oh goody/duh of me, 8-)... I think I was thinking of th 12thC garb list!!! but
you're right, for HERE, this is as appropriate as anything! thanks for
reminding me, 8-)
ah, OK, the Navajo is called chongo, the Hopi is called squash-blossom, or
butterfly whorls (looks like Princess Leia's cinnabons but farther up the head
free-standing away from the head
apparently very difficult to find how-to for the squash-blossom, beyond one
note that a wooden form is used to create the buns, then it's removed! found
one comment about the wooden form possibly being horse-shoe shaped, and found
a LOT of dead links. the following aren't much, but... the ritajean link does
have ONE photo of the hairdo half-way through production, FWIW

Hey Patriciaas far as I know there is no time frame or country of
origin limitation on this list. I LOVED to hear about this. I have
wondered about it as well. The other one I'd like to know how to do is the
(I think it is Hopi) hair dress that kinda looks oriental too. Lemme see
if I can find pics.

This is very OT for 12thC, but I've always wondered how it was done...
Navajo women's traditional double-bun hair-dress. I think I'm going to
ponder for a while if a similar technique might be of assistance in
achieving the Viking women's ritual knot hair-dress, which, admittedly, is
also OP for this list !? In any case, it is a marvelous demonstration of
how to create and hold a fairly complex hair construction using non-modern
tools.
anyway, a Native lady on another of my lists just posted about a zillion
photos from a recent large family reunion, among them a very step-by-step
demonstration.
Now, there are several clusters of hairdress photos scattered among pics
of other activities, starting about halfway down this page, look for the
little girl in the pink and yellow top, with white yarn holding her hair
