Is it actually done with real hair (as opposed to a pin on type of postiche/hairpiece)?

Is it found throughout Germany or only in certain regions?

Thanks!!

I think there was a thread about this a while ago...I'm going to search for it. :)

I can't find it now (I'm so sorry :(), but I definitely remember seeing that braided hairstyle in an LHC thread...I even remember that the women used to spend some time without undoing the hairstyle...

Thanks for trying, Kouran! I first saw a pic over at the German Long Hair Network but as I don't read German I couldn't get any info.

It looks like this is in Bayern which is a specific part Germany (the rich part :P). I personally have never seen this type of braid in Germany.

Certainly never saw it when I was in Bayern. (Which, granted, was only for a month...)
