for Russians, single braid was for the unmarried, and double braids were for the married (because you could put them up and hide under the headdress). there was a whole ritual of splitting the braid, songs about it, etc. it wasn't a thing for nobility after Peter the Great though, because he made the nobility to follow Western European fashions. lower classes still did this up until the Soviet times.

This was in my recommended and I thought the video was going to be about why using hair elastic was bad for hair.......well, I was wrong but stayed till the end because I got interested.

Watching this as a black person, it's really interesting seeing the effort put into keeping hair braided. If I braid my hair all the way to the tips, the ends will just kind of naturally knot together and hold themselves in place, so I've never really needed to tie the ends unless for stylistic reasons. So it's interesting to see the different methods that were used by people with straighter hair to hold hair in place, as is something I would have never thought about otherwise. The ribbon is really pretty too, it's amazing how something meant to hold hair in place can also be so pretty.

I love how you showed us all your failed methods with the ribbons, it made the successful one even more impressive

There is something about people doing what they like that makes me happy

I think it's important to remember that it's highly unlikely that most women would have been doing these hairstyles completely alone... Even poor and working class women usually lived with an older woman (mom, grandma, aunt's, etc), children, sisters, etc, who would have been able to help each other with their hair. Plus having natural hair grease from not using modern shampoos and soaps would have helped things stay in place better too lol.

i rlly thought this was gonna be a lecture abt rubber elastics being bad for ur hair LMAO

I love how you advertised how this video is sponsored, didn't expect that! I thought it was a family member walking in your room loll🥺😭😍

Who knew histórical hairstyle would crack the algorithm.

In medieval England 4 yards of hair ribbon was a standard unit of measurement called "a Donner."

I’m not sure why this was in my recommended but it was so therapeutic I watched the entire thing! AND the fact that you managed to figure out how to do the styles just by looking at the portraits and paintings is insane! You’re so talented

I love how I thought this was going to be about the damage elastic can do to your hair and now in hooked on medieval hair and fashion.

I have absolutely no interest in historical hairstyles, but you were so excited for cracking the code for the ribbons and so happy to share that I stayed for the entire video and actually enjoyed it!

Your sponsor editing magic scared the crap out of me. I loved it. I’ve never seen anyone do that kind of ad before in their video.

You may not end up seeing this, but, this was really cool! :D I really like how you go in depth on the tutorial. By the way, in Mexico, specially in Oaxaca, some women (like my mom) still braid their hair in a traditional way, using leather strips, colorful ribbons or even braided yarn, that they braid into the ends of their hairs, and either tie it up or keep it as two braids (which varies by region), unfortunately this practice is slowly dying down but this video really made me see how similar different cultures can be. Thank you for sharing, lovely video.

I've never cared so much about medieval hairstyles! You just seem so excited and passionate, it's really nice to listen to someone just nerding out about their interests. Also that ribbon braid is so cute!!

Me: has hair so short I can't pull it all into a single ponytail Also me: intently watches ALL the historical hair tutorials that all require waist-length hair

"If it looks bad, pretend it looks perfect" A total mood!

"If you have shorter hair".. yes. Yes, we do. 😂
