“Only the mullet survived” a truly timeless style

May we please have a collaboration with a modern day hair stylist? I would love to see attempts at bringing these hair styles back to life as a sort of experimental archeology!

"perhaps his mullet hair style meant something to his people..." Damn straight it did, business in the front, party in the back. Our ancestors were awesome! Edit: Just some food for thought, those needles being found with those other body "tools" would actually fit right in with them as lots of old timey hair styles used needles to braid and weave hair and pull thread stuff through the hair as well:)

Back when my hair was very very long, I would keep it mostly up in a hair tie, but then saw a video talking about bronze age Scandinavian hairstyles and decided to try out the Bredmose woman's hairstyle (the video called her the Arden Woman), with the two long braids sewn into a crown, and the hairstyle was actually surprisingly very comfortable and sturdy and looked simple and regal! Your video brought a big smile to my face, and the information on something so fascinating to me is definitely something I'll be watching again! Huge greetings from Mexico!

There's a woman on YT who has her own channel. She's a hairdresser and she does recreations of mostly ancient Roman hairstyles. She believes she's recreated Virgin Vestal hairstyle that Vestals and all brides wore. We don't have depictions because the brides usually wore veils on their heads. The hairdresser collaborated with some researchers and published an article on it in an academic journal.

Archaeologists have found some really weird stuff. I've read that they found evidence of lime-encrusted,pointed beehive hairstyles in the british isles. None of these make it into fiction. In fiction, almost every guy before 1600c.e. has greasy uncut hair like they are in a metal band.

The most terrifying thought is that the Bowl Cut Mullet survived without a body

Danish person here, it often pisses me off that people are allowed to farm on top of these burial mounds. For whatever reason, noone is protecting them

It's quite a long while after the Bronze age, but I've always been fascinated by the Osterby Man, who was uncovered by peat moss cutters in Germany in 1948. Only his head was discovered but he was still rocking his Suebian knot with fire-red hair. He allegedly lived between 75-130 CE

Can't say I expected to be learning about hair styles from the bronze age when I woke up this morning, but here we are.

I'm a professional hair and makeup artist, and I always find historical hairstyling so fascinating. I really enjoyed this video. I used to watch Janet Stephens, and still reference those sometimes, but she hasn't made a video in a couple of years. Thank you for this video!

'...And only the mullet remained.'

As someone who is very interested in the more material aspects of our ancestors cultures, clothing, hair styles, jewelry, tattoos, food, utensils, etc, this is right up my alley. It's good to discuss such things because it helps to give a more vivid picture of our ancestors, what they looked like and their way of life.

Another one hit out of the park, Dan. The images are fantastic, and the subject really helps draw me into the world of our ancestors a little more. The blend of history and storytelling is your particular gift, thank you!

It's so good of you to repeat that "we just don't know." I find it baffling that scholars can debate things with scant evidence. How can anyone take a firm position, particularly a professional who looks to empirical data and tested materials to draw even tentative conclusions. Good on you for setting a scholarly example.

I love this one! Hair and clothing is something I'm always curious about, because it helps me form a vision of these people's daily lives

This video being promoted by keeps it's a little hilarious 😆

Strange to imagine one day nothing will remain of me but my mullet.

I absolutely love the bronze age, I find the entire period, artefacts, structures, burial practices and technology fascinating.
