The Long And Short Of It The History Of Hair, Hats And Head Coverings
*This event has been cancelled*
How someone wears their hair is part of their self-expression, and at different times in the past various conventions or expectations led to specific styles and head coverings. The Weald & Downland Living Museum in Chichester will explore what this meant for people living in the Saxon, Tudor, Stuart and Victorian times, looking at fashion, religious requirements, how frequently hair was washed, ideals of beauty at the time and what was achievable for those outside of the ruling elite.
