Braids & Ribbons🎀
In most Slavic cultures, it was a tradition for unmarried girls to have their hair in braids, and in some cultures, tied with a ribbon too.
Once a girl got married, she would have to tuck and hide her hair in a headdress, headscarf or cap/bonnet. (I will talk more about this in my next posts❤️)
In many cultures, as part of the marriage ceremony, girls would have their hair braided into two parts, then put into a crown hairstyle as shown above, before finally having their hair covered during or after the ceremony.
Braids and ribbons can symbolise a young girl's beauty and freedom❤️
In many areas, ribbons are worn on the tail of the braids as shown above, at the top from the Łowicz region, Poland🇵🇱 & from the Brest (Брест) region, Пружаны, Belarus🇧🇾❤️
An embellished ribbon from Očová, Slovakia🇸🇰❤️

Okay, my sweet pampers. A new historical comedy just dropped. I KNOW it's not supposed to be historically accurate and it annoys me when common historical realities are presented as the most absurd thing compared to the modern world, but I can say that after the first episode I'm enjoying it a lot.
