Traditional Hair Styles

This is early 1700s, but...it deals with hair - in a way

Being linked to the Campbell's, I was read an interesting account how John Campbell, 2d Duke of Argyll, led an infantry assault against the French (can't quite remember where)...but how he somehow escaped all injury...only suffering a hole shot in his coat, his hat being shot off...and...his wig shot off.

I have had everything in the line of hair from shoulder length to shaved completely bald. The kilt, though, remained exactly the same!

With hair

Bald

Ya, I have read of men wearing wigs at different times in the past. You know the big wigs.

How 'bout a rainbow colored clown wig?? Now, that's an attraction!

Bet you somebody's pulled off wearing a kilt and having a mohawk.

It wasn't spiked up at the time of the picture but here you go:

OK, I don't know what is going on with my ISP but I can't seem to post pictures any more.

AHA!.... Fixed it.

That's ok that the picture isn't there, I can't look at it anyway. I remember seeing some kind of painting of a warrior with a helmet that had a mohawk-like thing on top and a tunic with hanging strips of armor. I think the romans may have done their armor like this, and it looked kilt-like. That's what made me think of the mohawk and kilt combo. Glad you tried it.

He now has a much larger pink mohawk which can be seen on here http://www.bbc.co.uk/dragonsden/series5/episode1.shtml

Sadly, I have heard that mostly everything in the costooming of Braveheart is bunk, and not even good bunk. That being said, I seem to recall in looking into the topic for this thread, some of the plating and so on. I really can't go look at the pretty pictures, so I don't know.
