Subject: RE: [h-cost] hair taping
I'm intrigued by the reference to Elizabeth's "second link"--I can't find
the message this clearly refers to, and maybe "hair taping" would be
helpful to me.

These are the two links I posted before
http://www.mfgraffix.com/hird/faoilt/hairtape.html and
http://katerina.purplefiles.net/garb/hair/Hair%20taping.htm they are both
different methods of hair taping as seen in 16th century Italian images, but
it's also a plausible way of anchoring headwear such as French Hoods (which
is how the discussion came up) You probably couldn't find it because it was
under the header 'Tudor Tailor - another review' as part of a discussion of
their method of recreating the French Hood. If you've got a particular time
period in mind other than 16th century Italy you probably need a hat, but if
it's just generic 'medjeeval' then this technique using something non-slip
to hold your hair in place and some decorative ribbon or trim over the top
could give you a pretty 'olde worlde' look.
