There are women in the "braiding booth" at Dickens Faire and Ren Faire who put up long hair beautifully. They do elaborate braids, and then arrange the braids. Lovely. I don't know if there is a link to them on the Dickens site (www.dickensfair.com) If not, you can contact the Dickens fair folks. They have photos in a book outside the booth. -----Original Message----- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Anne Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 4:33 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] Victorian Hair:
I would be really interested to hear the result, if you choose this approach, because, to be honest, I never had much luck. My hair is just to my waist, and I have found that hairdressers are more practised in putting up hair that is to shoulder-blades or shorter. They don't seem to know where to "store" all the length, and weight, before doing fancy stuff with the last 8 inches.
