An article about 17th century hair

Lady Margaret Tufton by David des Granges, 1638-1650

Some time ago, in February, I approached Your Wardrobe Unlock’d and asked if they might be interested in two articles about 17^th century hair and makeup. To my delighted surprise they were and the first article went live today. I feel quite exited, I can tell you! The subject is the woman’s hairstyle that was popular for the whole mid-part of the 17^th century where the hair was put in a chignon in the back and the side hair was hanging down around the ears. In my article I go through the key variations of it and also how to set and style a wig. The next article that will be up next month, is about makeup during the same period.
