For anyone who's interested - I found another good one here
Some hardcore historicals here:

It's a little academic, but many of them are easily adapted to modern methods.
Also, check out the tutorials on American Dutchess. She has great how tos and also shows how to with wigs if you don't want to backcomb and tease your own hair into a hedgehog style.

Ooo yes I really enjoy her tutorials Tisiloves! Thanks for the suggestion
I've never come across this one before GaJunebug. Looks like there's some great stuff on there (and the costumes are so pretty!). Thank you!
Yes, Tisiloves, thanks so much for sharing this link to Janet Stephens' videos on hairstyle archaeology. I learned something from the one on Julia (something) 2 that I did not know before. She mentioned her theory that Julia must have suffered from 'distal-side androgenic alopecia.' She showed how the before and after braids are so different in thickness, especially toward the ends.
I googled this condition and from what I found, I believe I have it too. I have entire areas of my head where the terminal length is only about six inches, mostly on my lower areas, not on the canopy so much. If you look at my "Hair Weaknesses" album, you can see what I mean.
Anyway, it was good to see that women have dealt with this in creative ways, even in antiquity.
Ooh.. I need to look it up but there is a youtube channel of a forensic hair dresser. Its amazingly beautiful! You'd need a partner to do most of them as she does the styles by replicating the methods used originally.
