Historically accurate Viking hairstyles = Sailor Moon hair?! Yup, turns out we have a Viking age pendant showing Sailor Moon space buns tied using the Valkyrie Knot hairstyle on either side of the head. So, Jackie from @rigrcrafts was kind enough to demonstrate it for us!
After my video on inaccurate Viking hair myths, I got a lot of requests for a medieval hair tutorial on how to do Medieval and Viking hairstyles that are actually supported by historical evidence. Jackie of @Rigr Crafts, who is an expert in historical hair care, joined me to demonstrate some historical hair techniques, and it turns out one of them is a Sailor Moon hairstyle from the Viking age! We also tried several other Medieval hairstyles including lots of medieval and Viking braids, and chatted about medieval haircare and what we can learn from it.
While medieval people didn't wash their hair the way we do, they did have careful and effective hair care routines to keep their hair clean and healthy. Medieval hair care relied on combing, braids, and caps or veils to care for hair without modern technology or products, and there's a lot we can learn from it! Jackie and I tried several Medieval hairstyles documented by historical evidence, including different kinds of hair taping, easy two braid styles, and some more exciting Viking hair including the Sailor Moon space buns! Plus, we tried some more intricate and complicated early middle ages hairstyles, including the Elling Woman's five-strand braided bun and the Hammerum Girl's tiny, delicate accent braids. These historical hairstyles can be very useful for camping, dressing up, re-enactments, and more! This tutorial should be a helpful resource for medieval hairstyles for curly hair, as Jackie and I are both curly girls.
