Just saw this article on my facebook feed and couldn't wait to share it with the LHC.

It's about ancient Roman and Greek hairstyles.

Pretty! Thank you for posting.

ETA: I've been on a kick about researching ancient hair and styles of dress lately, so this is well-timed. :)

Thanks PrincessIdril. I thought there must be something on here, but my search didn't turn it up. Glad you got them linked together.

Have any of y'all tried sewing your 'do in place with yarn or something like that?
Like Janet Stephens says, if you could sew it in place, it'd theoretically stay there till you took it out,
and allow a more elaborate hairstyle.
I'm fascinated by this stuff, thanks guys.
