Sure, maybe rarely it could not have been slaves, but having slave servants was extremely common. That's why the video explicitly mentions slave hairdressers.
I'm asian too, but when I hear "Anciant asian hairstyles" I think of ancient japanese kinda like geisha hairstyles or some chinese complex hairstyles with accessories
I'm not a communist if that is what you're trying to say. I'm just stating a fact. also you should really think about why you think communism is such a wild thing anyways? lol propaganda.
They had more time back then because the world moved slower and they didn't have countless distractions mostly through electronic devices and information technology.
Janet Stephens has a UA-cam channel if you're interested in more of her fascinating forensic hair dressing! The stuffy old dudes who do archiology thought that the kind of hair styles she does in this video must have been impossible for real women to achieve before Janet proved them wrong with only thread and hair sticks!
I started following Janet Stephens two years ago, and I got excited when I saw her on this video. I love her work, and got some very inspired ideas from her channel.
Whoa don't know why you felt the need to be so rude about my choice of college degree but okay. And fyi I have plenty of friends who have done the same degree as me and have found wonderful and fulfilling jobs. And I know many who choose to do more practical degrees and regret it. Plus i'm pretty sure secondary school teaching (which i'll be able to do with this degree) is an existent market with high demand.
That is amazing! Im going more on the Cultural Anthropology and Food&Society route. Im taking some Archaeology courses and let me tell you.. thats my thing. So much respect for you :)
Megan McGrath awww thats a damned shame! For me its my second career. We didnt had a good course in my home country (mexico) so i did something else and now i moved to USA to pursue this :). Best of luck with your studies! Im sure you will be amazing in your field!
Can I just say that Shila's hair looks sooo much healthier now compared to when she did the video on wearing her natural curls for the first time. Them curls be popping!!
As an archeology student it's very interesting to see videos like this! Sure it's experimental archeology, but that's what's fun about it. I would have guessed that they would use styles goddesses wore like Artemis and Hera, not just Venus. Or maybe some styles through the different periods and/or social statuses.
Syrena Reynolds I don't think I said that? I mean you're right, but I didn't say anything against that? Even though it's very interesting regarding what is Greek and what is Roman in terms of statues and their motives. Many Roman status borrow heavily from Greek ones, in terms of composition, motives, body language, sometimes even the whole thing was just copied (especially the ones depicting mythological creatures). But they used very different materials with which the Roman one being way more brittle and such.
@@Akatsukispion sorry i just thought you meant that because you said it'd be interesting to use other goddesses such as Artemis and Hera along with Venus, so i kinda interpreted that as use of greek styles/statues as well
It was so cool to see these on curly hair because usually if you google curly hairstyles the only thing that appears is hairstyles for very obviously curled hair
From an artistic standpoint, with the Flavian style, I never thought about how the statue's hair with it's tight curls in the front could simply be an artist's rendition of generic "curly hair". I thought it was literally made up of those tight curls. This will actually make me look at ancient statues differently from now on.
@@taritangeo4948 haha, parallel park braids :) actually, you can. Just grab a bit of the hair from both braids in the pin. But in a lot of cases this becomes unnecessary if you use modern techniques. It depends on the style. In the case of buns for example, you can use a large elastic to gather the braids. Since the elastic is hidden at the end, it still looks perfect.
FINALLY miss janet is getting the clout she deserves, I've been watching her for years and she's so incredibly knowledgeable and informative. please check out her youtube channel (it's just under janet stephens) if you find this interesting, she's done many historical hairstyles from ancient to more modern!
I have to say it's really neat to see complex historical hairstyles that work for hair like mine. Most videos for hairstyles fall in one of two categories: care for very curly hair (cornrows, box braids, etc.) or videos with women with extremely straight, shiny hair that show you how to french braid your own hair in two minutes -- which doesn't have a prayer of working if you have thick, wavy "ethnic" hair. It's so nice to see styles that not only work for thick "ethnic" hair but that require it!
@@IceColdIntrigue no, not really -- they wouldn't put the thread into another needle and reverse it out, that's impossible to do. They would need to cut it or pull it out with their fingers so your answer is already incorrect.
The stitching's actually really easy to take out, I've done loads of times. It's a really great alternative to bobby pins as it doesn't hurt your scalp at all :)
Since you don't really knot the string (except on itself), you should just be able to pull it out from one end or the other. The benefit of using woolen yarn (acrylic craft yarn might work too, I'm not sure) is that it has lots of fuzzies and flyaways that grab onto your hair and help hold the thread in place, but because each tiny fiber is so long, the majority of each one is still caught up in the main part of the twist so it stays on the thread when you take it out.
Elizaveta. Nope, Hera was 100% Greek too. Greeks had the oldest and unique civilization, everybody copy Greeks. Go to school slav you're uneducated as f@ck
I’d love to watch more of these. This is so so interesting. I would have never thought of using a needle and thread for hair (you know other than for a weave)
Well done for actually getting a historian that specialises in recreating these hairstyles as they would have been done instead of just getting any hair stylist to try and recreate them from the statues
These hairstyles would also look right at home in a Jane Austen movie. I think that fashion period in England was also inspired by Greco-Roman aesthetics?
You are correct. The Regency hairstyles and fashion (specifically the women's) were inspired by the Greco-Roman, as you can look at some portraits during that era and hence the Neo-Classicism movement that started.
Long hair in many societies meant you were wealthy, BUT for the most part hair length was determined by location, fashion, and hygiene. Shaved heads with wigs were popular in some cultures, for instance.
I'll say it in short... The Richer you are the longer hair you have. People who were working with cows or on field they where cutting it in bob because they didn't have time for hair😊♥️
Zeina Ian there are lots of videos on ancient hairstyles. The channel Kaptorga made one on hairstyles and then there's a red haired girl recreating real ones and styles from TV shows. She's amazing (but I forgot her name)
this might just be my gay showing but i think those two archaelogists have couple hair?? like the first one only colored the top of her hair and the second one colored only the bottom and they have the same colors, blue and pink
Oh my gosh they're 2 different people! I hadnt noticed until reading this comment Haha I feel so oblivious now! I thought there was just 1 person who did both the museum tour and hair styling
This was actually super cool! I just love the history and to see how they figured out such things without modern tools! Although it seems like a lot of work, realizing that they didn't wash their hair often means you don't have to take it out regularly!
This vid is what is needed now a days. I'm sick of this whole cultural apporiating bull crap. Look how far back weaves go. It's not just a black/brown thing. People need to get over this crap and just embrace all that beauty has to offer!
This hairstylist has so much talent!
She has her own channel too.

right! i love the venus's style
R Scott what is it your sister, cousin, or something?
As a hairdresser it's actually very basic
Caricatura
This is the kind of educational content that I like! The Venus hairstyle was so pretty and I think without the bow in the front, it could be a beautiful wedding hairstyle
I'm highkey stealing that hairstyle just without the bow
Venus is also the goddess of beauty and love so perfect for a wedding!
or you can replica the bow with crown or something
Angel Lewis it already is (without the bow)
Especially for women with that gorgeous curly hair
I remember Shila did not like her curls and straightened it every day religiously. I’m so happy that she is starting to embracing her curls and hopefully that this experience for her also helped her in accepting her natural beauty with her curls! 💕💕 Shila, keep rocking those curls! 💕
also her curls are absolutely gorgeous??/ andd im jealous
I think like a month ago she was styled by a hair stylist who gave her a lot of tips and I can visibly see that hair is healthier now.
Ikr! She looks wonderful with them! I want curls too but, alas my hair isn't naturally curly
Are you kidding, her curls are gorgeous! I watched this video and wished my hair was like that!
Acient women had lot of time and patience... M lazy to even tie a pony
Shraddha Jen not only am I more lazy, I don’t like them. ITS PAINFUL
The ancient women they studied from would've had a lot of servants to do their hair
They didn’t have internet or electricity no entertainment
the video literally says they were slaves at 6:11
Sure, maybe rarely it could not have been slaves, but having slave servants was extremely common. That's why the video explicitly mentions slave hairdressers.
This video is one of thos raaaare ones in buzzfeed that is actually really really good!
they should try edwardian or victorian hairstyles ! 😍😍
Avealine Evelyn Edwardian hair was a lot like Flavian hair just tighter curls that sat more on top of the head
YES
I'd love to see them try to recreate the Gibson Girl hair styles. They were so elegantly flamboyant
they should do asian version of this!!
i agree!
isn't that cultural appropriation? (Unless other asians wear them that is)
I think they were talking about doing ancient asian hairstyle ya know
Are there Asian hairstyles? I’m Asian and have never seen any styles, like I’ve only seen straight hair or someone with their hair in a bun
I'm asian too, but when I hear "Anciant asian hairstyles" I think of ancient japanese kinda like geisha hairstyles or some chinese complex hairstyles with accessories
Wow this was so cool!! It was awesome they used the ancient techniques to do the hair too. Beautiful.
Janet Stephens (the woman in the video) has a UA-cam channel where she only does ancient techniques for different time periods, if you liked this one.
StarUnreachable awesome! I’ll check it out :)
*when the ancient peeps can style hair better than you*

Next time someone asks me what kinda job I can get with a degree in Archaeology and Classical Studies i'll just have to point them to this video
Megan McGrath good job wasting your money for a non existent market. I'll see you making my McDonald's

This was super interesting and fun to watch. I love learning about ancient women.
Lilianna cloud me too

The woman who had the Venus hair style is ethereal! She's a true classic beauty.

The last hairstyle was so intricate, fascinating to watch the braid parallels and curling technique :D
Does the stylist have a UA-cam channel? I wanna learn things
Yes! Just search Janet Stephens or forensic hair dressing

Thanks guys! 😊
@@leannsmarie lol. I had been watching her years ago and I never realised this was her in the video.
These hairstyles look hard asf to do
ikr
That why you had slaves to do it for you
with period methods, yes. with bobby pins, not really.
@@sophiejones7727 you cant parralel park braids like that with bobby pins
@@taritangeo4948 haha, parallel park braids :) actually, you can. Just grab a bit of the hair from both braids in the pin.

anyone else notice the dude was on incognito mode at 8:50 what r u hiding sir
Apparently we can stitch hair
One word Weaves
I like Everything! !!! Right, cause I was gonna say sew-ins
Kyng King, you sure about that?
....huh? What are you talking about? Persian, some arab tribes, egypt and hittite women thread their hair.
You can probably stitch anything that moves :D
3:38 Maybe that's where Naoko Takeuchi got the idea to put a red bow in Sailor Venus' hair.
Any Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus/Trials of Apollo fans??
(saw this and i knew there'd be some Greek/Roman hairstyles)
HERE
No
You're....you're alive! I thought the fandom died out years ago, the stores in my town left us to die, I didn't think anyone else was out there!!
I AM HERE
Hi
Venus is a Roman goddess. Aphrodite is the Greek goddess...
They are the same person.
Aphrodite is the goddess of live and her Roman name is Venus.
AHHHH it sounded like she ripped those curls apart
Ebs FroFrenzy I’m glad I’m not the only one who heard it! The second woman’s hair, right?
Avonelle Davis yes!!! It really hurt my heart.
Did you like you own comment?
it was so cringy. white people need to learn how to handle POC hair if they want to be called hairstylists.
I was stressed. Her face even looked like she heard it too!

How they gunna take that out of their hair though.....
Same way they put it in. It's just thread.
If I remember correctly from my Roman studies class - they would just cut the strings for the more intricate styles and brush the hair out as normal.
With their hands.
@@IceColdIntrigue no, not really -- they wouldn't put the thread into another needle and reverse it out, that's impossible to do. They would need to cut it or pull it out with their fingers so your answer is already incorrect.
It actually looks like they were developing nice curls when it was taken out
Emily Nelson Especially the Caltilia style!
ah they probably had so many knots in their hair trying to take it out 😬😬
(edit: TYSM FOR ALL THE LIKES!! HOW??💕💕)
The stitching's actually really easy to take out, I've done loads of times. It's a really great alternative to bobby pins as it doesn't hurt your scalp at all :)
your pal, Ren worth it
katheriner10 do you know any videos that show you how exactly to do it?
I have hard time securing the bobby pin how do people do knots :0
Since you don't really knot the string (except on itself), you should just be able to pull it out from one end or the other. The benefit of using woolen yarn (acrylic craft yarn might work too, I'm not sure) is that it has lots of fuzzies and flyaways that grab onto your hair and help hold the thread in place, but because each tiny fiber is so long, the majority of each one is still caught up in the main part of the twist so it stays on the thread when you take it out.
This was so interesting : ] I want to learn more
Katherine Nava that's what Wikipedia is for my dude
Janet Stephens has a channel all about ancient hair styles, along with some medieval and 19th century looks. It’s under her name.
The way she rolls the curls with her fingers is so satisfying.
Correction: This statue is Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love. Venus is Roman copy of Aphrodite!
Exactly, uneducated video
Yup even the children know it
Greeks were copycats too.
Hera was based on Asherah
Aphrodite on Inanna/Ishtar
Shut up
Elizaveta. Nope, Hera was 100% Greek too. Greeks had the oldest and unique civilization, everybody copy Greeks. Go to school slav you're uneducated as f@ck
@@tatttnagorbaysota5210 my bf would puke on how wrong you are
More Please!!! This was FASCINATING! The hairstylist is a BOSS! So confident and talented!!
The empress and Venus styles look fantastic. I think the Caltilia look would have been better if her hair were as short as it is supposed to be.
The hairstylist(Janet Stevens) is so talented.I love it.
This was so interesting ! I had no idea all these hairstyles took so much sewing !
They all have gorgeous hair! As a stylist, I loved seeing the techniques used and now I want to go play around with them!
I’d love to watch more of these. This is so so interesting. I would have never thought of using a needle and thread for hair (you know other than for a weave)

More, more, more of this excellent content! Loooooooove history so much, and seeing it in action...so awesome!!!
I’d love for them to this with ancient hair of African decent but most of them are braids and cornrows and that would take too long
I love Janet Stevens. She is always so thorough in her explanations of how she comes about doing the style.
We need to bring back these hairstyles! A little tedious, but awesome!
I love this! Especially the way that lady did the curls for the last hairstyle.
This hairstylist is incredible. She's a true artist. I would bet that she does consulting for period films.
Well done for actually getting a historian that specialises in recreating these hairstyles as they would have been done instead of just getting any hair stylist to try and recreate them from the statues
The hairstylist is great and I love her narrative and how she explains while walking through the process
Oh my god, Janet Stephens! I love her!
The Venus one is gorgeous.
Props to the stylist who managed to recreate each hairdo!
It would’ve been interesting to see more hairstyles that would translate for modern day living. Combining history and the present.
Kudos for the 3 ladies for their patience to detangle the hair.Thats a lot of work!👏
And u realise that the ancient hair dressers were better🙎
I mean, they certainly valued hairstyles and being appropriate over hair health
I died at 4:22 as the hairdresser RIPPED through the tangles in the curls, you could even hear it *cries*
These hairstyles would also look right at home in a Jane Austen movie. I think that fashion period in England was also inspired by Greco-Roman aesthetics?

I would do the first one minus the bow
Finally a video that I find genuinely interesting, having written an essay on flavian hairstyles last semester
Do Viking hair next!
Janet Stephens have the most wonderful hair tutorials ever, so inspiring!
wow this was fascinating. so much time and effort
shiela and her hair in the thumbnail
she was so adorable
I wonder what would you do if you had shorter hair, or did women use not cut their hair short back then?
Ophelia Jackson Cool, I don’t know much about ancient hair styles so, you know
Long hair in many societies meant you were wealthy, BUT for the most part hair length was determined by location, fashion, and hygiene. Shaved heads with wigs were popular in some cultures, for instance.
I'll say it in short... The Richer you are the longer hair you have. People who were working with cows or on field they where cutting it in bob because they didn't have time for hair😊♥️
Jammy Jamster Yup, Ancient Nubian's wore natural hair in locs or braids, and the royals wore huge elaborate braided wigs.
I wish there was a women who cut her hair to make a statement back then, ugh we love a feminist icon
The stylist is very talented and they all looked beautiful.
This was really interesting and educational, you should do other time periods like Viking hair or Victorian hair or something.
Zeina Ian there are lots of videos on ancient hairstyles. The channel Kaptorga made one on hairstyles and then there's a red haired girl recreating real ones and styles from TV shows. She's amazing (but I forgot her name)
Check out Silvousplaits channel on UA-cam.
The archaeologist's voice was so soothing.
Imagine taking this out 😬
just cut the string and brush through the hair until all the string is gone.
Watching Sheila’s curl transformation/journey has honestly made me so happy :)))
lmao most days i just brush my hair and call it a day HAHA
This woman is rocking pink and blue. So cuteeeeeeeee. You go girl
If she was doing that to my hair I would silently freak bc she kept saying stitch and sew and needle 😂😂
The Venus hairstyle is soooo pretty! I would totally wear it but maybe without the bow🤷🏽♀️❤️
this might just be my gay showing but i think those two archaelogists have couple hair?? like the first one only colored the top of her hair and the second one colored only the bottom and they have the same colors, blue and pink
Alecx Ruiz I also thought it might be the bi-flag
I genuinely thought they were the same person and was scrolling through he comments for similar theories 😂
Oh my gosh they're 2 different people! I hadnt noticed until reading this comment Haha I feel so oblivious now! I thought there was just 1 person who did both the museum tour and hair styling
I'm not seeing it. They don't sound the same at all, nor do they look the same at all. The hair stylist has short hair, no added color. So....nah.
Alecx Ruiz lol Maybe they are just bffs or simply one inspired the other? Though I did wonder that myself for some reason....about being a couple 😅
I'd love to see this with even more cultures! This was cool!
You rocking them girls
