Jacobean Hairstyle, early 1600's

[@ilovethelittlepiggy]

I love how "add more decorations until the hairdo looks balanced" is universal and timeless. I do this all the time! Gap in my updo? Add a flower! Missed a strand of hair when I was braiding? Pin it with a flower! Lovely video, great to see you again! 🖤

[@KateandBree]

So lovely to see you upload another video, especially for those who have shorter or less dense hair in the front thanks to a disorder or genetics. This one is quite easy on the hands as well. I love the pleasing French Hood look of this one.

[@Elwingish]

Your videos are always such a joy. Did you know that women from the Dutch town of Spakenburg use a similar device under their hair, and there are still some that wear their traditional costume every day.

[@ThildasBeinhaus]

fabulous video! I'm always in awe when you reveal those century old secrets - the techniques are always much simpler than I'd imagine it simply from looking at those hairstyles. Which makes so much sense considering it was a daily task. Amazing work on the history of the bump it! Starting my morning now by rewatching all your videos and making plans on which ones to try first ones my 2 inch have grown to 20 :D

THE QUEEN IS BACK 😍😍😍

[@HilBG]

truly a one-woman powerhouse production! excellent quality as per usual!

[@allie9855]

I'm always so impressed you can break down these complicated looking styles. Love your videos!

[@venus_envy]

Amazing work as usual! So happy to have turned up just after you uploaded, what luck! In my opinion this is one of the most, if not the most, underrated historical fashion/style channels.

[@marybeasley8219]

Dear Janet you are a true Queen. Thank you for your work unearthing the intimate lives of our female ancestors that you revealed with your research into ancient coiffure, a history that's as important (to me) as politics, war, economics and all that 'stuff.

[@Ilikebunnies-metoo]

Glad to see you back! I used to watch your channel years ago, so glad you're still uploading! 😊😊😊

[@auroramartell]

Oh I LOVE THIS! Would it be possible to do a video on Burgundian/German hairstyles?

[@AvitalShtap]

SO COOL AND AMAZING!! Hollywood movies need consultants like you!!

[@aswanson42]

Your videos are fascinating! So pleased to see another one.

[@girlysword]

love this channel, so glad you're back

[@aadaa1474]

I really love your hairstyles

[@Noblebird02]

So glad to see more videos from you

[@skyefirenails]

Thank you so much for the video! I love all of your videos. I work in film as a makeup artist and hair stylist, and your videos have been more helpful than you know!

[@annematusiewicz3712]

Wow! You look fantastic. Next year is the 400th anniversary of a few Europeans settlements near me, and this is the perfect hairstyle for the outfit I plan to make for any commemoration events. Thank you so much for your research.

[@jr-gh6eo]

Fascinating! Thank you for creating such informative, interesting, and innovate content.

[@kamerlort]

So glad to see you uploaded, especially such a stunning style!

[@jenfold]

You must make a video on how you invented your time machine too. 😂 I always find these videos equal parts delightful and informative.

[@TheRubyScott]

Very interesting to know how people managed hair before hair ties! awesome video

[@beth12svist]

Wow! With the costume, there's an immense amount of work behind such a relatively short video! And the hairstyle is fascinating. :-)

[@jntvstp]

Thank you so much! Cheers, J

[@mayetta88]

It looks like you just stepped down from a painting! So lovely 😍

[@sophroniel]

I love this! I'd be keen to see hairstyles of the beginning and end of the Elizabethan era too, as well as early european medieval!

[@1Bibliotech]

Thanks for the new upload, especially as someone who does not have especially long hair. I also have fine straight hair, so all the pins!

[@sapphireseptember]

Brilliant! It's such an interesting and pretty look. I had wondered if they used felt pads in other colours, but when you said about using felt that matches your hair colour I think that answered that question. 😊

[@CarolAnne923]

Happiness is seeing you post a new video! 😊

[@nverby]

So great to see another one of your videos! I have fairly fine hair, so it's nice to see that I can still very much do these large-scale period styles!

[@Noblebird02]

Bog body hairstyles are also easy to do with fine straight hair, almost as if that's because that's the kind of hair that northern European women are prone to.

[@Katie_v]

Wonderful video, thank you! i've slowly been going through and watching all of the videos on your channel, and enjoyed them all so far. 👏🏻

[@stargirl7646]

Lovely!

[@paganseashellies]

What a delight to see a new video from you! I've really missed your videos.

[@orsino88]

Fascinating, as always.

[@LigeiaNoire]

How beautifully done. Our modern hairstyles are quite boring compared to all the magnificent and creative updos they came up with, back in those days. Le sigh...

[@LSOP-]

Free time and free labour.

[@LigeiaNoire]

@@LSOP- People still go to the hairdresser and pay them to do nothing but ruin their hair...so

[@bustedkeaton]

​@Ligeia Noire yes, pay. As in, not live-in slaves, with modern labor laws.

[@MyNameIsBrydie]

There's literally no one stopping you from doing "magnificent and creative updos" yourself. Le le sigh...

[@LigeiaNoire]

@@MyNameIsBrydie There sure isn't and I sure do them.

[@nokomarie1963]

Always a pleasure.

[@janfranklin2114]

The research and work you do for your videos is incredible. Thank you, it’s so interesting to see how these hairstyles were created.

[@carboncookie]

Your videos are always such a delight!

[@Saisons1234]

Such an amazing video as usual! Thank you for uploading 😄

[@LadyCoyKoi]

This is wonderful and beautiful style. Do you do requests? Would be nice to know how women during this time period cared for their long locks. What did they use to clean their hair? I'm always curious of the techniques used to care for hair in the past, especially since they used very little water and yet still had super long hair, especially in medieval times and 19th century. I also appreciate the shorter styles during Tutor and Elizabethan times and even 18th century. These videos really shows how diverse and different the styles were on the same time period and throughout every era/ century. Thank you for your videos. They really help us understand of the past better and how the women dealt with their face and hair.

[@Aneokame]

@Janet Stephens If you ever need hair models, I live just outside of Bmore and have hair almost to my knees. Been a subscriber to your channel for years and greatly admire your work!

[@MsMimi1098]

always happy to see you upload!

[@eiyela]

Yaaaaay! Week made, I love it.

[@ushere5791]

hooray--a new janet stephens video! dear one, your work is beautiful. i bet i can use some of your techniques to recreate 18th century looks that use hair cushions--it's been a mystery to me. moar of you, please! :D

[@werelemur1138]

So elegant!

[@fireflower12]

aaah i never thought youd upload again! i absolutely love your videos and seeing this in my subscriptions was a joyous surprise

[@maryvance8149]

Fascinating!

[@springreinhardt157]

Stunning

[@decaserif2340]

So cool!!

[@skelleton]

Yessssss I love this channel. So stoked for a new vid.

[@anicatcandy1]

Awesomely beautiful, as always! A little advice for the hair thinning (my hair was falling out heavily due to fibromyalgia and this worked wonders- so hopefully it can help you as well) A capful of Aloe Vera Water in your shampoo (I use Head&Shoulders but any shampoo will work) -it promotes hair growth and straightens the hair follicles Trade out your shampoo for raw egg once every 2 weeks- just whisk the egg together (one should be enough for your length of hair - I have classical length hair and it takes 3) wet your hair with cool to lukewarm water and lather in the egg like you would shampoo, let it set up to 5 minutes, then rinse with cool to lukewarm water (you don’t want to cook the egg) - follow with an apple cider vinegar rinse (start with a fourth teaspoon of vinegar in about 3 cups water and adjust the amount of vinegar each wash until you find what works best for your hair) Adding 2-3 drops of lavender or peppermint essential oil to the rinse will help with the smell (that will dissipate quickly anyway) and promote hair growth and strengthen the follicles -do not rinse out the vinegar rinse as it adds minerals to the hair that are often stripped out by commercial shampoos Then I use a very small amount of coconut oil before bed, massaging it into the scalp and working it down the hair shafts - it promotes hair growth, strengthens hair follicles and acts as a natural conditioner - just be sure to sleep with at least a towel over your pillow to keep from messing it up -simply wash it out in the morning Hope this helps and I’m REALLY looking forward to seeing more of your amazing work ❤️

[@alessandramonteriggioni815]

Always wonderful videos and well researched. Thank you!

🦋 delightful

[@Susanfuzz]

Thank you!!

[@jntvstp]

You're welcome!

[@cecikierk]

Yay you're back!

[@anniekd57]

Ah! I always wondered how they got their hair so big!!

[@kerouacrivero6914]

Can you do zeus hairstyle? There is a statue with him posed throwing a lightning bolt/spear. All the best always

[@saraquill]

Lovely attire to go with your hair. Did you do the embroidery yourself?

[@jntvstp]

Yes I did, it’s great therapy!

[@jntvstp]

Yes i did. You can try techniques out yourself from the bibliography at the end of the video. Thanks! J

[@Rotten_Ralph]

Is there information regarding the pad… either creation or procurement?

[@jntvstp]

I made it by needle felting. Not difficult at all. Cheers! J

[@ElizabethJones-pv3sj]

It's interesting the way things have changed. A lot of people spend as much time as this on their hair to wash it then dry it, add a bunch of product then make it completely smooth with a flat iron every day, but the idea of washing hair daily and then using a bunch of products to make it behave has changed the way we approach hair. When hair washing was inconvenient and rare and you spent all day around open fires (even nobles who never needed to go into the kitchen had open fires to keep warm) pinning hair up out of the way was a way to keep hair clean and avoid the smell of smoke. So you made a statement with headwear or complex hairstyles. Labour even the skilled labour of a hairdresser was cheap. Whereas a flat iron can be done on your own most fashionable 16-19th century hairstyles were really designed to be done by someone else looking at the back of your head. Nowadays the way you make a statement with your hair tends to be colour, whereas significant hair colour changes were so difficult as to be almost impossible before the 20th century.

[@girlysword]

17th century bump it Looking at it that way, I think with the right styling you could wear this historical hairstyle with more modern clothing and it wouldn't look weird.

[@gnomentum]

Is there any evidence of the use of forms felted from the wearer's own hair in this period?

[@jntvstp]

Sorry for the extremely late reply! Using hair combings is a perfectly reasonable solution. It would take some time collect them, but when felted they would have had great durability and strength. The only qualifier I might add is that the coarse texture of human hair (greater than 60 microns vs less than 20 microns) might be very itchy. All the best, j
