fun fact: originally my Egyptian fashion video series was going to have a video just about hair styling, but I cut it because while I had some info it didn't feel like enough for a segment. I do at some point want to do something about that: maybe a follow up video once I find more info or a post series.

#cipher talk #What I have boils down to a good amount of detailed information on Siwi women's hair #Two styles popular in the early 1800s (one of which was still worn in the 1970s in Bahariya iirc)#And that Beja women and other groups by the Red Sea use(d) gost fat mixed with herbs for styling and protecting braids #Masr #I did find some more info about items Coptic women have used for hair (the padded headbands: jeweled strips: and hairpins)#But still not all that much bc the artistic convention often covers Coptic women's hair too #I did also find an old photo of a woman posing with her tarha falling off a bit and she had a crown braid #Oh and a little about Nubian hair but really only because of the forehead pendant the Fatijja/Fadicca wear
