Renaissance hair taping in a braid crown, stays up 2 weeks

Early modern (Tudor, Elizabethan, Stuart, Renaissance) women didn’t have rubber bands to put their hair up, and pixie cuts were not the fashion. Hair taping is a technique where you use a ribbon to sew your braid down to the rest of your hair to keep it in place. Supplies: - 6yd of 1/8“ ribbon (linen tape or grosgrain) - Claw-clip - Yarn needle Benefits I’ve found: - It stays up for 2 weeks. - It’s comfortable to sleep on, even though a car accident has made me unable to use pillows. - Historic and religious head-coverings both easily anchor to the braid crown.

In costume, I tend to portray a 16th-century Florentine (Italian) woman named Grazia Morgano. I’m a member of the Barony Storvik, Kingdom of Atlantia chapter. (I am *not* in costume in this video.) I’m also one of the few members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) who still covers her hair.
