I don't think Sissi used hairpieces... Her hair was notoriously of an exceptional thickness and gave her major headaches. That style is really beautiful ! I'm sad I don't have extensions do recreate it.
Actually I've read somewhere she had a maid just for collecting her loose hair strands that had fallen out and they were braided into her braids later.
@@annam.8369 I think there are so many anecdotes. I read somewhere that she was so obsessed with her hair not falling out that she would inspect the hairbrushes and if there were hair in them she would throw a fit. So her hairdresser put a sticky tape in her apron and would sneakily pass the brush over it so the tape would pick up the hair. Its quite funny hehe
If she was anorexic, I'm certain she had to wear hair peices. I wasnt even that thin before I recovered from mine but I had it falling out by the hand full daily.
No, Fanny Feifalik, her hairdresser hide Elisabeth's hair that was fallen out behind her apron. Would she use it later for hairpieces Elisabeth would know how many hair she lost...
Eleanor of Aquitaine - a wonderful woman from the middle ages, notorious not only for her outstanding beauty, but also for her courage. She was the mother of Richard the Lionheart :)
My goodness! I have been binge-watching some of her videos, and she really does "the work of five people" with her historical hairstyles! One can see that she really loved what she is doing, or else, she wouldn't spend so much time recreating the looks of Empress Elisabeth or the Queen Marie Antoinette. I admire her for that.
Hi, I know she was not real but maybe one day you could make Scarlett O´Hara from Gone with the wind? But anything that youll make will be great so Im excited to see more.
Sissi was my favourite Royal Diary to read. I absolutely loved the 1950s film series as well. Love the hair style, you are one of my new favourite youtubers!
Nice video, I'm really interested in Elisabeth as a historical person. Have you seen the SIssi films with Romy Shcneider from the 50's? They have really nice hairstyles and costume, though the plot is not exactly historically accurate.. There is also a musical named "Elizabeth" which is very good!
@@monikalynn8527 She wasn't bald. And she had pretty extensive hair and skincare routine. Her perfume was made of cinnamon, some flowers, which I can't remember, and other ingredients. She always used perfumes. Can't believe you're jealous of even dead people!!
@@monikalynn8527 That's an earlier Egyptian style, she lived in the Ptolemaic era where royal women would've worn Greek styles in non-ceremonial contexts. It was only really priests and priestesses who were fully bald, with wigs being used to add volume to hair. Animal skins also weren't used on hair, though perfumes wax cones were during formal situations. Straight hair wasn't really worn either, with predominant styles among upper class women being braids, curls, and crimped tresses. I'd recommend reading Joann Fletcher's thesis on hair throughout the dynasties.
Amazing! You nailed it! Sisi was and still is an inspiring and quite interesting figure. Not your usual empress :) I loved to watch the animated series about her when I was small. Even when I got older and visited Vienna, I was so amazed by an exhibition dedicated just to her. But I had no idea about how she would make herself look so beautiful. And it's also pretty amazing that her grave in the Habsburg family tomb is one of the rarest that has lots of flowers on it. People still adore her, even after a 100 years after she died! For the next Beauty Beacon I nominate Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen of England, Joan of Arc and saint Helena, empress of the Roman empire. They were all quite influental in terms of politics and war, but I believe they too had to maintain a certain image (: LOVE all your beauty history series! Keep up the good work :D
I realize this video is a couple years old but your Beauty Beacons series is so good, I’ve found myself having to watch every single one of them. Your transformations, and history lessons, are fantastic!
Miss Loepsie, I think you've done a marvelous job at recreating the famous signature coiffure of Empress Elizabeth of Austria. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that her hairdresser, Frau Fanny Angerer, might have sewn those braided loops together rather than rely on hairpins. I've watched the "Sissi" trilogy with Romy Schneider so many times, oogling the few braided loop hairstyle scenes. Of course it was a wig Romy used, but Elizabeth had fabulous, thick hair so I don't think she resorted to extensions. Sissi's sisters also adopted the famous style. Thanks for a lovely video.
Vivien Leigh wore a very similar hairstyle to this in Gone with the Wind (the scene where she watches Ashley and Melanie go upstairs). I always wondered how she achieved that wall of braids at the back - now I know!
I participate in medieval reenactment and love your Beauty Beacons hair and makeup. I am not sure if I missed it or you haven't done her yet, I would love to see some hairstyles from Queen Elizabeth I. Keep doing what you do- you are beautiful and inspiring!
I think I found your channel about two weeks and I probably watch like three of your vids in a day lol. I like that you're not pandering to the Instagram crap makeup. I also love all things historical beauty.
This was amazing, i love that you put so much effort into it! The hair was difficult, but you made it look so easy - genius! Looking forward to see more:)
hi :) can you do a sultan look from ottoman empire,you really look like pelin karahan who played as mihrimah sultan in tv show called magnificent century.
@@pureangelsweet I hate it cuz they are not depicting the ottoman empire,especially Sultan Suleyman accurate to history. This series is full of lies. They have never shown their wifes or mothers (in this clothes!) to foreign (non-mahram) men or soldiers. Its just a shame!
As I was reading an article in National Geographic History's May/June 2019 issue, I kept thinking, "I need to recommend this beauty beacon to Loepsie!" But, when I looked, you had already covered it, long ago! :) For anyone who likes Empress Sisi, there's a nice article about her in this issue.
Amazing. I have always searched for a good recreation of her hairstyle and I have never found one that is both authentic and manageable with normal hair. But you´ve mastered it! You are ingenious - seriously. And you make a beautiful Sisi too ;)
Thank you for this video! I stared so much time onto her portrets trying to figure out how was the back of the hairstyle done - and now I know how :) Thank you!
Also, I think this may be difficult but how about something on the Four Beauties of ancient China, since most of what you've covered to this point has been mainly western beauty standards?
I love your different historical series's. This one was very interesting, I didn't know who she was before this video and the hair is lovely. Do you have any suggestion for an eyebrow product that could re draw in eyebrows for someone who lost them due to cancer and is older with dark brown hair? Historical Beauty Icons: Sophia Loren, Natalie Wood, Nefertiti, Helen of Troy, Rita Hayworth, Juliette Récamier
+Katie Joannas Anastasia Bevery Hills have the best eyebrow products. There's a whole range of different products that you can combine to create natural looking eyebrows- I'd suggest going to a counter to ask for advise & colour matching :)
when we study european history in school, it focuses more on british history and at that, just an overall coverage, not in depth. but we also study some native american history that is probably not covered in europe. i only knew who she was because i enjoy european period pieces and watched a series on her that was made around the 50s?
I honestly havent met anyone (non german/austrian that is) that does not know her... So this surprises me. Her story is told to be one of the greatest love storys in european history (although it was more politics than romance involved) and there are tons of historians and novelist fascinated by her We studied mostly german history in school but covered every other important period of other countries, even native american. This just restored my faith in my local schooling system :D
You never fail to amaze me with these videos from your history series. You combine two of my favorites, history and beauty. I'd love to see you do one of Anne boleyn's looks and someone from an Asian background, if you're ok with it. Great video!
💗 So beautiful! You did a wonderful job! What about doing a tutorial of the White Queen's hair from the movie? I think she had many different styles and they were pretty extravagant. Thanks.
I have been watching you since then , you're so lovely , and you are amazing the way you do your hairstyles. I love the retro styles ,how I wish that I live during 19s.
This was amazing, brilliant start to the new series! Can't wait for the next ones :) my (many) requests are: Queen Elizabeth I, Anne Boleyn, Vampira, a Geisha, Marie Antoinette, Elizabeth Bathory, Boudicca, Grace Kelly... I guess that's it :P
Gosh nice work ! Sissi's hair is definitely a challenge, well done :) I'd love to see you do maharani Gayatri Devi, she was an amazing woman and a great beauty icon !
I love this! My grandmother used to tell me about Sissi!! Maybe for another icon you could do Audrey Hepburn, probably more of a makeup/fashion thing than hair, but it could still be fun! Thanks, and this was great!!
Hello! Do you have another video with the hair tutorial? I saw bits of it in this video, but there were so many interruptions that I got frustrated. Thank you!
The hairstyle perhaps felt more comfortable using a blunt needle and thread to sew together the plaits, instead of pokey bobby pins - but that definitely requires a second set of hands lol. A beautiful hairstyle! You're a genius to be able to reverse engineer and recreate such hairstyles!!!
Maud of Wales is just gorgeous to me! Her hair was sooo thick and always in this beautiful updo that went perfectly with her crowns. Her face seemed flawless very much in its natural state. Pleaseeee do her. 🙏🏾
Kudos to you for recreating her hairstyle beautifully, but it was all her hair, I would like to mention. Because of her lengh the braids seemes to be thicker when wrapped around like that. We actually have a life size wig, a recreation of her actual hair, in the palace where she used to live (Schönbrunn). Her hair was so thick and heavy, they had to lift it up in the evenings, so it wouldn't pull down on her scalp (which caused her migraines)... I can only imagine the pain she went through...my hair is only at bum length, but I get migraines so often because it is so thick and heavy. Still I love it to death tho...wouldn't give it up for the world! Even once I went to the dresses so she can trim the ends and that witch cut 25cm of my hair because she said it wasn't healthy (completely not true). Since then I've only went to one hair dresser that only cuts when the ends split and I have reached a length of about 105cm, and my hair is really healthy - I cut the ends every 2 months.
I don't think Sissi used hairpieces... Her hair was notoriously of an exceptional thickness and gave her major headaches. That style is really beautiful ! I'm sad I don't have extensions do recreate it.
Three years later I just found this video and was about to say the same. Also her hair was naturally wavey which would have added volume :D
Actually I've read somewhere she had a maid just for collecting her loose hair strands that had fallen out and they were braided into her braids later.

The German musical "Elisabeth" is one of my favorites!! I was so excited to see you did a video about her!
Mary Praught the Videos of the Musical are a great Ressource for her hairstyles
Eleanor of Aquitaine - a wonderful woman from the middle ages, notorious not only for her outstanding beauty, but also for her courage. She was the mother of Richard the Lionheart :)
I second this idea!
(And named my daughter after her :) )
+rosalynanna really? how wonderful :) best wishes to you and to your daughter, Eleanor!
rosalynanna so is mine!! favorite woman in history
Katie Archer Good choice! :D Nice to meet another mother of an Eleanor - people are always mispronouncing her name!x

Anne Boleyn, Marie-Antoinette, Lucrezia Borgia :)

Sorry but *Schneider
The musical is named Elisabeth. Elisabeth das musical. Sorry for being annoying about it but I am obsessed over the musical-
@@artemisia5663 It sure is! Autocorrect got me again 💃Even wrote it correctly the first time😂

I think Anne Boleyn and Cleopatra would be perfect for this series :)

I agree. From Miami
Cleopatra was bald and only wore two different hair styles wigs , a shoulder length straight bob, and longer dreaded one with scented animal skins
Monika.. that isn't true. There were other styles she wore.

Madame de Pompadour,, Lucretia Borgia, Catharina of Aragon
This is a lovely new series!
As usually, I like the fact that you combine beauty-related subjects with historical facts.

Oh Sisi every long haired woman once or twice fantasized about recreating that style. One day I'll give it a shot. You look very pretty.
When you announced you were doing a beauty icons series, Sissy was the first person I thought of. Great video!
SO pretty! Great job Lucy!
I participate in medieval reenactment and love your Beauty Beacons hair and makeup. I am not sure if I missed it or you haven't done her yet, I would love to see some hairstyles from Queen Elizabeth I. Keep doing what you do- you are beautiful and inspiring!
I love that pearl necklace. Lovely reproduction of the look. Well done!
love your videos! I would really enjoy seeing how Queen Elizabeth the First made her hair look so fabulous!
It's an absolute pleasure watching your videos. Keep them coming Loepsie ;)
I love watching you and getting some information about historical women of the world thank you so much... keep up the good work!
I love this series!! I can't wait to see more!
Amazing! I would really love to see Anne Boleyn, Henry the 8th second wife. I always love her.

You are so gorgeous!!! Please recreate the looks for Nefertiti or Cleopatra.
Your hair is so smooth and soft, I am envious.

I went to Sisi's palace in Corfu last week :D
Hello! Do you have another video with the hair tutorial? I saw bits of it in this video, but there were so many interruptions that I got frustrated. Thank you!
The hairstyle perhaps felt more comfortable using a blunt needle and thread to sew together the plaits, instead of pokey bobby pins - but that definitely requires a second set of hands lol. A beautiful hairstyle! You're a genius to be able to reverse engineer and recreate such hairstyles!!!
omg i´m gonna love that series.
i would love to see ann boleyn. lucrezia borgia, katherin the great or queen victoria :D
Love this!!
Would using thread or wool to attach the braids be easier, and last longer than pins? (as in earlier eras, esp. greco-roman)
It would definitely last longer and look better, but I'm not sure it would be easier to do on one's own hair. It's worth a try though! :)
Maud of Wales is just gorgeous to me! Her hair was sooo thick and always in this beautiful updo that went perfectly with her crowns. Her face seemed flawless very much in its natural state. Pleaseeee do her. 🙏🏾
You should definitely do Katherine the great!!
you look like a princess, beautiful.
Loepsie you is amazing ....
A viking celtic braided look would be awosome as well.
I love this new series! I suggest Mary, Queen of Scots and Marlene Dietrich.
A much more comfortable way to attach the braids together would be to sew them together with a blunt needle and embroidery thread
Kudos to you for recreating her hairstyle beautifully, but it was all her hair, I would like to mention. Because of her lengh the braids seemes to be thicker when wrapped around like that.
