11
In the heat of Egypt, noblemen and women clipped their hair close to the head. But for
ceremonial occasions heavy, curly black wigs were donned. Women's wigs were often long
and braided, adorned with gold ornaments or ivory hairpins. Men's faces were generally clean
shaved, but stiff false beards were sometimes worn.
12
In Rome the tendency was to follow Greek styles. The upper classes would use curling irons
and favoured the gold powdered look of the Greeks. Women often dyed their hair blonde
or wore wigs made from hair of captive civilization slaves. Later, hairstyles became more
ornate with hair curled tight and piled high on the head often shaped around wire frames.
Hairdressing became popular and the upper classes were attended to by slaves or visited public
barber shops.

13 Amongst the Muslim community the hair was traditionally concealed in public. Men wore a
turban or fez and women's hair was hidden under the traditional veil. Both men and women
visited the local public baths for grooming where the men's head and face were shaved and
women's long hair was given a henna rinse.
14
China
Unmarried Chinese girls' hair was usually worn long and braided whilst women combed the
hair back from the face and wound into a knot at the nape. The Manchu regime of the time
dictated that men shaved the front of the head and wore the back hair long and braided, tied
with black silk.
15
Due to the many tribal customs African hairstyles were many and varied and usually signified
status. Masai warriors tied the front hair into sections of tiny braids whilst the back hair was
allowed to grow to waist length. Many tribes dyed the hair with red earth and grease - some even
stiffened it with animal dung. Other tribes such as the Miango took a more simple approach,
covering Africa their long ponytails with a headscarf and adorning with leaves.
16
The Western World
In the 15t h century - The Renaissance period - the ladies of the upper classes really took
'plucking' to its limit! If you think tweezing the odd eyebrow here and there is painful, imagine
yourself plucking the entire front hairline away to give the appearance of a higher forehead!
The rest of the hair was tightly scraped back to show off the elaborate headdresses of the day.
This was a practise common in Europe.
