Medici: Masters of Florence - Straight and Curly Hair Tutorials from the Show

[@MrsKray]

Me, a girl with short hair watching your videos: NOiCE

[@8LyJu8]

Same! I'm letting it grow because I want to wear this hairstyles.

[@PhebusdesTours]

I feel you! But while I'm happy with my short hair, I really enjoy styling other people's hair. Can't figure out why.

[@erroree]

Short hair is qt

[@redhed515]

Hi! I am an old lady (49) with waist length natural red hair (no grey!) and I love your videos. I’ve tried some of the Viking styles. Thanks for your videos!

[@greenknitter]

Fellow old lady here (51) and I'm growing my hair longer so I can do some of these styles. One of the things I love about these styles is you don't have to be young for (most of) them to look great and age appropriate :)

[@irishjestyr4937]

Just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. I am very amateur when it comes to doing my hair (ponytails for life) and you make me feel like I can actually do something different with my hair. I’ve tried several styles now with great success! I am more confident knowing my hair looks good and I can actually do it myself

[@olelokupanahaodev1959]

When you have short ass hair but still watch this regardless Love your tutorials btw, you are so gorgeous. 😍 Happy New Year's!!

[@kurehanokimonoyume4739]

That's kinda off-topic, but I think that eyeshadow suits you, makes your eye-coulour really bright. The moments you look in the camera, damn, your eyes arehypnotising!

[@unfabgirl]

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see this until the new year, but I am so happy you finally covered these looks. I adore the show and am so impatient for season 2! They are gorgeous as always and I love to watch you show how to do these looks.

[@patriciacvener1968]

My hair is 40+ inches long, very fine and very straight. Your tutorials are very inspiring!

[@KimberlyBorgeSD]

I'm definitely going to give lacing a try when I go to work at the salon! I'm a nail tech there, so if I can impress the cosmetologists with a style like this, it'll be so worth it!

[@pepinella5624]

Thank you so much for introducing the method of hair taping to me! I tried it out for the first time today and it holds the braids in place far better than any hair pins. Also it looks really neat without any hairpins sticking out and it is much more comfortable to wear. From now on I will use this method instead of hair pins whenever possible. Also, I love your videos and your gorgeous hair!

[@MGLeal]

Please do Season 2! I can’t figure out Lorenzo’s mother’s hair and it looks amazing!

[@KatieCatWalker]

I've been waiting for you to do Madici. I hope you do more videos on this show like you've done with GoT and others. Thank you.

[@CarlaMcCarthyPomegranate96]

Oooo, I'm gonna try Contessina's style first!

[@maria901]

I love these hairstyles.

[@264aub]

I love the second hairstyle! You've inspired me to push my hairstyling techniques! I've been a fan since I saw your Leia Halo Braid video! Thank you for so many nice hairstyles/braid tutorials!

[@silvousplaits]

Oof those were some rough video editing days, haha. Thanks for sticking around! :)

[@akechijubeimitsuhide]

These are realyl lovely! Binged 2 seasons in 3 nights :D Meanwhile, in Season 2, Francesco has the prettiest hair. It's just so fluffy!

[@debbydee8041]

Thank you for making this video And these hairstyles are totally made for you

[@gittevandevelde2208]

I think the thread can be a really nice accent with a contrasting color.

[@ariella6853]

I Love your Videos so much! They give me lot of inspirations! Thank you so much! Greetings from Germany

[@patriciagarcia5301]

[@hallie007]

[@lindsaypetersen5940]

I can't wait for my hair to grow back then I can try some of these hair styles

[@mrsc6917]

BEAUTIFUL

[@michelleramirez4507]

That show is cool❤️

[@manuela_esse]

Lovely hairstyles! I will try Maddalena's but without the hairstick because it's not historically accurate. The series should have taken inspiration from the artists of the time and they would have seen that women wore mostly twisted hair tied with ribbons. I am part of a Renaissance reenactment group of the same period of Medici family and I checked the paintings of the time to reproduce the hairstyles (Piero della Francesca, Botticelli, Pollaiolo, Crivelli). Botticelli's Simonetta Vespucci has loose, wavy hair with wonderful braids and in Season 2 not even on her they reproduced one of them. Maybe you can try one from the paintings?

[@Arancesca]

Come si chiama il vostro gruppo? :)

[@manuela_esse]

@@Arancesca Il Solenne Ingresso :)

[@sophiejones7727]

The style in the painting requires an impossible amount of hair. Nor would you want to actually wear that much hair even if you could achieve the style using extensions. You'd be liable to hurt your neck. However, various parts of the style would be achievable including the waves around the face. She has small augmenting braids going down her scalp to her ear, which then begin subtracting when there's no more hair to add. That's likely what creates the tassel effect. The ends of the braids are then looped back on themselves in a figure eight pattern and probably sewn down. To achieve the exact curl pattern she has, you need thick highly textured hair: but you can create the waves artificially. The way to create waves is to curl and then brush out. In this case particularly it's best to style before brushing out otherwise the braiding will be a nightmare. If you need artificial hair, horsehair is actually better than human: it's less prone to static and will give you the stiffer texture you want here. You can make the tassels and then attach them to your head, that would actually be fairly easy and it's certainly not inaccurate either.

[@manuela_esse]

@@sophiejones7727 which painting are you referring to? There are several! Back then, women had usually long hair and when needed they added extensions or padding. Personally I have 6 extensions made from my own hair and I'm waiting for 24" extensions. There are so many kinds of extensions nowadays that won't hurt the neck... check out The Borgias, which is a few decades after The Medici, and see how many hair pieces they used to achieve that look and hair thickness

[@sophiejones7727]

@@manuela_esse ah, this is the one: artsandculture.google.com/asset/idealized-portrait-of-a-lady-portrait-of-simonetta-vespucci-as-nymph/GwFKQCuQs0yvFA?hl=en&ms=%7B%22x%22%3A0.5%2C%22y%22%3A0.5%2C%22z%22%3A8.512040369148112%2C%22size%22%3A%7B%22width%22%3A3.45847703313253%2C%22height%22%3A1.2374999999999996%7D%7D. It's not a question of length it's just that nobody has that MUCH hair on their head, even if they keep their hair really healthy (and back in the time of the Medicis, that was tricky even if you *were* rich).

[@LucretiaPearl]

If I hadn't had to cut my hair so short to make it look less scraggly (hormonal imbalance caused hair loss), I'd gladly try so many of these. Might have to try some on my friend's hair.

[@majar23]

Watching your videos made me realize I kinda want to grow my hair out again

[@rubyfkat]

R🌹..gorgeous!!😍

[@meredithRN1013]

Have you watched videos by Janet Stephens? Her historically accurate hairstyles are so interesting

[@silvousplaits]

Yup! She's the reason I actually won't do any historical Roman styles, because hers are just so masterful that they're the only ones anyone should watch.

[@blackrose538]

Happy New Year! I sadly won't be trying any of those hairstyle anytime soon. I just got a new haircut and I wear my hair short again. I can't get these to work with only clip-in extensions either :( Extensions are just so hard to style for me :( But I would LOVE to wear the first hairstyle. So pretty!

[@erroree]

You are brilliant i could never :D! :0:3

[@ireneanzures355]

I just love everything you and Shivon thank you young lady sorry but I don't know name

[@silvousplaits]

I'm Shannon :)

[@gabriellaegri7553]

Hi! Could you PLEASE tell us the length and diameter on both ends of the hair pins? Many thanks in advance!

[@silvousplaits]

The sticks you mean? These are 6cm, 1cm diameter. Though I'd recommend these, as they're a really close match to the style of the sticks in the show: www.etsy.com/listing/509317982/turquoise-gemstone-hair-stick-brass-hair?ref=user_profile

[@AmazingKa7]

You're so lucky to have light hair, when I do intricate styles so much of the detail disappears unless I'm in sunlight

[@sophiejones7727]

Even a very subtle difference in color or texture would help the eye follow the detail. You can use thread or ribbon to provide some color contrast. That is a very old hairstyling tradition, which really ought to be brought back. Another thing to do is to apply texture-spray to small sections of your hair, so that when the sections are woven together they catch the light differently.

[@cj222100]

Oooh I love those curls, I should get some curlers like that! How many curlers does it take to cover your whole head? I never know how many packs to buy! I also ordered your book!

[@silvousplaits]

I have six of these, though my hair is thinnish and I wish I had a couple more (too much hair on one curler, and the hair doesn't dry very well). I'd recommend 8-12 maybe? Also depends on how large the curlers are. Hope you like the book!

[@elizabethwilson5007]

Me, a woman with long curly hair seeing the first style in this video: *cries* Freaking finally

[@silvousplaits]

Turns out I've done at least one curly hairstyle in all my videos since November (next one coming out is uber curly too). This is for everyone who always complained on my old videos about not attempting them due to curls!

[@sigfridironside647]

Hey Can you make a video about charles Vane hair from black sails? He looks really dope

[@janeskretvedt4678]

I'm dying to try the Maddalena, but will definitely need to use curlers. What setting lotion did you use?
