Bonsoir mes amis,
I wish to present to you all my class on how to build a 14th Century hairstyle
to be taught at the upcoming Stargate Yule, and provide perspective students
with a supply list. Please review the list and explanation below, and contact
me should you have any questions. If you wish to attend the class but do not
wish to make the hairstyle, you are welcome to observe and take notes. I look
forward to seeing everyone there :)
Merci beau coup,
Mademoiselle Jeanne-Marie la Verriere
Building a 14th Century Hairstyle - 2pm
In this class, we will discuss the various ways a lady could wear her hair in
the 'side braids' style. This is an easy hairstyle to accomplish with
naturally long hair using only a few large hairpins, and hairstyling products
if desired. However, if the wearer has short hair, there is a way to create
this hairstyle easily using faux hair, a headband, and a few craft supplies.
We will create the hairstyle in class, and then discuss how best to wear it and
with what clothing.
Class Supplies List
*For Long-Haired Ladies*
2 straight faux hair lengths matching your hair color (*needed only if your hair
is very thin or damaged)
4 large u-shaped hairpins (get these at Hobby Lobby in the metal jewelry area,
$1.99 for 4)
package of regular hairpins (NOT bobby pins; get these at Sally's for $1.99)
styling products if desired (smoothing balm, hairspray)
*For Short-Haired Ladies*
3 straight faux hair lengths matching your hair color
one thin plastic headband (the kind without teeth)
2 yards plain ribbon matching your hair color
glue gun
6-10 glue sticks
styling products if desired (smoothing balm, hairspray)
*Please bring your coronet, circlet, wimple, etc. that you wear frequently on
your head so that we can make sure the braids are set at the right angle.
Where to find faux hair
Check your local yellow pages for places that specialize in selling wigs and
hair extension supplies. Most of these stores cater to the African-American
community, and offer LOTS of choices for types of false hair. If you aren't
sure what you need, the owner should be able to point you in the right
direction. If you are unable to find a wig shop, ask a hairdresser or braid
stylist. Do NOT buy your hair at Sallys, they are severely over-priced.
You will want to buy loose Kankelon hair meant for weaving. These should not
be more than $2-4 a length/ bag. Do NOT buy wefts, which are pieces of hair
with a sewn seam along the top meant for hair extensions- they do not work for
this technique! Try to bring a friend to help you match your hair color, and
if the shop owner will let you, try to match it outside in the sunlight. False
lighting can sometimes skew the true color.
