Herennia Etruscilla: 3rd Century AD hairstyle, 9-strand Braid

[@greenergrass4060]

Yaaas, the Queen of Hair is baccc 😍

[@astcat]

I’m glad you’re back.

[@themurrrr]

This woman was truly blessed by the hair gods Wow, just wow, so long, so luscious and so much of it too!

[@None.of.ya.business666]

Meanwhile, the amount of hair Janet describes as the tips is my whole ponytail. That's depressing, let me tell you!

[@themurrrr]

Noneofya Business Ugh, tell me about it. I have pretty long hair, but it’s just one of these segregated bunches, ONE! BAAAARELY Ah, well, I’m too lazy to handle that much hair anyway. I am undeserving.

[@christinecortese9973]

Lordy I’m 67 and the top is thinning like crazy. Which wouldn’t be so bad if I had any to start with!

[@evamiller4886]

Wow, you aren’t kidding about needing someone else to do it for you

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

Ridiculously complex!

[@MrsBrit1]

I can manage 5 strands on my own head and 7 on someone else's. 9 is definitely not within my personal capabilities, on myself or anyone else! Lol

[@lord0jackostar]

9-strand braids are the reason hairdresser are a profession as old as civilisation.

[@huguesdiceva]

Mithras and Sol blessings upon you Janet! I'm a Severan dynasty and Crisis of the Third Century reenactor from France; it's always heartwarming to have 3rd century content being produced. The 193-284 AD period is fascinating and deserves more attention!

[@jntvstp]

I'm so glad you like it. That means a lot. cheers! J

[@deenibeeniable]

I just realized why I like your channel so much. Your presentations help me visualize history in a way that isn't "dead." When I learned history it was just names & dates - there were barely even any people. As for this period of history, it's just statues. But when I see your models, I get a glimpse of what things must have been like with people who lived & breathed during that time. Wonderful.

[@danyg1400]

Oh dear!! We missed you!! This is so cool!!

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

Wow, that is unbelievably complex. Your model has excellent hair for this. Also, I love that you compose the accompanying music!

[@Niobesnuppa]

It's crazy how long and thick her hair is. Very beautiful.

[@zappawoman5183]

The model has beautiful, healthy hair. Gorgeous colour too!

[@ah-nononoo]

omg, I've missed you! Great as always!! The background to go with the hair styling--and hair related history--is always nice

[@GLGC688]

So excited to see a new video from you!

[@rachaelpoulin1997]

HELL YEAH! New Roman hair video!

[@MissVictoryJane]

I'm so excited you made a new video!

[@MsBettyRubble]

I actually gasped when I saw a new video from you! So happy to see you back. 💕

[@MrsRayman]

Great to see you back! I always enjoy your historical work, especially showing how the needle and thread was used. The comfort of thread over hairpins must have made it easier to sleep in these hairstyles and keep them in longer.

[@kotadawndragon]

YAY! I'm so glad you're back! This is also a beautiful hairstyle.

[@craftymystery]

You're back! Welcome back! I'm so happy to see more content from you!

[@kellysong2256]

😲 Wow! I never knew ancient women literally sewed their hair in place. Thank goodness for modern hair ties

[@83croissant]

Oh yeah she’s BACK

[@KateandBree]

Anne has the perfect hair for a style like this. How perfectly luxurious of a braid. I’m betting a 5-strand could mimic the look, but it much easier to do on oneself!

[@gloriaconnolly9102]

I am so happy to see another of these!!!

[@MelancholyRequiem]

So glad to see you back!!!!!

[@MiniDebz]

Always excited to see Janet post a new vid!

[@foggyrange]

Lovely hair and braids.

[@alythyslarielfrost8068]

Welcome back! You were missed and greatly anticipated!

[@JustIsold]

Ohhh I screamed internally that there was another video! You rock!

[@Aneokame]

So glad you're back!

[@lastjohanna]

I fall asleep to these videos; I'm so happy to see a new one!

[@laurenstroupe8254]

You're back! I was running out of interesting hairstyles to try!

[@themurrrr]

OMG, I WAS JUST RECENTLY REWATCHING SOME OF YOUR STUFF!!!! Yay!!!! 🤗 what a great start to 2020 Heather Feather is back and so are you

[@annarundquist9439]

This is so stunning and so very complicated! Beautiful work Janet! I can't wait to see what you show us next! :D

[@LucretiaPearl]

Awesomely done as always!

[@bustedkeaton]

Oh awesome!!!

[@Concetta20]

You're alive! I missed your videos!

[@heutenachtistmeintag3328]

Nine strands. That was amazing to watch. And I am so happy that you're back.

[@celiatube]

Hooray you are back.... with a new (ancient) masterpiece... Thank you & happy 2020! Also, Terrific music!!!

[@AmandaTroutman]

OMG OMG OMG I have missed you! I've worn all of these other styles and I was craving something new

[@lunaloverich297]

I'm so excited you're back!

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I did not know this was a thing. Living historical hairdos. Abfab!

[@rosytwilight8894]

I'm completely speechless when finally seeing such an intricate hairstyle done so neatly without fallouts and messiness

[@marysue8271]

So happy you've returned!!!

[@None.of.ya.business666]

I'm so glad to see a new video by you!!

[@galgulator]

O love your videos, they give me ASMR feelings and make me sleepy and relaxed! I know the purpose is different, but I'm not interested in hair. I just watch to relax.

[@HGD70]

I used to put my daughter’s hair into a high ponytail, make three braids, braid the braids and loop it back up to the ponytail base. The braided portion actually looked a lot like this braided portion.

[@MrsBrit1]

Janet, please come braid my hair! I have 52" to work with. ♥️

[@MsBettyRubble]

Wow! Just wow...

[@None.of.ya.business666]

I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous. No, I'm not jealous.... not at all... *starts ugly crying*

[@MrsBrit1]

@@None.of.ya.business666 aww don't be jealous! It's taken a number of years to get here, and it's not as thick as I have wished it would be but it takes time and patience and some hairy genetics to grow to this length. Many people can't grow to this length, so I feel lucky that I have been able to, even though I keep hoping for ankle (and I'm not so sure it'll get there). Work with what you have! If you desire length, take great care of your locks and your health and you'll reach greater lengths than you think!

[@themurrrr]

How on earth are you doing this with just two hands without mixing up the hair entirely!?!?? I mean.... I see you doing it and still can’t believe it

[@scouttyra]

A good way to learn almost any kind of braid is to begin with yarn, ribbons, or similar. Although, I sort of have trouble with a four strand braid in my own hair.

[@pamelaturnbull4344]

Made my day to see your return Janet X

[@zappawoman5183]

I bet it's a relief when it's down to 3 strands!

[@lepolhart3242]

I really enjoy watching your videos. You're certainly the best when it comes to recreating ancient hairstyles.

[@LigeiaNoire]

That's crazily complicated but amazing. The model has stunning hair too. The ancients knew how to secure the hair in place. Nothing like sewing it down. I still do it and nothing works best.

[@studious_nonchalance]

So glad to see you are back! That braid is IMPRESSIVE.

[@uhlillie]

oh my goodness, you're back! glad to see one of your videos pop up in my feed :)

[@nov175]

Great work! Thank you for this video. And model is blessed with long, thick hair.

[@sharnellc.lewison4419]

I love your content. This is an amazing braided style 🙌🏾♥️!!

[@laurenlepinski2113]

Wow Janet! Your content is always so fascinating. Thank you for this new video!

[@janfranklin2114]

Wow very complicated! It's great to have you back. Any workshops coming up perchance?

[@SayJay3737]

So glad to see a new video from you! I’m a Latin teacher, and I’ve been watching your vids and using them in my classroom ever since I discovered your channel five years ago. Do you have any suggestions for shorter hair? I know you mentioned disguising hair loss in your Julia Domna video, but I’d love some styles I could recommend for my shorter-haired students! Do keep up the wonderful and informative content! Cura ut valeas!

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

Amazing! Missed you videos :)

[@blazing_orchids]

Wow, such a beautiful style!! I was so glad to see a new video from you and I look forward to more!!

[@venus_envy]

Yay, a new video! Missed these, and I always love the music as well.

[@candycain1001]

I clicked on this sooo quickly! I’m glad you’re back!

[@qwertyqaz2396]

first, So happy you're back

[@z.h.a.t8964]

INCREDIBLE...THANK YOU...please make more hair videos; i would donate/pay you for this

[@paganseashellies]

So happy to see a new video from you!

[@ah-nononoo]

Hope to see you again soon!

[@mari-atonjalkanen9920]

so special, interesting and beautiful videos by a very talented lady.

[@vaniatorrez]

Best channel ever

[@raffaintheworld]

Love your videos !!! It's a lesson of art !!! Thank you very much 💐

[@jomercer21113]

Welcome back--I've missed you sooooo much! Would a weel-to-do Roman woman's hair have been as long as that of your model?

[@leonorm8453]

Oh! So happy to see you're back :)

[@SarahBent]

Beautiful! I love your well researched videos!

[@Kiroevil]

Welcome back!

[@bizzlecrafts]

I would love to see something that uses hair pieces or disguises thinning hair. Or even a look at hairstyles for lower classes of people.

[@joyruppert4710]

Omg yes you're uploading again!!!

[@thebookwyrmslair6757]

Welcome back! We missed you!! Don't know if you saw the comment I left on your Seni Crines video, but someone else has stolen it.

[@ArgenAndJael]

Such a pretty braid! Part of me wants to try it on myself, but the sensible side of my brain reminds me that I can barely manage a seven strand braid on myself. 😋

[@lauraarquieta6608]

que cabello tan abundante!!

[@floatingsara]

Please please please do something together with LukeRanieri alias ScorpioMartianus !

[@Noblebird02]

This is amazing! Glad you're back. What do you think Julius Ceasar's wife would have worn in the late republic?

[@karinefonte516]

I was wondering if it would be acceptable, considering such long hair, not only oint and separate well the strands of hair, but also braid each one before re-braiding them into one large piece.

[@Kikyobellflower]

Yay your back!!!

[@alyson_l27]

Are you also narrating some Crow Eyes videos? Your voice is so familiar

[@darksakurattv]

Your video editing is getting a lot better, but I'd suggest a steadier camera or stabilization in iMovie. To be honest, you may even want to consider learning Final Cut Pro X. Of course, you can also record with a camera on a tripod so it doesn't move so much.

[@mittenmank]

Dear Janet, I'm looking for inspiration about the hairstyle of Galla Placidia or Flavia Serena both ca. 400 AD. Do you have any ideas about it? Thanks!

[@Tasza019]

Bow long they were wearing this hairstyle? I can't imagine that was loosen everyday just to make it again another morning 😅

[@mdstanton1813]

As a bald man who doesnt pay your bills I know i shouldn't be demanding more content from you but...I'd love to see you review visual media containing representation of historical scenes and what they got right/missed opportunities

[@Marie-tw4ui]

I would like to see the hairstyle on shorter hair.

[@jovanblom7742]

I'd love to know how the ancient Romans did the uniform waves in straight hair, as depicted here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Arab#/media/File:Portrait_head_possibly_of_Empress_Otacilia_Severa,_wife_of_Emperor_Philip_the_Arab_250-300_CE_MH.jpg Did they use heated tongs, perhaps?

[@CagdAnjelz]

How does this model have so much hair???

[@GeeklingNo1]

How do you get the thread out without damaging the hair? I have curly hair and I know I’d never see that thread again!

[@jntvstp]

I feel your pain with curly hair! However, if the thread is coarser, fatter than the hairs, you’ll be able to find it. Be patient, tug the components apart and feel for it. Have fun! J

[@kerrytakashi12]

I enjoy your videos. I find it amusing that in the old days, everyone's hair was stitched into place with thread.

[@flamingdesigurl]

This amazing, but what I want to know is how scientist couldn't figure this out?

[@1.4142]

Never know when your expertise can come to use

[@sheiavenia]

ur the best

[@GeeklingNo1]

Sooooo macrame hair?

[@George-lt6jy]

that was sicc

[@13druber]

Wow

[@Ookami1123]

AND I THOUGHT MY HAIR WAS LONG BC IT REACHED MY WAIST...

[@MrsBrit1]

Lol Waist is short....says me, with 52", knee+ length hair. 😂😁

[@colleennikstenas4921]

MrsBrit1 Seriously? Whoa!

[@MrsBrit1]

@@colleennikstenas4921 lol Yeah, seriously! It's brushing upper calf.

[@scouttyra]

I recently cut my hair from almost to my butt to about waist length. Keep on growing it, and sometimes cut the tips. The reason I cut that much was because it was quite damaged in the ends.
