[@bostonrailfan2427]

you gotta admire Bill’s ability to cut, dye, and curl all while you were hungover…i mean “asleep” 🤣 and those little anti-Macassars are still in use on Amtrak trains, apparently they’re helpful in preventing the spread of certain nasties in hair as well as keeping the upper part of seats clean

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

True

[@MarcusZepeda]

the hairstyles and beards and mustaches of the Victorian era, it's so fascinating but, I know that some men did have clean shaven faces, too in the 1800s but my most favorite mustache style is the curly handlebar mustache so cool

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes, like today, some did not take to facial hair.

[@ShaddySoldier]

I've got a great photo of my great great great or so Grandmother who lived out west. At first I always through she was wea r in a fancy bonnet but it turned out to be one of those brimmed hats it hour a crown to it. Has the sides turned up. What I thought was once a fancy hat turned out to be her hair out the top, the hat was used for the style to keep it in place. Doing up your hair for a lady must have been a difficult ordeal in the Frontier, yet the ladies still managed to look beautiful and work in dresses. What a time it must have been!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes, Women didn't wash their hair every day. Maybe the oils in their scalp would help them style it. Not 100% sure, but I'll try to find out.

[@ShaddySoldier]

@@ArizonaGhostriders any girl today will tell you not to wash your hair every day too. Can be bad for the scalp. But mostly it's so they can tell you they are "washing their hair" the day you ask them out on a date probably.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

@@ShaddySoldier Well....wouldn't you know it. Yeah, the Victorians may have gone longer than a day. I read it somewhere, or maybe Odessa told me, but it was definitely longer than I would have thought.

[@brianfuller7691]

Victorian hair was definitely interesting. Women's hair was long with various styles to put it up when needed. Hairpins helped. Men's hair varied, particularly on the Frontier. Even the U.S. Army decided to begin enforcing hair regulations in the 1880s. Check out the hair in Deadwood.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yes, There were a few holdouts from the early frontier period with crazy hair, but by-and-large they cleaned up a bit.

[@robmarshallofficial]

Very interesting. I’ve gone for a clean cut but growing the top to slick back slightly

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Whatever works for ya

[@WheelgunDan]

MANY times at my day job have I heard... "What's with your mustache?" to which I reply that it is for my 1800's Western character/persona that I portray. Or to keep it simple I'll just say I'm an Old West Reenactor.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah. You could just say, "I'm the Marlboro Man" and let it go from there.

[@brianfuller5868]

Always great, Santee. I still use Castor Oil( great stuff). Barbers were one of the centers of community life along with the saloon. Great Vids.

[@arailway8809]

U S Grant had a low opinion of young officers with their hair parted in the middle. The trail driving cowboys generally let their hair grow long until they hit the rail head. Then they took a bath, got a shave and a haircut and bought some fancy clothes. One settler in Texas was feeding a man who came to the table with his hat on. When the settler asked him to take his hat off, the man exposed where he had been scalped by the Indians. Cowboys tended to take their hats off indoors, but over time they wore them while eating at a cafe. Recently a man was reported to have worn his cap throughout a funeral service in Arkansas, a backward state, northeast of Texas. At a cattleman's convention in Fort Worth, early in the 20th century, one of the things to do, was to get your mustache blacked. The highlight was when a cowman's buddies grabbed him, showed him a hot branding iron, exposed a patch of his skin, then applied a piece of ice to the spot. I saw no reports of killings, but I'm pretty sure salty threats were made.

[@farpointgamingdirect]

Custer's nickname at West Point was "Cinnamon", because he favored cinnamon scented hair oil. Quite the dandy! I learned a lot about General Custer as I portrayed James H Kidd who began his cavalry career with the 6th Michigan Vol Cav and rose in rank to Brigadeer General commanding the Michigan Brigade after Custer was promoted to divisional command. His book, "Recollections of a Calvaryman" is an excellent resource for information and insight. His description of his initial response to first seeing General Custer was, "He sat his horse as if to the manner born..." but his first impression of Custer's velveteen uniform was "of a circus rider gone mad..." WOLVERINES!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

[@bigblue6917]

I have wondered where the antimacassar came from. Now I know. Interestingly the flap collar worn by the British Royal Navy sailor served the same purpose in that it kept the sailors long greasy hair off his uniform. Of course hair is somewhat shorter today.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah, military keeps it shorter.

[@pityparty9955]

Those fellows tarred their hair to control it. Hence the collar and their nickname ‘Tars’

Take a look at Tiburcio Vàsquez hair from back in the mid 1800..he was an outlaw......from California.....

[@WheelgunDan]

In light of current circumstances, I'm trying to decide if I should maintain my crispy military fade style haircut or if I should go with an 1800's Tombstone Val Kilmer Doc Holliday haircut. I wouldn't mind the 1800's hairstyle but being in the IT Department, the military people I work around all day in the real world might not understand my motives.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Go with the Val Kilmer!

[@WheelgunDan]

@@ArizonaGhostriders I knew you were going to say that. hahahaha

[@Joetime90]

I have long straight hair, but also had a long moustache and goatee. Had to shave the goatee but kept the moustache due to a respirator fit. And people loved it. Maybe I'm doing something right. Thinking of keeping the stache (it's hella long now) and just keeping a soul patch for accentuation (I don't have a strong chin, which is why I had the goatee). Does it make me weird, or tasteful? Time will tell I guess.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]
