If there is one thing that the Internet has done, it is breach the boundaries between the ivory tower scholars and the collective of humanity. Here is yet another example of a non-scholar taking on a challenge that scholars have long ago dismissed as simply wigs and costuming and re-thought the problem and applied common sense to it.

Now if only we could wrest the reigns of accreditation from the grips of the universities and vest it once again in knowledge and learning, we could start to end the brainwashing and servitude of our youth. Far too often, all a student ends up with after putting themselves nearly a hundred grand in debt is a fancy piece of paper and an even longer application line.

True dat. This woman is a perfect example of someone intellectually curious who mixes her skill as a hairdresser with her love of ancient hair styles. She's not bound by the conventional thinking of "oh, they wore wigs". Neat story.

Thanks for posting! I love stuff like this. I sent the link to all my theatrical costuming friends. :)

I know they used have their dressers sew their clothes on before zippers and buttons, so why not with hair? They didn’t wash it every day for sure.
