Two easy Victorian hairstyles, Medieval braids, Renaissance hair taping, simple 18th century hair, a Regency updo, and an Edwardian Gibson Girl, all on naturally curly hair! This tutorial for easy everyday historical hairstyles is perfect for historybounding and historical working women, and will work for straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair textures. I have naturally curly hair and have always struggled following historical hair tutorials done on long, straight hair. So here are my methods for doing curly historical hairstyles! I'll show seven different styles spanning 600 years : Medieval 13th and 14th century ramshorn braids, Renaissance hair taping inspired by @Morgan Donner, a simple alternative to towering gray powdered 18th century hair, a Regency style for when balls are allowed again, the mid Victorian style I wear for Dickens Fair, my favorite quick 1890s hair, and finally a big messy Edwardian topknot for putting an even bigger Edwardian hat on. All of these hairstyles are quick enough for everyday historybounding wear, and can be done using historical hair techniques and tools, or modern ones.

Hello, i'm snappy dragon. You can call me v and, as you may have noticed, i have a lot of curly hair, i'm also a hairstylist as my day job. When i'm doing my hair to wear with historical outfits, i sometimes run into problems following tutorials. My hair is never going to act like morgans or courtney's, just because my hair isn't like morgans or courtney's. So i've come up with my own ways of doing my curly hair in historical styles, i'm going to show you seven hairstyles from the middle ages all the way through the 18th century, regency victorian and edwardian eras. These are quicker, easier options more for everyday wear by working people than the high fashion high effort. Styles, we see for full costume dress. You can do these styles with any hair type, even straight hair, but you might need to use slightly different methods that suit your hair best. Even no two heads of curly hair are the same, so your hair might also look a bit different and that's not a bad thing. Very coily hair, especially, is underrepresented in historical hair tutorials. The american duchess guide to 18th century beauty, does have an excellent essay from cheney, if not your mama's history, on black women's hair care. In that time period the book only features one model who has a looser coil carla of tiny. Angry crafts is working on an 18th century hair tutorial with her very coily hair. So go subscribe to her, so you don't miss it actually just subscribe to her anyways, because she's lovely and so are her videos. Most curly haired folks know that hair brushes and sometimes even combs are the enemy you will not need to brush or comb. Your hair out to do these styles you're safe as long as your hair is relatively tangle. Free you'll be fine. I washed and detangled yesterday curly hair has more natural volume because of its texture. Since it's wider compared to how long it is, i often have to use the short hair versions of historical styles, even though my hair is nearly waist length. However, i also find that i can do large hairstyles that need back combing, teasing or padding on straight hair without any of those. The tighter and springier your curls are the more both of these will be true, i'll, be using the following tools and products. Some are modern, some are historical. I have a tail comb which i'll only be using the pointy end of to make sections and a couple sectioning clips. I also have small and large modern, hair, elastics, small and large bobby pins, u-shaped hair pins, some silk ribbon and a bobcat or large blunt needle for products. I have penny river costumes, hair powder, which i poured into a non-aerosol dry shampoo, bottle it's better than any dry shampoo i've ever used. I also have their pomade and a spray bottle of water mixed with a little styling cream and some light hold hairspray all to tame any straight curls. You might recognize this first style from my video on medieval jewish women's headwear, it's appropriate for the 13th and 14th centuries and was usually worn with a veil. On top for how to add, the veil go watch that video part, your hair in the center. All the way down the back of your head to make two sections if your hair is shorter or very voluminous compared to its length, gather the section at your temple and start braiding it down in front of your ear from there. If it's longer and drapier start braiding from the nape of your neck, once you've done both sides loop, the braids around your ears, if you braided from your temple, you can just secure the end behind your ear or at the back of your head. Wherever works, if you braided from the nape, bring the braid forwards up in front of the ear and secure it on top of your head, i'm a little asymmetrical since i've done one each way, but both look great with or without a veil moving into the renaissance. The two braids were still the foundation of the hairstyle, but arranged differently. This style involves hair taping or wrapping a ribbon or fabric tape around the braids to secure them. This is inspired by a morgan, donner video, but it's one from about two years ago, linked in the description and the card on the right, starting with the same center part twist the front sections of your hair nearest, your hairline, you can do either a flat twist Or a two strand twist and make them as small and tight or as fluffed out and voluminous as you want. When you reach the ear, stop twisting and braid that entire section from the nape of your neck, you might find it helpful to tie off the twist if your hair is slippery. If your hair is longer and drapey, you can cross the braids behind your head and then bring them up to the crown area forming a circle at the back of your head. If your hair is shorter or very voluminous compared to its length, you might need to bring your braids straight up to the crown of your head more like milkmaid braids, but further back. My braids are finally barely long enough to cross in back use a clip or a pin or something to hold them there. While you tie one end of your ribbon securely to the base of a braid and thread the other through your bodkin or needle now begin sewing the braids to the hair at your scalp, using a whip, stitch-like method that wraps the ribbon around the braids for extra Security, you can even sew through the braids instead of just wrapping around them. A grippier ribbon is best, which is why i chose silk taffeta ribbon, but twill tape or math synthetics, like grosgrain, will work well also, when you reach the other side of your head. Tie off the ribbon at the base of the other braid, you can accessorize with a veil, a cap, ribbons and flowers or just leave it as is secure in the knowledge that once sewn in place, your hair is going nowhere. The towering powdered styles we associate with the 18th century were only worn every day by the rich and high fashion. What portraits we have of working people show simpler styles, with some volume at the front and the rest of the hair coiled up and covered with a cap separate out the front section of your hair and make sure it's got some powder or dry shampoo in the Roots for volume, mine already has plenty tie the rest of your hair into a mid-height ponytail at the back of your head now drape the front section back over the top of your head towards the ponytail and push it forward to puff it up, pin behind the Poof at the crown of your head and then again above the ponytail coil all of the hair up into a bun, including the ends of the poofed section and secure it with pins. The period option would be large, u-shaped pins, but mine are too small. So i'll use large bobby pins, if you like, you can add a cap over the top and a colorful slick ribbon to complete the look. This style is perfect for the next regency ball you're going to when we can have those again pull your hair into a high ponytail. If you have short layers or bangs, leave those out to frame your face. If you have long hair like me, pull all of it back, choose several curls from the top of the ponytail, then bring them forward to hang in a cluster beside your face like so, you can arrange them at different lengths if you'd like to pin them to The top of your head with the ridge side of the bobby pins towards your scalp then arrange them at the front repeat, on the other side, twist the rest of your hair into a bun using any method you prefer, since my hair has so much volume. If i twist and coil it all together, it's uneven, so i divide it in half and twist the sections around each other i'll pin that in place with these large bobby pins, here's our finished regency style, there's a really clear evolution from the regency style, with a High bun and short curly face frame through the even higher 1830s into the low bun and draped sides of mid victorian hair part. Your hair in the center then separate out two sections at the front, one on each side: coil everything else into a low bun at the back of your head. I'Ll. Try to do this, one all in one section and pin it in place. You have some options for the front sections: pendant braids were popular, meaning braids hanging around each ear, as were wide draped sides and sometimes curls as well i'll do the style i use for dickens fair, which combines the last two i'll pick up. One front section pinch it a few inches above the ends and drape it beside my face like this, the hair above where i've pinched it forms a wide loop and the curly ends fall in front of my ear. I'Ll, pin it in place at that point somewhere. Above my ear with two or more crossed bobby pins, once i've done the other side, this will look great with or without a mid, victorian bonnet on onto the 1890s part, your hair in the center or at either side. If you have bangs or short curls at the front, separate them out, curly bangs were super popular in the 1880s and 90s. Then gather all the hair together, hold it behind your head and roughly parallel to the floor and tie it into a ponytail. A couple inches out from your head, then lift the base of the ponytail up to the crown of your head and smoosh it down onto your scalp. Adding a couple of pins to secure the base, arrange the ponytail into a bun or even an artful mass of curls. The fluffy voluminous front and tighter back are perfectly characteristic of late, victorian styles. This edwardian style is the bigger more exaggerated evolution of the 1890s style and they're done in much the same way. I'Ll make sure my hair is really well powdered at the roots for maximum fluff gather all of your hair, as if you were forming a ponytail, but the angle should be higher and the hair tie placed closer to the ends. Now push that point down onto the top of your head and note to the front over to the side as you do this secure the base of the ponytail to your head, with whatever pins work, i'll use, large bobby pins, then careful not to disturb all the Front and side fluff arrange the ponytail into a bun. You can also adjust how the sides lay by lifting or pulling in various ways and then pinning in place. This style was called the cottage loaf for resembling this shape of bread. Silly as it seems the bun on top is the perfect place to stab your hot pin through and there we have it seven hairstyles spanning 600 years suitable for the regular historical person or history boundary all demonstrated on curly hair.

Comments
Eden Yell: Alternatively titled "a brief history of the messy bun"
Zmeika Ilievna: I used to braid my roommate's hair in hightschool, it was very similar to yours, though a little darker, and it was always difficult at first but oh so rewarding at the end when it hold shape, while my straight hair was easily tamed but couldnt hold a shape for dear life and would not ever fake a little volume. Your video reminds me a lot of these happy hours braiding each others' hair, or even just scratching it on her bed while watching movies or reading to each other.
sissy sgroi: I loved the look you give after each style; it says, "muhahaha, curly hair, I have defeated you once more!" Yup. I got lots of curly hair too! Will be using the two swirled lengths bun-making instructions!
Emily Miller: Omg! This couldn’t have come at a better time! I have curly/wavy hair and I’ve been struggling to find the perfect styles to use now that I’m starting to historybound at work. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wynne Whitten-Holmes: My (wavy, very thick hair) eats pins and I relate hard to your grompy pin face! Much good info in this video, thank you. ✨
goddesofwolves: My hair is so thick; that I’ve resorted several times to getting different hair pins made by black smiths. My mass of wild curls gets tied up under a turban and vail for 13/14 century Ottoman.
VioHRD: Oh this is wonderful! I didn't realize I could do buns with bobby pins, my tia is the only other one in the family with curly hair, and I don't see her often, so I never know how to take care of my hair. This is very helpful, thank you!
By Golly, Miss Holly: Thank you for making this!! I struggle so much with historical styles and my curly hair and I will absolutely be trying some of these out!
elfinvale: using your curly tips for the regency fringe is just genius!!! what a great idea. i have dead straight blond hair (curls fall out of it so quickly; i can just barely achieve waves lol) and only the crown is longish (i'm growing out an undercut) but you've inspired me. one day when my shoulder pain is lower ima see what i can do
Jennifer Absher: That Regency hack was extremely cool. I recently grew my bangs out for the first time in years and this really helps!
Sierra Larars: These all went up super fast and really pretty. I'll add these to my 'to try' list for when I attempt to put a curl in my hair again. Especially the Dickens one! My hair is in the limp, straight and stubbornly refuses to take a curl or any kind of volume catagory.
Eli Haugen: really appreciated this video. where I live the wind almost always blows, and often also rain. so seeing contemporary hairstyles that are not ruined the minute I walk outside the door was really good. cheered me up.
Defiant Dame: Loved this video! I use the Elling woman's braid and pin the end up for a secure and practical style at work even covering it with a bandana to keep grit and grime out.
Robin Hahn: This is wonderful! I run a very small indie opera company, and (when humans sing together live again) we need to do lots of simple, historical updos from a lot of different eras on lots of different types of hair. Definitely gonna save this to look through next time we have a show!
Bee B: This is the clearest hair tutorial (period or modern) that I've seen in ages and I've saved it ti come back to and try a few. My hair frizzes constantly and while I don't need period accurate hair often some of these look like they'd work wonderfully for taming my hair and looking cute even now. Thanks so much for all the great info and tips and lovely video.
Janis I: Your hair takes these styles so nicely! I've tried a few of these when my hair was long, but I tend to braid and pull everything very tightly; yours is fluffy and voluminous.
soccerchamp0511: Ahhh! Your hair is absolutely gorgeous and perfect. I don’t even know if I would be able to do most of these styles that easily because I have very thin straight-ish (my hair can’t make up its mind) hair that doesn’t hold curls or volume well.
Michelle Cornum: I do my hair in something more akin to Heddy Lamar, because my follicles are so darn thin. I have 3 curly girls, one of them quite Rapunzelian, but they won't let me mess with their hair beyond the minimum necessary to leave the house. My non-curly girls, come to think of it, are also brush and go types. SURE, now that I actually CAN do these styles, I don't get to do them. Ah, but one day . . . October is coming and someone might require my skills. Excellent video!
Kristan T: Thank you so much for the tutorial. I would wear these just normally. :) the explanations are on point!
Jessica Knox: That 1890s one is going right into my office-hairstyle repertoire - super simple AND super cute
Barbara Lea Weaver-Mercado: Thank you for this! Now I can do the Regency do without curlers. I used to straighten my hair until I went grey and my delicate hair can't do the heat.
Bone & Lace: Thank you thank you thank you! I often look at historical and vintage styles (in contemporary portraits/photos) and think, that's basically a well coordinated pile of curls, I'd love to give that a go, then look at the modern tutorials where they straighten/curl/brush everything out/backcomb and nope right outta there. It' definitely not how everyone could have done it (and I've macgyvered up a few of my own versions), but this is the first proper acknowledgement I've seen of that, so thank you! I work as a film extra sometimes and I can't tell you how many times the hair and makeup people have decided they need to backcomb it because that's "how they get the look," which means it's days of pain afterwards for me. I've only once had a curly-haired person do my hair for something and it was by far and away the best experience (and look) I've come away with from one of those things. I probably won't be able to use too many of these particular methods either - my personal curl is very heavy but also not very resilient to physical handling, so using hairties for ponytails usually gives me headaches/sensory issues/destroys it into a frizzled half limp mess, and pins usually pop out/bust unless I can get 15 in there simultaneous to share the load. But if there's anyone reading who has similar hair to me, the single-braid style that Morgan Donner does that's known from viking era figurines and in much older bog bodies is one of the few I've found that works straight out of the box, at least for my hair. And experimenting on from that, I've found there's lots of other ways to make a French or Dutch braid on specific bits of your head and then secure or poke the tail back in which distributes the weight really nicely, doesn't crush the natural curl and is often secure for several days. I've managed to get satifactory Gibson girl floof, false milkmaid braids/crown braids and something that looks kinda 18th century so far by adventurous application of braids. Experiment!
lio leigh: I just found your channel and I'm so thrilled. Would love to see more videos and tutorials on historical hair (styles, accessories.) It's fascinating to see what tools women used to to curl or straighten their hair with.
Caroline: Your hair is simply goals! I have a looooooooooooot of hair and it’s so thick it’s so hard to make it stay in place or pinned. The pins start jumping of my head! I need to see if they have big hair pins that are able to hold my hair in place. By the way, I love all the hair styles you did!
Lisa Dixon: So gorgeous, Love these styles, wish I had thick curly hair like yours!
Millie: Thanks for this tutorial it’s super helpful, I’ve got very thick wavy/curly hair and even with an undercut (to reduce the thickness) it’s thicker than any of my friends or family members, I tried following some other historical hair tutorials but none of them rly worked right, this one adresses all the problems I had with the others !!
Jackie Thomas: I'm SOOO happy to have found this! I have hip length curly Sicilian hair so I struggle to follow most historical tutorials and have to find my own way of doing things also.
Darryel Perry: Wow, I did not expect to learn so much useful information. My hair is NOT as long, as thick ,or as curly but these techniques still work for me!
Pella W: obsessed with the regency style one. gonna wear it to work tmr i think
Michelle: I've done 3 of these hairstyles this week and plan on doing the rest! This is a great video and I would love more like them-- especially hair styles that are easy and add to am everyday history bounder...er... 1830s would be much appreciated!
Starry Wizdom: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I've always loved how the Gibson Girls look in their poofy-front hairdos, & now I can do it, too! I followed your instructions for the late Victorian "cottage loaf" hairstyle & it was SO EASY & looks great! I've always had issues with my hair being very full for its length -- both frizzy/coily & actually thick. This tutoriaal was SO helpful for me, & "historybounding" is my new favourite word. I've been wearing items & outfits inspired by historical styles for everyday clothing since I was a wee tyke, but I never knew there was a word for it before. Thank you again, V!
Carena Hasara: This is so helpful! Thank you! Now we just need one for undercuts lol
Sophia Nílsson: When my hair was long (I buzzed it not long ago) it falls in large ringets just a bit bigger in dimension than yours, and I often did an aphrodite knot, where I'd twist the two sides in opposite directions then do two square knots on the top of my head. Especially if you use a two pronged hēru, it's super stable.
FlybyStardancer: I try to do hair taping as my everyday style, but I’ll do it once and leave it all week. My hair is longer and drapier (wavy rather than curly), but I seem to have all of the tangle problems of super-curly hair. It doesn’t matter what I do, I have to do an hour of combing first to get the tangles out.
Firey Fox: I love that you showed so many variations/modifications of the same styles!
Magbi Blue: These styles are amazing, and I will definitely be trying them (despite my lack of curls)!!! I do have a question though: I've tried wearing a style similar to your edwardian and 1890's styles before, and my poofy front/ neat back combo always ends up turning more flat front/strange droopy back (my high bun slips and takes the poof with it). How can someone with oily, slippery hair combat this?
LavenderMilkshake: they are such lovely alternatives to my regular bun; have to give option 3, 6 and 7 a go :)
Gabi: I really appreciate that you include "how-tos" for both longer and shorter curly hair
Bobbi Buttons: What a fabulous, glorious hair colour, the curls just set it off. I’m completely jealous. I have naturally blonde, utterly straight and baby fine. I loathe and hate it, always have. My grandma had identical colour and texture to you (sans blue) and I prayed mine would be like this when I grew up. I love the fact that you have shown the medieval Jewish woman. Being Jewish I love hearing about historical Jewish clothing, hair etc. Thank you for showing that.
sonorasgirl: Do I have any intention of history bounding or even much interest in historical styles? No. Was this still excellent info, entertainment, and tutorial that was actually followable? Yes. You’ve inspired me to try it!
Jamie: I've actually been experimenting with not washing my hair with bottled products, for the past month. I've tried the egg and water - that was better than I expected. Not washing with any soap at all doesn't seem to work for me. Latest thing is castile bar soap and that seems to work very nicely. It leaves my hair fluffy, but not dry.
Dominique Rocanella: I loved your demonstrations of all these hairstyles! You make it look so easy. Now I am sad I cut my hair! Edwardian is my fav, and you make it look so easy!!
Paula Musik: Thank you so much! I love hair tutorials and trying styles with my hair but so many hairstyles simply don't work with my curls that well. So this was really helpful!
Emma D: Oh my god, splitting the hair into two THEN bun makes so much more sense. Thank you for this sacred knowledge.
Becca: So excited when I saw this! I have 3c curly hair and I have been SO frustrated trying to follow hairstyle tutorials by historical costumers, virtually all of whom have straight hair. Thank you SO much for this!!!
Alison Carroll: This was such a well done and informative vid. Thank you! Also, you are beautiful xo
kay T: I think curly hair has magic, it looks absolutely beautiful, but it's temperamental. Do too much with it, it hates you, do too little, it also hates you. There's this perfect point between leaving it mostly alone but then adding just enough finesse for it to be living happily. I often feel like I have a particularly sensitive houseplant upon my head. XD Lovely styles, thank you for sharing!
Rural Stitching Witch: oh my gosh yess!! thank you for this, i too have struggled with the long-straight-hair tutorials using my own very curly hair :')
ShellyL Robinson: Thank you so much for this. I can’t wait to be able to go to places and do my hair.
Tudorosities by Maureen: Thank you for making a video on a more curly textured hair, as it behaves very differently on the ones ratio of curl/wave one has.
Cibele Andrade: this is so helpful, i have a waist lenght hair, curly, thin and dry, and so very much of it as to make 4 braids in both options of the first style you made. Most tutorials dont really work for me because of it. Loved your so much, thank you.
Herp Things: What a great video! Just found your channel so I have to binge watch all of it. I've always been interested in how people learned about how to deal with their own hair, mostly because no one taught me a darn thing. Was told I have great mostly straight hair so I can do do anything. Well, I can't do anything because no one would teach me. Even going to salons and I've had appointments with stylists and they treat me badly because I don't know? If no one teaches you, you can't know. I can do a ponytail and maybe a braid. I have a lot of mental baggage when it comes to hair. I just want to know why the things people suggest work and how it is supposed to work. Thanks for the video
Diffy 1991: I love how interested in history and open minded you are
Magdalen Powers: I just discovered your channel, and I SO wish I’d seen this before I cut bangs to do Regency curls for a (Zoom) reading! I did a decent job, but the layers are driving me nuts now.
Thomas Malone: The first two looks are literally my grandmother's daily styles.
La Joyous: Sigh... Curl envy gets me every time. Great video, even though I watched for entertainment alone
hazeluzzell: Your hair is perfect for all these styles!
Katherine Spezia: YES FINALLY a historical hair how-to for lazy people! I needed this so bad.
Erin Smith: Been looking for this type of video for ages!! Thank you so much!!
Werrabin: I don't have curly hair, but really thick, voluminous hair, so I've run into the same issues as you described with other hair styling tutorials and love your content, thanks so much!
Katherine Morelle: I tend to go with a method similar to Bernadette Banner’s, only without the plait at the back. I find that all the flood I get from curly hair gives me plenty of volume. It’s an especially good style for if my hair has lost some definition, or I’ve had to brush it for some reason.
Lily Bean: My biggest problem is that my hair doesn’t get thinner as the braid goes on, there is no small end to neatly tuck under.
Amelia Sprague: I have very thick and soft hair and my buns are always uneven! I never thought about splitting it in half!! Thank you
CoCo Butter: I really love that you give different options depending on thickness of hair. My hair is so thick and curly... Well, yeah, you already get it, you know... Curly Hair Gang 4 Life.
Jennifer Loving: Absolute queen T_T As a curly haired girl, I cannot explain how exciting this video is for me
Helena Teixeira: Thank you, I was despairing with so many straight hair tutorials and how beautiful they were and how they impossible for me to follow I have wavy rather than curly hair, except in the tips. When the tips are very curly, it only goes to shoulder length. Also, it's very thin. I'm not sure how much success I'm going to have with your tutorial but for the first time I feel it's worth to give it a try ❤
Amy: My hair's really more wavy than curly, but I hadn't really thought about how that effects styling. I haven't cut it since before quarantine started, so now it's midway down my back and constantly reminding me why I haven't kept it long since early elementary, and causing situations that lead me to abusing it out of germophobia and convenience. (For instance, if I'm reaching leaning over the arm of my chair to try and retrieve an escaping remote, and it brushes the floor in the process, I default to spraying the tips with rubbing alcohol or rubbing hand sanitizer into them, because it's either that, immediately washing it with actual shampoo, or stewing in my brain's outrage at floor germs.) Since it's long though, I've using it as an opportunity to try and test out some updoes I have in mind for some characters in my writing, discovering that it's not quite long enough to work, and wondering how ridiculously long people's hair has to be get some things to work...I hadn't considered the waviness effecting anything, but that's probably been part of the problem...
lara silverman: I love all of these styles, so cute! What powder do you use? i've never actually experimented with hair powders but have considered it!
Melanie Rippon: My mixed-race floofy-haired self is SO HAPPY right now, because FINALLY - historical hairdos that will work!! (once said floof is a bit longer, tho, for a couple of the styles... #longhairgoals)
Mishy Hnyduik: Omg...can you PLEEEEASE do more curly hair tutorials? Seriously, if I could love react this video I would.
Kit La Touche: "Next Regency ball you're going to—when we can have those again."
Liss: I have no idea why this didn't pop up on my subscription box when this video was released, but these styles are EXACTLY what I've been looking for! ❤
melted dali: Thank you so much for this. My mom has straight hair and until recently I kept my hair in a short mop because I never learned any good styling or care for my curls as a child
Kimberlee Raper: Gorgeous! Well done!
Alison Emmert: I absolutely could not explain how my hair had more volume or width compared to its length! I kept getting so frustrated because my hair is so long, but I couldn’t do the cool long hairstyles that I’d see in tutorials. I have fine 3A(ish) hair, but a LOT of it. Thank you for explaining it for me!
Jacki H: Hair combs are great for creating that 18th c pouf! I use them every time I cut bangs and immediately regret it.
Amantia Menalla: Me, watching this while actively working on a 17th century shift, seeing you skip the 17th century: Interesting Jokes aside this was really interesting and it's great to see some curly haired historical rep! Will deff be trying them when my hair gets long enough
Yee: I had such a good time with this! Thanks!!
Chaos Craft : This is soooooo needed!! I have super fine hair, not that that is visible with my curls so ill have to do som translation but yes, good, more, awesome! I'm definitely going to try some of these out!
laartje24: Braids are my go to for my thick and very curly hair. That way my hair can't play tricks on me and it stays where it is supposed to stay throughout the day.
Mackenzie Blackwood: omg THANK YOU! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Ana Constantinescu: Yeeees. Thank you. With the exception of the braids, that in my hair look like a wet sad dog since my hair is shorter than yours. I still am finding a way to do the braids, or thank you pandemic I will grow my hair again. You just became my favorite person for the day.
Rachel Davis: I love this. Thank you so much.
Olivia Mikus: You have my dream head of hair—I would give anything for those curls. Instead, my hair is pin straight with about the same bounce and fluff as 6-week old roadkill. Stay golden and revel in that gorgeous, fiery volume, you magical creature you!
Shelley: As a fellow curly redhead who's forever snubbed by the straight haired historical hair tutorials, I'm so jazzed to be able to try some costumes that aren't simply "Merida". Especially because I don't use heat on my hair, so my options are a little limited. Thanks so much for the video!!!
Stuff: You look soooo divine when your hair is up!!
Sarah R.: Thank you! I needed this!
Cherry Davis: excellent information and instruction.
Speared Hound: If my hair was healthy and soft, I'd do these. Wish people actually realized I had curly, curly hair instead of treating it as paper thin for over a decade.
Corey Gilles: You make me ALMOST wish I still had long hair.
Allison James: Quite incredible how you can whip up styles in a few minutes that would have taken ages for the straight haired. Maybe we curly girls do have an advantage in life muahahahaha!
Anna Solovyeva: My hair has always been fluffy and i started on curly girl method this summer. Interesting, now it's nearly like yours. Could you please give me some advice on curly hair styling? I wonder i could find an universal diffusor that actually works. It's a must have since it's cold in my country.
Doe Taryn: This is so great :)
Tara P: I hope this doesn't come out wrong but - I love your nose! It adds definition and character to your expressions, and the goofy ones make me think of a red-headed Lilo!
Sharon Zohar: so i deffo tried the hair taping after seeing morgan do it, as I've been spending all of quarantine in 2 braids, and i pin those up milkmaid style when i dont feel like washing. Was glad to know I could break that out for when i start dipping my toes into reenactment spaces post-covid! The funny thing is, when i was in high school, playing around with fancy hair styles without any reference or historical knowledge, I ended up ""inventing"" for myself the exact style seen at 9:00 and it ended up being my go-to fancy hairstyle bc I still didn't know how to deal with my curls at that age and a braid is v good for hiding that fact :P
Rebecca Harden: You have beautiful hair!mine is super fine waves, straight, with curls underneath. Humidity is horrible!
Tammy Summers: My hair is to my waist and straight as a board but Im going to try these!
AdoraBell: It's so weird seeing someone with basically the same hair texture as me on the screen. I ended up just chopping all of mine off and getting a 20s bob but pre-covid times I used to tape it up for work using thread to keep it in place for 13 hour shifts.
Ari’elle O’Hara: Oh girl thank you!
Caitlyn Carvalho: can any of these hairstyles work in present day, for professional/fancy occasions/etc?
