As part of our Covid-19 response, our Shire had been having A&S themed Watch Parties, hosted via Facebook, Watch2gether, and YouTube, in lieu of our usual hands-on, in-person A&S classes. For May and June, our theme was how to cover your head if you are re-enacting a medieval European lady. Below, you’ll find links to each of the videos selected for our watch party. The Shire does not take responsibility for the contents of these videos, though an effort was made to select videos which would be useful to the medieval re-enactor.

The final selection for our online A&S Watch party for July 2020 (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) was a few hairstyles which are of questionable authenticity, having been designed to be quick, easy hairstyles for Halloween costumes, or to emulate tv shows or movies inspired by our era of interest, rather than actual historic references. But, they are fun and pretty.

The third part of our hairstyles watch-party (see Part 1 and Part 2 for more details), went into ladies’ hairstyles of the Renaissance. As before, while an effort was made to choose videos that contained references to specific historic resources, no member of the Shire of An Dun Theine can or will vouch for the accuracy of the contents of these videos.

Continuing the playlist of hairstyle videos we chose from for our July online A&S watch party, here are videos featuring hairstyles from the early through late middle ages (5th century AD to 14th century AD). As mentioned in Part 1, An Dun Theine does not take responsibility for the accuracy of any of these tutorials, though some effort was made to pick videos which reference specific, historic resources.

Due to ongoing social distancing, our July class was an online watch party, viewing YouTube videos on recreating (primarily) ladies’ hair styles from Europe. We are not guaranteeing the accuracy of any of these videos, though an effort was made to find videos that referenced specific historic resources. Here is the first part of the playlist we chose videos from: the Ancient World.
