Knightly Hairdos
Sir Wolf:
i think it was gerry embleton had a great showing of the different haircuts for the time periods
Sir Gerard de Rodes:
Hair and beards were definitely a fashion statement and went through trends during the middle ages. Mens hair (head and face) usually followed the style that the current king chose to wear his.
I quite often sport a forked goatie as my king and his son did....

Alas I no longer have the facilities to grow a full head of wavy locks so have decided to go for the soldiers style of choice ( vastly decreasing the chances of becoming a home for lice) a number 1 all over, right down to the wood.

Amen brother!
Stanislaw:
Growth of long hair on my head is something I've been keeping up with for more than a year now. Check these drawings of effigies from around the period I aim to portray:
Aiden of Oreland:
I noticed that in a lot of theses effigies it depicts people with wavy hair. In fact in a lot of medieval art work I see this. Is it the actual style or just an artistic way to draw hair? If it was the style did people make their hair wavy?
