The Most Popular Hairstyles Throughout History
Much like the tide, historical trends and taboos ebb and flow. Some of them, like fashion throughout the centuries and the most common ways to die, are solid and almost definitive indicators of the cultural zeitgeist. Others, like hair trends throughout history, may seem inconsequential in comparison. However, like the tide itself, these hairstyles have affected humanity on a global scale.

This was great but you have to add more from the indigenous Americans to a few more African cultures who had some elaborate hair styles

It’s so funny(?) that during the renaissance, fringes were for men while women with fringes were deemed “too manly”. Now fringes are seen as more of a girly thing. Fashion and gender rules are wild.
I do miss the more decorative parts of fashion, I’m a bit sad we’re in too much of a “get things done quick bc time is money” society for people go as wild with it as they want to.
And hats. Which is mostly because cars and hats don’t go together very well.
