18th Century Woman’s Hairstyles
A collection of 18th Century paintings from France & England, depicting some of the hairstyles of the time, among them the tête de mouton (or “sheep’s head”), the pouf & the hérisson (or “hedgehog”).

Interestingly as I was gathering paintings for this reference , I came across this excerpt regarding the elaborate hairstyles that were fashionable during the 1770’s from Marie-Antoinette Mother, Queen Maria Theresa to Marie-Antoinette.

In 1775, Queen Maria Theresa of Austria-Hungary wrote to her daughter Marie-Antoinette -“Likewise I cannot help but touch upon a point that many of the papers repeat to me too often: it is the hairstyle that you wear. They say that from the roots it measures 36 pouces high and with all the feathers and ribbons that hold all of that up! You know that I have always been of the opinion that one should follow fashion moderately, but never carry it to excess. A pretty young queen full of charms has no need of all these follies. Quite the contrary. A simple hairstyle suits her better and is more appropriate for a queen. She must set the tone, and everyone will hurry to follow even your smallest errors…”

Marie-Antoinette responded - “It is true that I am a bit occupied by my hairstyle, and as for the feathers, everyone wears them, and it would look extraordinarily out of place not to” (source: Hosford, Desmond. “The Queen’s Hair: Marie-Antoinette, Politics, and DNA.”).

Jean-Baptiste Debret (1768 – 1848), “Esclaves nègres, de différentes nations (Black slave women of different [African] nations),”1834-1839

The dress of both enslaved and freed Afro-Brazilians was linked to their African past while also incorporating European and Brazilian elements. However, African dress elements are not indicators of freedom or slavery, as there were many free Africans in Brazil. African women’s clothing of [the nineteenth century] follows that of other women, who are all shown wearing outfits made up of bodices and skirts. Slaves’ clothes were often cast-offs from women of the house. Turbans were commonly seen in slave and freed populations throughout the Caribbean and Americas, suggesting African origins. However, European and Muslim influences must also be considered. The artist Jean-Baptiste Debret recorded African slave women in Brazil as having plaited and adorned hair, similar to African styles.

This is very, very cool.  It is so rare to see depictions of Africans, slaves, or practially any minority in art from this period.  I think their hairstyles and headdresses are magnificent!
