is how I start my day. I don't have time for this.
