I want to say to you, that braiding ribbon in was 100% used in 19th century, my grandma showed it to me, because it's the way how her grandma made her hair when she was a kid. But you loop the ribbon around the root of the braid.
This was in my recommended and I thought the video was going to be about why using hair elastic was bad for hair.......well, I was wrong but stayed till the end because I got interested.
i was thinking the exact same when she was getting excited about her favorite style. i don’t particularly love the style, but it made me so happy to see her doing something she loved that’s not necessarily conventional
for Russians, single braid was for the unmarried, and double braids were for the married (because you could put them up and hide under the headdress). there was a whole ritual of splitting the braid, songs about it, etc. it wasn't a thing for nobility after Peter the Great though, because he made the nobility to follow Western European fashions. lower classes still did this up until the Soviet times.
Wow, that’s awesome. And it’s funny how we in Western Europe (or the countries that Western Europe colonised) see them as the opposite- double braids are a child’s hairstyle. I wonder exactly when that happened? Because we know that double braids were still very much an adult hairstyle up through the renaissance even in Western Europe. And I know the single braid was seen as an easy informal “down” hairstyle right up until Victorian times. Wearing a single braid down was good only for sleeping or around the house. It wasn’t really until Edwardian times that we started to see the single plait or braid (in Australia we differentiate between plaits and braids- a plait begins with all the hair, a braid is when you incorporate more hair along the way, in Australia anyway), that was left down and finished with a bow at the end, on the street. Before that, adult women would “put their hair up” and it was that “putting your hair up” that was the rite of passage from girlhood to womanhood. Thank you so much for your comment. It’s always so lovely to learn about different cultures. We all have hair, but everyone sees it and does it differently. It has different meanings across societies and time. It’s just awesome.
I’m not sure why this was in my recommended but it was so therapeutic I watched the entire thing! AND the fact that you managed to figure out how to do the styles just by looking at the portraits and paintings is insane! You’re so talented
I think it's important to remember that it's highly unlikely that most women would have been doing these hairstyles completely alone... Even poor and working class women usually lived with an older woman (mom, grandma, aunt's, etc), children, sisters, etc, who would have been able to help each other with their hair. Plus having natural hair grease from not using modern shampoos and soaps would have helped things stay in place better too lol.
I think its important to rememeber that when you have long hair and centuries of unchanging hair fashion it's *not hard* to learn to do a singular style neatly on yourself. I had long hair and did double duch braids on my head, while sleepy in early morning ,without any mirror, and people were fooled into believing someone did them for me.
Interesting fact, I have a friend that learned as a young man modeling that you can keep your hair clean by just rinsing with water every day. He had great looking hair but when he told me this , he said he hadn't washed his hair with shampoo in a decade. He just showered it and that's it.
I have absolutely no interest in historical hairstyles, but you were so excited for cracking the code for the ribbons and so happy to share that I stayed for the entire video and actually enjoyed it!
Watching this as a black person, it's really interesting seeing the effort put into keeping hair braided. If I braid my hair all the way to the tips, the ends will just kind of naturally knot together and hold themselves in place, so I've never really needed to tie the ends unless for stylistic reasons. So it's interesting to see the different methods that were used by people with straighter hair to hold hair in place, as is something I would have never thought about otherwise. The ribbon is really pretty too, it's amazing how something meant to hold hair in place can also be so pretty.
@@mandie492 yeah, cause even if the hair has just been washed and combed, it's so curly that it'll intertwine together anyways. The hair looks good cause it's been taken care of, and that's just the state it's supposed to be in. But if a black person didn't comb their hair and just wore it out the way they woke up, it would also look pretty bad lol
Starting out with Asian hair that's super glossy and keeps falling out of every elastic these methods were actually very helpful add a lot security... I'm kinda envious of your hair
Not gonna lie, I've been watching a lot of like "horror movies explained" videos recently so when that door slid open and you peaked out I got just a little spooked
I didn't realize it was her at first (this is my first video) and I thought someone like a sister was coming in. I was waiting for the door to bump her elbow or for her to react in some way.
I've never cared so much about medieval hairstyles! You just seem so excited and passionate, it's really nice to listen to someone just nerding out about their interests. Also that ribbon braid is so cute!!
Me: *has hair so short I can't pull it all into a single ponytail* Also me: *intently watches ALL the historical hair tutorials that all require waist-length hair*
The Tudor Tailor had a video on how to do hair tapping for shorter hair at some point. I don't know if it's still up. Granted it was as a fondation for various Tudor headcoverings, so it wasn't meant ot be seen and so not super neat or pretty, but there are ways.
@@Trageberaterin Yes she did, it isn't very common but usually it's part of national-costume or with those type of semi-historical clothes. You may have to look for websites in swedish tho, or maybe in norweigan, I think it's called the same.
@@Trageberaterin Sorry, I missed an "n"... Oppombindning is the correct spelling. This is a good tutorial on how you do it on yourself with long hair emmafrost.se/2013/05/11/att-gora-oppombindning-pa-sig-sjalv/ but if you cannot get your hair to reach back into one single ponytail you can make one behind each ear instead and ad hair extensions or even yarn to fill out what is more or less a ribbon covered wreath when you are finished.
As a curly haired person, the fact that you can tie a piece of ribbon in your hair and then get it out again with both hair and ribbon intact was the most amazing thing about this video. I'm sad that I can't use any of these techniques but still entertained!
@@Ramog1000 I certainly could straighten my hair! However, I don't actually own an iron, and wouldn't want to court damage by using one regularly, so that's not an option for me.
@@IrisLilys I should probably have said "medium length and curly" hair; mine doesn't reach my shoulders and is vastly too short for this type of hairstyle. I'm sure that historically, curly haired folks used a lot of the same hairstyles as straight haired people. I, however, like to wash my hair a lot more frequently than they did, and taking a ribbon in and out of my hair causes quite a bit of breakage that I'd like to avoid.
As someone who braids my hair every night so it's easier to snuggle my husband. Finally knowing how to do a proper head crown with my hair is a godsend! I may use the threading so I can sleep comfortably where I'm not laying on my own hair UPDATE! This hairstyle was sooo comfy to wear to bed🥰🥰🥰 highly recommend for those who don't like laying on their own hair
I wear a pony tail most of the time and use figure of 8 clips from lilla rose they hold my fine hair well the down side is as i live in the uk i havs to pay import tax
Hair sticks or hair moons are great for this. Besides bun styles, they're also great for ponytails and braided updos. I've been carving my own hair sticks from sturdy branches I find and haven't touched a hair tie ever since.
yeah, my cat has developed the annoying habit of stealing hairties, so I might switch to these methods as well.... my hair is quite long and I braid it frequently anyway.
What are the benefits of not using elastics ? Is that bad for your hair ? I thought I was gonna get the answer from this video but then I realized she does it (mostly?) because of historical purposes 😶
You may not end up seeing this, but, this was really cool! :D I really like how you go in depth on the tutorial. By the way, in Mexico, specially in Oaxaca, some women (like my mom) still braid their hair in a traditional way, using leather strips, colorful ribbons or even braided yarn, that they braid into the ends of their hairs, and either tie it up or keep it as two braids (which varies by region), unfortunately this practice is slowly dying down but this video really made me see how similar different cultures can be. Thank you for sharing, lovely video.
That’s really interesting. Do you know if this kind of hair braiding came over with colonisation and then they made it their own or is it one of those things that was invented over and over as something a sensible person would do to keep hair out of their face with strips of fabric to hand?
@@clairegamble3918 I think it would be a mix of both I have little knowledge in this stuff but it was probably used as a sensible thing then became fashion by settlers
morgan: i realize these styles may not be useful to anybody who doesnt like crown braid looks me, whose own hair cannot even be tied into a ponytail: *watches intently, even nods along as if taking note*
I recently used your hair taping tutorials on my little sister's mid-back mane of curls, and it worked wonderfully! We braided the ribbon through the braids, as I've seen done in other videos, and secured the taping with some extra ribbons for colour as well as to keep the style in place. She was very impressed, despite me being a complete newb at this. Thank you
I used to be a braiding wench at a Ren Fair and throughout the entire first part of this video I kept repeating "Drape it over the top of your head and braid in the ends!" It was really satisfying to watch you figure it out.
@The Strangler Yes! Some faires have them. You might be able to see on their websites what services are being offered at their particular location. Sometimes they are not fully announced until days closer to the event. The stylists typically have large photo albums of various styles you can choose from. The accessories they use to style and decorate your hair are usually included in the price. Some faires host vendors who sell beautiful hair ornaments, too, from floral crowns to charms to metal renaissance inspired accessories. It’s great fun!
Hi, I watched this video a few weeks ago because it was recommended. Random, but cool. I decided to try it and wow. This style addresses all the sensory problems I have with long hair! No loose hair on my neck and shoulders. No tugging from tight buns. No swinging braid down my back! Right now my hair is long enough to cross the braids behind my head and the ends meet at the top of my crown. But I really think I’m gonna keep letting it grow now that it’s driving me a lot less crazy 🥰
My husband couldn't find a ponytail holder today and I thought of this video. Had him cut off a long bit of string and I braided up his hair and finished it off with the string and I think it looks awesome.
Mini tip: if your hair isn't long enough to first wrap around the back and then over the top, (like, you need to lay the braids over the top first to get coverage) having the ribbon at the back of your head before wrapping the braids (instead of across the front like a head band) may work better for you (like how she does in the second attempt, though still tucking through the hair to keep it from shifting is a good idea) This is because, when you pull the braids up, they will have something to pull against and make tension to create an anchor. If the ribbon is across the top of your head like a headband, and then you bring the braids up, the ribbon becomes looser, and it can be tricky to tie things tight enough.
When I do hair taping, I'll use three pieces of ribbon/tape. I'll braid in tape to the ends of the braids to tie them off, and I'll make sure there's extra length to them. Then when I wrap the braids around my head, I tie the ends of the tape together so that the ends of the braids are anchoring each other in place. And then I use a third to sew it down! Though I don't take my hair up & down every day when I do this. I put it up once, and leave it there until my next wash day. (I will wear a silk scarf around my head to keep it neat while sleeping.) And for the ribbon, I just use 1/4" cotton twill tape for all of it. Of course I have to be careful because I also use the same twill tape for the ties on the masks I made. XD
My grandmother would take strands of hair from her hairbrush and wrap it around and around several times where you would put an elastic....it holds until it's pinned or ribboned....or on it's own if done right. She was a little girl in the early 1900's.
@@DeathnoteBB she wrapped it round and round...like making a yarn ball but in one direction...several strands of long hair...she showed me and it stayed....i'm thinking with fine clean hair it wouldnt work very well
@@nancywelsh2854 that makes sense. I know my hair is a lot “stickier” when it hasn’t been washed in a few days. Not sticky to the touch or anything, but when it’s freshly washed it can’t even stay in a hairband! It stays a lot easier if it’s been a couple of days.
It was very common during the Victorian and Edwardian era to save your hair, either from your hair brush or hair cut, in a small box called “hair receiver” this hair would later be used to style the hair in your head.
i feel like i have a repressed memory of my great-grandmother using this trick on me but i think she used it to hold together a frayed bit of a shirt she was going to stitch rather than to hold my hair (i had short hair as a kid).
A few years ago at a SCA event, a lady bought some long lengths of narrow trim from the trim vender I was visiting with, and she wrapped/braided her hair with them right then and there. It was cool to see that then, and it's cool to see you doing this now!
This was so illuminating! My grandmother used to plat my hair in these styles with elastics and pins to recreate her childhood traditional hair styles (she's german) and it was uncomfortable and I had to count the pins in and out so they wouldn't get lost in my curly hair. I tried the style with two shorter ribbons and it was so comfortable, cute and secure that I've been wearing it as an everyday style since. It's so easy and looks like you've spent ages on it!
I get headaches and migraines frequently, and I noticed that using hairties and "normal" modern hairstyles like ponytails and buns, make them worse. Using ties (i use faux suede ties) or pins and hairsticks has been a learning curve, but my headaches have decreased a lot. Plus I feel so much prettier with a hairstyle that feels more authentic to the style I gravitate toward.
Same here! And I have found that using style like these braids distributes the force from the weight of my hair over more area, which also alleviates some of the headaches. Sorry your hair hurts!
So glad to know I'm not the only one! I also find that bobby pins cause the back, lower part of my scalp to be irritated and inflamed. I think that some of these other hair tie methods may be very beneficial to me! I'm sure happy I clicked on this link!
Always interesting how other peoples hair will just behave like that and mine is like "you know that not a single one of these hairstyles would hold on your head for more than an hour, right?" My hair is a free spirit, it doesn't obey to my rules
I feel your pain. My hair doesn’t like to do anything I want it to do lol. I try to do cute things with it and then I always get frustrated and give up and either wear it down or in a ponytail
Funnily enough, all my life I would have said this is me, and now in these last couple of months I've switched up my shampoo/conditioner, and suddenly it's much more manageable. (Don't get me wrong -- there's a level of unruliness in hair that I really love. But if you're wanting to do more with it, it might not hurt to experiment a little :) )
Oh this will be so helpful for tying my hair up under a wig. I’m trying to avoid anything kind of elastic that will break my head while I’m working on getting it healthy and this is the perfect alternative for the exact style I do under a wig. Thanks!
My grandma who was born in 1925 has never used elastics. She did her braids as you show at short ribbon style, when you braid ribbon in. Gives me a little bit of nostalgia) also that crown style remains me of traditional Ukrainian hairstyles. They also added flowers and ribbons in it, it looks amazing)
I'm chronically ill and feel really lousy today. Thankfully I have tea and can have a lie down and watch a full half-hour of Morgan Donner looking adorable to cheer me up!
@The Strangler spoons are for every illness where your energy can be limited from day to day :) Some people don't feel that spoon theory describes them, though. For instance some people have different conditions where they prefer describing it as doing cartwheels on different surfaces (parking lot vs balance beam, where you CAN do it but it takes more concentration) It all depends.
Norsk Folkemuseum has a few videos for traditional norwegian headdress. Several of them use hand woven bands to tie up the hair. You want the ones with "hår" and/or "skaut" in the title.
@@Ghost_with_Bow I recommend using Nasjonalbiblioteket's website if you want to learn more. They have quite a few older books on folk costume available for free (for norwegian IP adresses). Kari-Anne Pedersen's excellent book on East Telemark "Folkedrakt blir bunad" is one of them.
hææææ? Og jeg som går her og ergrer meg over hvor lite informasjon man finner om fattige glemte før-olje norge! Dette var gull, takk! Brb! Gonna live my Norwegian nasjonalromantikk aesthetic.
I am just growing out my hair after having it shaved off for about 10-15 years and your videos make me super excited about growing it out and trying new hairstyles! Thank you for sharing such lovely content!
OMG I haven’t used elastic in my hair for a year (ish) but I have a completely different hair textures than yours. I’ma see if I can recreate these hairstyles with my hair ✨
@@yuuri9064 You cook it until it's a runny jelly, then quickly strain it and keep it in the fridge and a part maybe in the freezer. Disadvantages: None. It might not be nourishing enough if you do it as a wash-out mask, so I add olive oil for that purpose - maybe not if you wanna use it as a styling gel only.
@@HosCreates You freeze most of it and keep in the fridge what you'll use up quickly. Some oils can make it last a tiny but longer. If flax seeds are expensive where you live - then don't do flax seeds, get something local and affordable. Where I live, in Germany, flax seeds can be quite affordable if you buy them in the right places.
Renaissance faires are great places to get hair “sticks”. There’s many different styles and choices between a single “stick” and ones that have 2-3 prongs, all types of styles, lengths, handmade. I love them, and don’t need bands. I’m so doing this.
@@sydneyholsapple6018they seriously are! they have all types. Personally, I find a two prong works Great. I have long thicker hair, but my daughters have good results with them, too. Not really long prongs, I find that isn’t as good as shorter ones. Since it’s been two years, I hope you found something awesome. I love them because they’re not slippery. ✌️
That little sponsership notice at the beginning was really well done. You notice it, but it is not intrusive on the video. Also It made me laugh a bit.
Ohhh, I love the hair taping. Flax seed gel is great. So nourishing and easy to make/use! I wanna try out these various elastic free techniques. Pop up Morgan surprised me, lol!
In the 70s, my husband and I travelled to Mexico. This is a hairstyle that was popular among the ladies. My hair was long, so I did it as well. As you say, very easy to do and stayed together well all day.
At the end of the braid instead of just a granny knot, you could also use a clove hitch knot. There are so many knots that look super cute and fun. Plus easier to undo.
“Hairstick” you mean the crochet hook I found and didn’t want to lose again. Or knitting needle. Or pen. Whatever vaguely cylindrical object long enough to hold me hair
My son found the best hairstick ever: a teaspoon! (He lost 2 wooden hairsticks and I forbade him to take one of mine) Since then he ist still experimenting :))))))))
I used a pencil or pen in school, met my husband and he thought it was the craziest thing until he got used to it. I use spare chopsticks more now just because I always have one somewhere
Your disclaimer at the end is lovely and adorable and thank you for including it! I'm excited because my hair is just getting long enough to do crown brains again, so hopefully I can do more of that in the near future.
When I first saw this video at the beginning of March, I thought I would try to stop using hair ties, just to see if I could. Now in June, I can honestly say that I really haven't missed them. During the day, I'll typicality wear my hair down or use a hair stick to pin it up, and then, since I have long hair and it drives me crazy to wear down at night, I'll braid a ribbon through it to keep it out of my face. It's been a fun adventure of finding new hairstyles and discovering what has worked best for my hair, and I look forward to seeing what else may come out of this little challenge I've set for myself.
If I have to use something elasticated I use a silk scrunchy. It has to be 100% silk otherwise it can still damage hair. My best tip is to avoid wool (hats or jumpers) at all cost. Wool under a microscope is like velcro, it will grip and pull out hair.
I ended up on the channel because I broke my last hair elastic and was trying to figure out how to hold my braid in place so I could finish my kid's mothman costume... and now I'm kind of lowkey obsessed with not only how good I look rocking the braid crown but also the rest of your channel. Thank you Google/UA-cam algorithm for leading me to this place. XD
me everyday: I'm so glad I cut my hair short six years ago, this is the best, I'm never going back to long hair. me 5 minutes into this video: *angrily googles "how to get super long hair super fast"* Edit: I really have not cut my hair since I saw that video. Having longer hair is hard when you almost never had to deal with it omg- So yeah this is now a life goal
@@doctorwholover1012 woah woah woahhhhh.... I need that. I want to grow my hair longer and hopefully avoid as much hairfall as I can, I haven't cut my hair in a year now, I actually want to grow it out but there are urges where I just want to cut it off and be gone with it. I ALSO NEED TO GET SUPER LONG HAIR SUPER FAST.
I cut my hair short again literally a week ago - I'm absolutely loving it, but also wish I'd seen this video two weeks ago so I could have experimented a little! XD
So I just tried this hairstyle with a length of yarn because I don't have any ribbons on me, and WOW IT STAYS??? IT FEEL SECURE???? I am shook. The creator is amazing, thank you so much for teaching me about keeping hair up with ribbons!!
When I was younger my mom used to braid silver glitter ribbon into my hair during the times I was wearing traditional clothes for my culture. She wanted my hair to "glow" while my hair was braided...
I remember reading the Little House books wondering how a ribbon tied around the bottom of a braid would actually work. braiding it into the end makes so much more sense than what my elementary-aged self could figure out!
I can't even make a braid but I was completely engaged with this video and I'm genuinely proud and impressed with the way you solved this! It looks great! Apparently I've been doing the cinnamon bun for my entire life. Doesn't work as well now with my hair only to my shoulder but I'm not growing my hair out for at least another year lol
So glad this was among my suggested videos! This really brought me back...when my eldest two daughters were still in early to mid elementary school, I would part their long hair in the center, french braiding back to just behind their ears, then normal braid to the ends: and then gather the rest into a bun, and then encircle the bun with the braids--I would temporarily use elastics and bobby pins to secure it, but would use ribbons to finalize the style. I tied an end to the beginning of each braid and then used a darning needle to sew their braids in place, taking the bobby pins out as I sewed the hair. It was a fantastic hairstyle, and they could get away with sleeping in it for one night....maybe more, we never tried. I would have done it with our youngest, except she hated having her hair braided at all. They're all grown now. This was back in the mid to later '90's. I'm the only one with long hair now....hmmm think I'll show this to my hubby, he braids my hair. 👒🥰
I think it's really sweet he braids your hair. It's just a nice thing to brush or play with your loved one's hair or have them do it to you, a nice quiet bonding moment
“In case you don’t want a daily double braid crown” BUT I DO! I love the double braid crown look but have been struggling to achieve it even with modern supplies. Thank you so much!
As someone who has hair just below their bottom, and has *no clue* what to do with it other than a nautilus bun (which is my daily go-to), this video is an absolute win! I was considering very strongly cutting my hair but was hesitant as you don't see many people with hair this length. Thank you for the simple, straight forward directions. Now ... for some ribbon!
I got some of those mushrooms last year at a craft store. Don't know if they are still available. Email me (ksb832@verizon.net) if you'd like a couple or a pair of earrings.
my adhd self has never watched a 30 minute video so seamlessly before... i didn’t switch videos once and i just think she’s a siren for middle aged women and middle-aged-women-at-heart
I had a blue undercut 3 years ago and now my hair is waist length. It’s fun to grow out your hair from an undercut cause you don’t go through the weird poufball shape you go through coming from a pixie cut. I just kept growing 1 side first and cutting the undercut all the way til the long side hit my shoulders, then I kept growing it out til it transitioned to a bob cut :) Sometimes I miss having short hair but I remember missing long hair when I had short hair too lol
To the people commenting that they have hair too short for this: take a length of ribbon and place it under your hair (so its like a scarf hanging over your shoulders), grab each end and lift the ribbon up evenly on each side, then cross it over and wrap it around a few times and then tie it into a bow, and you've got yourself a hair-tie.
fr I have a fringe and my hair is not even at chin length. also I suck at braiding my hair (hence the practical, short hair). but I still find this super educational and interesting and who knows, maybe I can we can share our newfound hair wisdom with a long-haired friend some day
Same, part of the reason I went for a pixie cut is that after having very short hair I can't just wear long hair without a ponytail, it feels uncomfortable when it's everywhere So I cut my hair and well...also not using hair ties now 😁
I know I'm late to the game, however with the double braid hair taping, try sewing the individual braids one at a time and then tying them together afterwards, you get the hold and the separate braid looks. just weave the second braid through one of the loops after as you tack it down overtop the first. I hope that works, maybe not tho 🤷♀️
My hair is hip length & I still get hair envy because Morgan's is so much thicker & there's just so much of it. All my hair braided together has less volume than one of her double braids. **sadface**
Mine is a couple inches past my shoulders and I’ve been tryna grow it out this year, feels like it’s taking forever and never taken this long! THE HAIR ENVY IS RIDICULOUSLY STRONG!😩🥺Her hair is stunning!!!
I get hair envy seeing ppl with pixie cuts, like bro, imagine not having to worry about sitting on your hair or dipping it in your food or having to pull your hair out of your pants after putting them on or wearing necklaces without getting hair in then omg-
Lovely! Im embracing the grey and growing out. Pic of my grandmother born in 1893, shows her in her 50's in this braid 'halo?' .. timeless elegance and simplicity! Love how you ar blushing.. so sweet. Thank you.
I have fine straight hair. For the first hairstyle, I just do the Dutch milkmaid hairstyle with no parting. The second one using the hair stick never works for me, as it will always slip and slide away from my hair. Kudos to Morgan for sharing this with us.
Me: Curious as to what it is so revolutionary as to eliminate the need for hair bands. *28 minutes later.* Me: Mildly bothered that I only see this after having got 12 inches of hair, cut off.
Same. I was like, "why?? What do elastics do to your hair?" I thought maybe they increase hair loss or something lol Sadly, this woman has 6x as much hair as I do, so my hair looks terrible in braids because my hair is so thin. Mine is pathetically thin and has always come out during brushing since childhood. Like, my comb is always full of hair.
Thank you so much Morgan!!! I've been looking for a comfortable way to have my hair up and out of the way and the ribbon is it! I wore the braided in ribbon style under my hijab and it's so comfy!
Omg girl, SAME! I also wore my hair in braids and pin it around my head (under the hijab) because buns are absolutely a pain in the back when you are wearing helmets. With crown braid I can just easily slide my helmet without worrying any buns blocking the helmet in the back

I want to say to you, that braiding ribbon in was 100% used in 19th century, my grandma showed it to me, because it's the way how her grandma made her hair when she was a kid. But you loop the ribbon around the root of the braid.
I like Pebble's style of twisting the hair into a pony tail and tying it into a knot on top of the head with the extra hair flailing around.
It’s called fluffing! You fluff a braid to loosen it a bit.
June's Journey and Among Us are the only games on my phone . . . I think that might be all your fault.
Yup, I downloaded it then... and am still playing it almost every day!
This was in my recommended and I thought the video was going to be about why using hair elastic was bad for hair.......well, I was wrong but stayed till the end because I got interested.
Lol same
I just waited for that statement but it never came xD
Thank you for saving me 30 minutes
That was the idea, (we) got duped.
I was curious on what defect they’ll pull out of hair bands
There is something about people doing what they like that makes me happy

@@liviaboeglin5179Yes! And it's quite inspirational in a way, to have that kind of passion and to follow it

Wow, that’s awesome. And it’s funny how we in Western Europe (or the countries that Western Europe colonised) see them as the opposite- double braids are a child’s hairstyle.
I wonder exactly when that happened? Because we know that double braids were still very much an adult hairstyle up through the renaissance even in Western Europe. And I know the single braid was seen as an easy informal “down” hairstyle right up until Victorian times. Wearing a single braid down was good only for sleeping or around the house. It wasn’t really until Edwardian times that we started to see the single plait or braid (in Australia we differentiate between plaits and braids- a plait begins with all the hair, a braid is when you incorporate more hair along the way, in Australia anyway), that was left down and finished with a bow at the end, on the street. Before that, adult women would “put their hair up” and it was that “putting your hair up” that was the rite of passage from girlhood to womanhood.
Thank you so much for your comment. It’s always so lovely to learn about different cultures. We all have hair, but everyone sees it and does it differently. It has different meanings across societies and time. It’s just awesome.
This is wonderful 😍
First Nations people have traditions around braids as well. I imagine there's so much information out there!
Wonderful information!!! Thank you for sharing!
I’m not sure why this was in my recommended but it was so therapeutic I watched the entire thing! AND the fact that you managed to figure out how to do the styles just by looking at the portraits and paintings is insane! You’re so talented
I think it's important to remember that it's highly unlikely that most women would have been doing these hairstyles completely alone... Even poor and working class women usually lived with an older woman (mom, grandma, aunt's, etc), children, sisters, etc, who would have been able to help each other with their hair. Plus having natural hair grease from not using modern shampoos and soaps would have helped things stay in place better too lol.
I think its important to rememeber that when you have long hair and centuries of unchanging hair fashion it's *not hard* to learn to do a singular style neatly on yourself. I had long hair and did double duch braids on my head, while sleepy in early morning ,without any mirror, and people were fooled into believing someone did them for me.
And also, not everyone would have mirrors.
Interesting fact, I have a friend that learned as a young man modeling that you can keep your hair clean by just rinsing with water every day. He had great looking hair but when he told me this , he said he hadn't washed his hair with shampoo in a decade. He just showered it and that's it.
@@JohnSmith-gn3jk Yep. My hair hates shampoo.
@@JohnSmith-gn3jk He has good genes. My hair would be a greasy tangled mess.
I have absolutely no interest in historical hairstyles, but you were so excited for cracking the code for the ribbons and so happy to share that I stayed for the entire video and actually enjoyed it!

Same 😹

Watching this as a black person, it's really interesting seeing the effort put into keeping hair braided. If I braid my hair all the way to the tips, the ends will just kind of naturally knot together and hold themselves in place, so I've never really needed to tie the ends unless for stylistic reasons. So it's interesting to see the different methods that were used by people with straighter hair to hold hair in place, as is something I would have never thought about otherwise. The ribbon is really pretty too, it's amazing how something meant to hold hair in place can also be so pretty.
Isn't this why your hair is able to lock more naturally without being hella gross
@@mandie492 yeah, cause even if the hair has just been washed and combed, it's so curly that it'll intertwine together anyways. The hair looks good cause it's been taken care of, and that's just the state it's supposed to be in. But if a black person didn't comb their hair and just wore it out the way they woke up, it would also look pretty bad lol
Same here, with a few kinds of misc curl.
I have always been jealous of black people's hair because it holds styles so beautifully. Mine is limp and never does what it's told.
Starting out with Asian hair that's super glossy and keeps falling out of every elastic these methods were actually very helpful add a lot security... I'm kinda envious of your hair

The Tudor Tailor had a video on how to do hair tapping for shorter hair at some point. I don't know if it's still up. Granted it was as a fondation for various Tudor headcoverings, so it wasn't meant ot be seen and so not super neat or pretty, but there are ways.
@@milu9099 I didnt find anything, did you spell correctly?
@@Trageberaterin Yes she did, it isn't very common but usually it's part of national-costume or with those type of semi-historical clothes. You may have to look for websites in swedish tho, or maybe in norweigan, I think it's called the same.
MOOD
@@Trageberaterin Sorry, I missed an "n"... Oppombindning is the correct spelling. This is a good tutorial on how you do it on yourself with long hair emmafrost.se/2013/05/11/att-gora-oppombindning-pa-sig-sjalv/ but if you cannot get your hair to reach back into one single ponytail you can make one behind each ear instead and ad hair extensions or even yarn to fill out what is more or less a ribbon covered wreath when you are finished.
As a curly haired person, the fact that you can tie a piece of ribbon in your hair and then get it out again with both hair and ribbon intact was the most amazing thing about this video. I'm sad that I can't use any of these techniques but still entertained!
I mean you can but you first would have to straighten your hair
Why cant you? Its not like curly hair didnt exist during this time period. Im sure they did hairtaping as well.
@@Ramog1000 I certainly could straighten my hair! However, I don't actually own an iron, and wouldn't want to court damage by using one regularly, so that's not an option for me.
@@IrisLilys I should probably have said "medium length and curly" hair; mine doesn't reach my shoulders and is vastly too short for this type of hairstyle. I'm sure that historically, curly haired folks used a lot of the same hairstyles as straight haired people. I, however, like to wash my hair a lot more frequently than they did, and taking a ribbon in and out of my hair causes quite a bit of breakage that I'd like to avoid.
I feel you

As someone who braids my hair every night so it's easier to snuggle my husband. Finally knowing how to do a proper head crown with my hair is a godsend! I may use the threading so I can sleep comfortably where I'm not laying on my own hair

this is so cute omgg!!!!! braiding your hair for cuddles....... that's the life I want 🥺🥺

Right?? Been watching long hair videos for years and this is the first I've heard of this channel. Guess UA-cam finally got the hint!
i think it's also the way the video is titled
She appeared and I'm considering redoing my whole life style.
yea
As someone who doesn’t do historical dress, but wants to move away from using elastics, I really found this helpful
I wear a pony tail most of the time and use figure of 8 clips from lilla rose they hold my fine hair well the down side is as i live in the uk i havs to pay import tax
Hair sticks or hair moons are great for this. Besides bun styles, they're also great for ponytails and braided updos. I've been carving my own hair sticks from sturdy branches I find and haven't touched a hair tie ever since.
yeah, my cat has developed the annoying habit of stealing hairties, so I might switch to these methods as well.... my hair is quite long and I braid it frequently anyway.
@@suzanwiel6599 How do you use them for ponytails?
What are the benefits of not using elastics ? Is that bad for your hair ? I thought I was gonna get the answer from this video but then I realized she does it (mostly?) because of historical purposes 😶
You may not end up seeing this, but, this was really cool! :D I really like how you go in depth on the tutorial. By the way, in Mexico, specially in Oaxaca, some women (like my mom) still braid their hair in a traditional way, using leather strips, colorful ribbons or even braided yarn, that they braid into the ends of their hairs, and either tie it up or keep it as two braids (which varies by region), unfortunately this practice is slowly dying down but this video really made me see how similar different cultures can be. Thank you for sharing, lovely video.
That’s really interesting. Do you know if this kind of hair braiding came over with colonisation and then they made it their own or is it one of those things that was invented over and over as something a sensible person would do to keep hair out of their face with strips of fabric to hand?
@@clairegamble3918 I think it would be a mix of both I have little knowledge in this stuff but it was probably used as a sensible thing then became fashion by settlers
My jaw dropped midway through the video. I wanna wear this every single day. To work. Doing chores. At Starbucks. This is a hair revelation for me.

I recently used your hair taping tutorials on my little sister's mid-back mane of curls, and it worked wonderfully! We braided the ribbon through the braids, as I've seen done in other videos, and secured the taping with some extra ribbons for colour as well as to keep the style in place. She was very impressed, despite me being a complete newb at this. Thank you
I love how you showed us all your failed methods with the ribbons, it made the successful one even more impressive
Ikr!!!! We love perseverance and progress

I used to be a braiding wench at a Ren Fair and throughout the entire first part of this video I kept repeating "Drape it over the top of your head and braid in the ends!" It was really satisfying to watch you figure it out.
Glad I'm not the only one who was horribly confused by why she started with anything else!
@The Strangler Yes! Some faires have them. You might be able to see on their websites what services are being offered at their particular location. Sometimes they are not fully announced until days closer to the event. The stylists typically have large photo albums of various styles you can choose from. The accessories they use to style and decorate your hair are usually included in the price. Some faires host vendors who sell beautiful hair ornaments, too, from floral crowns to charms to metal renaissance inspired accessories. It’s great fun!
@@1One2Three5Eight13 I take money to RennFaire specifically to get my hair done!! And then leave it in for as many days as I can stand it! :-D

Hi, I watched this video a few weeks ago because it was recommended. Random, but cool. I decided to try it and wow. This style addresses all the sensory problems I have with long hair! No loose hair on my neck and shoulders. No tugging from tight buns. No swinging braid down my back! Right now my hair is long enough to cross the braids behind my head and the ends meet at the top of my crown. But I really think I’m gonna keep letting it grow now that it’s driving me a lot less crazy 🥰
This is fascinating - I have a PhD in Renaissance art history and I just learned SO MUCH!

My husband couldn't find a ponytail holder today and I thought of this video. Had him cut off a long bit of string and I braided up his hair and finished it off with the string and I think it looks awesome.
that's so cool!
I wish you could share photos on here lol
Mini tip: if your hair isn't long enough to first wrap around the back and then over the top, (like, you need to lay the braids over the top first to get coverage) having the ribbon at the back of your head before wrapping the braids (instead of across the front like a head band) may work better for you (like how she does in the second attempt, though still tucking through the hair to keep it from shifting is a good idea) This is because, when you pull the braids up, they will have something to pull against and make tension to create an anchor. If the ribbon is across the top of your head like a headband, and then you bring the braids up, the ribbon becomes looser, and it can be tricky to tie things tight enough.
Thank you for the tip
there's something about her aura & her vibe that is so peaceful & friendly

So cute awe
When I do hair taping, I'll use three pieces of ribbon/tape. I'll braid in tape to the ends of the braids to tie them off, and I'll make sure there's extra length to them. Then when I wrap the braids around my head, I tie the ends of the tape together so that the ends of the braids are anchoring each other in place. And then I use a third to sew it down! Though I don't take my hair up & down every day when I do this. I put it up once, and leave it there until my next wash day. (I will wear a silk scarf around my head to keep it neat while sleeping.) And for the ribbon, I just use 1/4" cotton twill tape for all of it. Of course I have to be careful because I also use the same twill tape for the ties on the masks I made. XD
I've stopped counting the times when I've untied my braids instead of my mask... The struggle is real! XD
I use this method! I think I learned it from Silvouplaits here on the 'tube.
9:45 I've FINALLY understood an old painting of a Normann woman with a ribbon in her braids like this

It was perfect. Ads usually ruin a video.

My grandmother would take strands of hair from her hairbrush and wrap it around and around several times where you would put an elastic....it holds until it's pinned or ribboned....or on it's own if done right. She was a little girl in the early 1900's.
How would she make it stay? An elastic is a circle but hair is just a line.
@@DeathnoteBB she wrapped it round and round...like making a yarn ball but in one direction...several strands of long hair...she showed me and it stayed....i'm thinking with fine clean hair it wouldnt work very well
@@nancywelsh2854 that makes sense. I know my hair is a lot “stickier” when it hasn’t been washed in a few days. Not sticky to the touch or anything, but when it’s freshly washed it can’t even stay in a hairband! It stays a lot easier if it’s been a couple of days.
It was very common during the Victorian and Edwardian era to save your hair, either from your hair brush or hair cut, in a small box called “hair receiver” this hair would later be used to style the hair in your head.
i feel like i have a repressed memory of my great-grandmother using this trick on me but i think she used it to hold together a frayed bit of a shirt she was going to stitch rather than to hold my hair (i had short hair as a kid).
A few years ago at a SCA event, a lady bought some long lengths of narrow trim from the trim vender I was visiting with, and she wrapped/braided her hair with them right then and there. It was cool to see that then, and it's cool to see you doing this now!
This was so illuminating! My grandmother used to plat my hair in these styles with elastics and pins to recreate her childhood traditional hair styles (she's german) and it was uncomfortable and I had to count the pins in and out so they wouldn't get lost in my curly hair. I tried the style with two shorter ribbons and it was so comfortable, cute and secure that I've been wearing it as an everyday style since. It's so easy and looks like you've spent ages on it!
I get headaches and migraines frequently, and I noticed that using hairties and "normal" modern hairstyles like ponytails and buns, make them worse. Using ties (i use faux suede ties) or pins and hairsticks has been a learning curve, but my headaches have decreased a lot. Plus I feel so much prettier with a hairstyle that feels more authentic to the style I gravitate toward.
Same here! And I have found that using style like these braids distributes the force from the weight of my hair over more area, which also alleviates some of the headaches. Sorry your hair hurts!
So glad to know I'm not the only one! I also find that bobby pins cause the back, lower part of my scalp to be irritated and inflamed. I think that some of these other hair tie methods may be very beneficial to me! I'm sure happy I clicked on this link!
Girl my hair is so straight that if I had left it braided just hangin, by the time I braid the other half if would completely untangle.
Same. I'm wondering if using clips on the end of 1 braid while I work on the other might work though.

Funnily enough, all my life I would have said this is me, and now in these last couple of months I've switched up my shampoo/conditioner, and suddenly it's much more manageable.

Oh this will be so helpful for tying my hair up under a wig. I’m trying to avoid anything kind of elastic that will break my head while I’m working on getting it healthy and this is the perfect alternative for the exact style I do under a wig. Thanks!
Is your wig lace front?
My grandma who was born in 1925 has never used elastics. She did her braids as you show at short ribbon style, when you braid ribbon in. Gives me a little bit of nostalgia) also that crown style remains me of traditional Ukrainian hairstyles. They also added flowers and ribbons in it, it looks amazing)

Norsk Folkemuseum has a few videos for traditional norwegian headdress. Several of them use hand woven bands to tie up the hair. You want the ones with "hår" and/or "skaut" in the title.

@@HosCreates you can store it in the fridge, but it still doesn't have the longevity of a traditional commercial hairgel!

@@yuuri9064 You cook it until it's a runny jelly, then quickly strain it and keep it in the fridge and a part maybe in the freezer.
Disadvantages: None.
It might not be nourishing enough if you do it as a wash-out mask, so I add olive oil for that purpose - maybe not if you wanna use it as a styling gel only.
@@HosCreates You freeze most of it and keep in the fridge what you'll use up quickly.

Where I live, in Germany, flax seeds can be quite affordable if you buy them in the right places.
Renaissance faires are great places to get hair “sticks”. There’s many different styles and choices between a single “stick” and ones that have 2-3 prongs, all types of styles, lengths, handmade. I love them, and don’t need bands. I’m so doing this.

In the 70s, my husband and I travelled to Mexico. This is a hairstyle that was popular among the ladies. My hair was long, so I did it as well. As you say, very easy to do and stayed together well all day.
At the end of the braid instead of just a granny knot, you could also use a clove hitch knot. There are so many knots that look super cute and fun. Plus easier to undo.
“If it looks bad, pretend it looks perfect” is my new mantra.
“Hairstick” you mean the crochet hook I found and didn’t want to lose again. Or knitting needle. Or pen. Whatever vaguely cylindrical object long enough to hold me hair
The random pencil your son was just chewing on. The single chopstick that somehow was still in the cutlery drawer. THE CROCHET HOOK

I'm excited because my hair is just getting long enough to do crown brains again, so hopefully I can do more of that in the near future.
When I first saw this video at the beginning of March, I thought I would try to stop using hair ties, just to see if I could. Now in June, I can honestly say that I really haven't missed them. During the day, I'll typicality wear my hair down or use a hair stick to pin it up, and then, since I have long hair and it drives me crazy to wear down at night, I'll braid a ribbon through it to keep it out of my face. It's been a fun adventure of finding new hairstyles and discovering what has worked best for my hair, and I look forward to seeing what else may come out of this little challenge I've set for myself.
I’ve been dealing with some hair loss recently and elastics pull way too much... I’ve been using clips and ribbons since. It’s helped a lot!
If I have to use something elasticated I use a silk scrunchy. It has to be 100% silk otherwise it can still damage hair. My best tip is to avoid wool (hats or jumpers) at all cost. Wool under a microscope is like velcro, it will grip and pull out hair.
I ended up on the channel because I broke my last hair elastic and was trying to figure out how to hold my braid in place so I could finish my kid's mothman costume... and now I'm kind of lowkey obsessed with not only how good I look rocking the braid crown but also the rest of your channel.

@@Bowie_Eooh good idea!!
Tip - Prevent synthetic ribbon from fraying by lightly singeing the ends with a flame 🔥 😉
Tip: do this before you've braided the ribbon in your hair, not after XD
And if it's not synthetic you can tie a knot on each end of the ribbon as close to the edge as you can get without the knot coming undone
You can also paint the tip with a little clear nail polish. Or, if you sew, you may already have FrayChek or a fabric glue on hand to seal the ends.
When I was younger my mom used to braid silver glitter ribbon into my hair during the times I was wearing traditional clothes for my culture. She wanted my hair to "glow" while my hair was braided...
I remember reading the Little House books wondering how a ribbon tied around the bottom of a braid would actually work. braiding it into the end makes so much more sense than what my elementary-aged self could figure out!
I can't even make a braid but I was completely engaged with this video and I'm genuinely proud and impressed with the way you solved this! It looks great! Apparently I've been doing the cinnamon bun for my entire life. Doesn't work as well now with my hair only to my shoulder but I'm not growing my hair out for at least another year lol
So glad this was among my suggested videos! This really brought me back...when my eldest two daughters were still in early to mid elementary school, I would part their long hair in the center, french braiding back to just behind their ears, then normal braid to the ends: and then gather the rest into a bun, and then encircle the bun with the braids--I would temporarily use elastics and bobby pins to secure it, but would use ribbons to finalize the style. I tied an end to the beginning of each braid and then used a darning needle to sew their braids in place, taking the bobby pins out as I sewed the hair. It was a fantastic hairstyle, and they could get away with sleeping in it for one night....maybe more, we never tried. I would have done it with our youngest, except she hated having her hair braided at all. They're all grown now. This was back in the mid to later '90's. I'm the only one with long hair now....hmmm think I'll show this to my hubby, he braids my hair. 👒🥰
I think it's really sweet he braids your hair. It's just a nice thing to brush or play with your loved one's hair or have them do it to you, a nice quiet bonding moment
“In case you don’t want a daily double braid crown” BUT I DO!
I love the double braid crown look but have been struggling to achieve it even with modern supplies. Thank you so much!
This is very interesting and informative. Thank you Morgan. The red fork pin makes me think of a dinglehopper!
As someone who has hair just below their bottom, and has *no clue* what to do with it other than a nautilus bun (which is my daily go-to), this video is an absolute win! I was considering very strongly cutting my hair but was hesitant as you don't see many people with hair this length. Thank you for the simple, straight forward directions. Now ... for some ribbon!
This is so cool to see how women used to deal with their hair without modern gadgets. Very interesting.
I definitely need those bitty mushroom earrings
I got some of those mushrooms last year at a craft store. Don't know if they are still available. Email me (ksb832@verizon.net) if you'd like a couple or a pair of earrings.
my adhd self has never watched a 30 minute video so seamlessly before... i didn’t switch videos once and i just think she’s a siren for middle aged women and middle-aged-women-at-heart
I wish I had seen this before cutting all my hair up to my shoulders! This is beautiful, functional, elegant, AND versatile.
Me sittin here with my blue undercut: "Hmm yes, interesting information I will definitely use."
I had a blue undercut 3 years ago and now my hair is waist length. It’s fun to grow out your hair from an undercut cause you don’t go through the weird poufball shape you go through coming from a pixie cut. I just kept growing 1 side first and cutting the undercut all the way til the long side hit my shoulders, then I kept growing it out til it transitioned to a bob cut :)
Sometimes I miss having short hair but I remember missing long hair when I had short hair too lol
I literally have a fuckin mullet but I'm still watching this
@@talialalalala I'm currently in the poufball phase growing out my pixie cut xD
@Heavenly_Chocolates probably
@Heavenly_Chocolates it's picrew I believe hope I helped^^
Watching Morgan always means I spend the rest of the day in Braids.🤣
To the people commenting that they have hair too short for this: take a length of ribbon and place it under your hair (so its like a scarf hanging over your shoulders), grab each end and lift the ribbon up evenly on each side, then cross it over and wrap it around a few times and then tie it into a bow, and you've got yourself a hair-tie.
Thanks!
I think you’ve discovered EXACTLY how they did it, it makes so much sense! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You left out the "My hair is driving me nuts, I'm just gonna stab it with a pencil" bun. :D
I usually have Lucius Malfoy’s wand (pen version) in mine! 😁
Or chopsticks or whatever else is sharp and pointy enough
crochet hooks :)
isn’t that exactly what she did in the last part
@@emilyfanslow3604 yeah but that's not a pencil
Thank you! I now know why ribbon was such a popular item to shop for or receive in historical novels!
Me, who has a pixie cut but is watching this anyways: :0
fr I have a fringe and my hair is not even at chin length. also I suck at braiding my hair (hence the practical, short hair). but I still find this super educational and interesting and who knows, maybe I can we can share our newfound hair wisdom with a long-haired friend some day
Same, part of the reason I went for a pixie cut is that after having very short hair I can't just wear long hair without a ponytail, it feels uncomfortable when it's everywhere
So I cut my hair and well...also not using hair ties now 😁
@@atriyakoller136 Yeah long hair is a pain. Especially when you’re trying to sleep and it keeps annoying your neck
@@sheppin_ that's more of a shoulder length problem for me, but yeah, can relate
@@atriyakoller136 Honestly at this point shoulder length hair is also “long” by my standards
I know I'm late to the game, however with the double braid hair taping, try sewing the individual braids one at a time and then tying them together afterwards, you get the hold and the separate braid looks. just weave the second braid through one of the loops after as you tack it down overtop the first. I hope that works, maybe not tho 🤷♀️
I started growing my hair years ago trusting that the information would be there when I was ready. And here you are. 🥰
... I love all of these! Elastics tend to pull out my hair but I didn't know there was an alternative. Thank you!
I'm growing out my hair and let me telling you, watching this, the hair envy is STRONGGGGGGG
My hair is hip length & I still get hair envy because Morgan's is so much thicker & there's just so much of it. All my hair braided together has less volume than one of her double braids. **sadface**
@@AlexaFaie hair envy never ends :(
@@AlexaFaie mine is past my knees, and I feel the same as you!
Mine is a couple inches past my shoulders and I’ve been tryna grow it out this year, feels like it’s taking forever and never taken this long! THE HAIR ENVY IS RIDICULOUSLY STRONG!😩🥺Her hair is stunning!!!
I get hair envy seeing ppl with pixie cuts, like bro, imagine not having to worry about sitting on your hair or dipping it in your food or having to pull your hair out of your pants after putting them on or wearing necklaces without getting hair in then omg-
Lovely! Im embracing the grey and growing out. Pic of my grandmother born in 1893, shows her in her 50's in this braid 'halo?' .. timeless elegance and simplicity! Love how you ar blushing.. so sweet. Thank you.
I have fine straight hair. For the first hairstyle, I just do the Dutch milkmaid hairstyle with no parting. The second one using the hair stick never works for me, as it will always slip and slide away from my hair. Kudos to Morgan for sharing this with us.
Me: Curious as to what it is so revolutionary as to eliminate the need for hair bands.
*28 minutes later.*
Me: Mildly bothered that I only see this after having got 12 inches of hair, cut off.
Sameee
Literally JUST had 16 inches of hair cut off on tuesday. UA-cam is messing with me
Yup.
Same. I was like, "why?? What do elastics do to your hair?" I thought maybe they increase hair loss or something lol
Sadly, this woman has 6x as much hair as I do, so my hair looks terrible in braids because my hair is so thin. Mine is pathetically thin and has always come out during brushing since childhood. Like, my comb is always full of hair.
Same I just got all my hear off
Thank you so much Morgan!!! I've been looking for a comfortable way to have my hair up and out of the way and the ribbon is it! I wore the braided in ribbon style under my hijab and it's so comfy!
Omg girl, SAME! I also wore my hair in braids and pin it around my head (under the hijab) because buns are absolutely a pain in the back when you are wearing helmets. With crown braid I can just easily slide my helmet without worrying any buns blocking the helmet in the back
I love how I thought this was going to be about the damage elastic can do to your hair and now in hooked on medieval hair and fashion.
I think that's the best advertisement method I've ever seen
“I just realized the back of my heads probably not even at all - that’s fine”
Me. Everyday. #longhairdontcare
My work recently got cctv... I now have seen how uneven my hair is ...resigned sigh.
I don't know who u r or why this is recommended but I watched it all and enjoyed it
