~ Bundle of Hair Extensions.

Date: ca. 2114-1502 B.C.

Period: Old Kingdom-early New Kingdom; 16th-18th Dynasty

Medium: Human hair, linen

▪︎ From the source: These hair extensions would have been placed in a tomb for use in the afterlife. In this world, Egyptians used extensions to make their wigs or natural hair thicker and more attractive, just as people do today. The reliefs in this case show hairdressers adding extensions like these to the hair or wig of Queen Neferu.

This is for East Asian hairstyles in general but idk where else to ask this(and this does include traditional Chinese fashion): How much of women’s (or men’s though I would guess mostly women) hairstyles was composed of wigs? Feel free to just answer this in relation to Chinese hairstyles specifically if answering for any others deviates too much from the blog purpose.

Hi! Thanks for the question, and sorry for taking ages to reply!

Historically, it was quite common for Chinese women to use wigs to create their hairstyles, as many historical hairstyles were not meant to be done with real hair -- although I don't know the specific percentage of women who did so. Wigs became prevalent in China starting from the Spring and Autumn period (771-476 BC) when they were popularized by upper-class women, and were widely used by women until the 20th century, when hairstyles became simpler. Wigs could be made from real human or animal hair, other fibers, paper, or wood.

The following posts/links discuss wigs in Chinese history in more detail, please check them out!:

As for men, they typically put their hair into a bun and encased it in some kind of covering (cloth, hat, cap, headdress), so there was no need for them to use wigs. However, as I explained in this post, some men would insert a wig/towel/other material inside their hat/cap to give it more structure.

To this day, wigs/hairpieces/extensions are necessary and commonly used in creating traditional Chinese hairstyles.

If anyone has more info on this topic, please share! ^^

Hope this helps! (image via)

As Black women, we experience a continuous poison that has been pumped into a society that is known as misogynoir that has caused us to normalise the hatred of our natural #type4hair texture

Finally getting around to backing up my reviews from my Etsy shop. Someday I might want to do a website, so it would be nice to have all this backed up to my social media...

With over 900 reviews on Etsy, it would take forever to print-screen each one, so I only copied the reviews where customers added photos. If you would like to read the reviews, they are all here: www.etsy.com/shop/NVCL3ARBVTT3RFLY/reviews

fake hair and wig difference

The main difference between fake hair and wigs lies in their application and purpose:

Fake Hair: Fake hair typically refers to individual hairpieces, extensions, or hair accessories that are used to enhance or change the appearance of natural hair. Fake hair can be clip-in extensions, ponytail extensions, or hairpieces used to add volume, length, or color to natural hair. Fake hair is temporary and can be easily removed or applied at home.

Wigs: Wigs, on the other hand, are full-head hairpieces that cover the entire scalp. Wigs are used to completely change a person's hairstyle, color, or texture. They are often worn as a fashion statement, for medical reasons (such as hair loss), or as part of a costume. Wigs are typically more substantial than individual fake hair pieces and require more effort to apply and style.

In summary, fake hair refers to individual hairpieces or extensions used to enhance natural hair, while wigs are full-head hairpieces that cover the entire scalp and are used to completely change a person's hairstyle.

how they react when you randomly say “im so lucky to have you”

ft. luffy, law, zoro, sanji, ace, shanks

a/n: idk what this is but I thought of it! And it’s been a while since I’ve written headcanons/imagines like this so this is kinda weird and badly written this time LOL

with a giant grin plastered across his face, luffy’s response is instant and genuine, “im so lucky to have you too!” he laughs boisterous and bright as he continues, “that’s perfect isn’t it? im lucky to have you and you’re lucky to have me! we sure do make a great team.” you can’t help the way your body shakes with warm laughter at his sincerity.

there’s a moment of silence as law gathers himself. you think he didn’t hear you but then he coughs to break the silence and gain your attention. the tips of his ears are pink and he’s avoiding eye contact with you as he mumble his response, “yeah well, thanks for putting up with me.”

zoro pauses briefly turning to look at you with mild surprise. but before he’s even had time to fully process your remark, he finds his lips quirking into a smirk as you add on “i mean you are a bit of a moron, but you’re MY moron, ya know?” and with that he’s laughing the most he has in a while (but you’ve always had that affect on him, always made him feel things he didn’t think was possible), “you took the words right out of my mouth, dumbass.”

“my love,” sanji exclaims, “it’s me who should be considered the lucky one!” he gently reaches for your hand to bring it to his lips. he places a delicate kiss to each of your knuckles before continuing his sentiment, “i get to see your wonderful face and spend time with you each day. it’s far more than i am worthy of!” but then your eyebrows knit together and your lips are being pulled into a pout and sanji feels his love for you grow tenfold as you object to his statement, “you deserve all my love and affection!” and sanji concedes immediately because your word is law.

wordlessly, ace pulls you into a tight embrace, burying his face in the crook of your neck. “you okay?” you ask, and the concern in your voice is enough to make his heart melt. “yeah, can we just stay like this for a little.” he whispers into your skin. you nod, understanding his need for this reassurance, “i mean it though, i really am lucky to have you.” and as you slowly run your fingers through his hair, ace whispers “i really really love you.”

a cheeky grin sneaks across shanks’ face “you sure are! i am pretty funny, sexy, caring, and intelligent.” you snort at his expected response, “not to mention humble.” he gasps in faux shock, “of course! how could I forget humble?!” as you burst into a fit of laughter so beautifully unrestrained shanks can’t help but think that out of the two of you, he is, most certainly, the lucky one.

A applaud to those people who manage to braid fake hair into their real hair and make it look good.

Cause you guys are sitting there for hours while ain't got the patience to even braid one braid and that's honestly even more pathetic now

[room-bin]

i think it would be funny to get a tattoo of a singular hair and then whenever someone saw it theyd be bothered by it and try to get it off but then you have the satisfaction of knowing they won’t be able to get it off and you can internally laugh at them cuz it’s not a real hair it’s a tattoo
