More to the point, it’s a video that he filmed himself. As early John Green videos show, someone who is only filming their upper body may not necessarily bother to dress their lower body.

Yes! And make-up! Loved the BBC series Make-up: A Glamorous History, presented by make-up artist Lida Eldridge. Fascinating and weird stuff (mouse hide for eyebrows!).
@@pinsenttailoring , Tip: if you ever want a modern equivalent of your cute "wig powder bellows" you could buy a plastic/rubber manual 'Baby Nasal Aspirator' and fill that with wig powder...to puff your locks. ✌🏻
@@dcarbs2979 probably not at all, they knew such compounds were dangerous and hardly used them. I certainly haven’t seen either in any hair powder recipe.
I just watched Bernadette Banner's how to make a pocket video featuring the dumpster fire embroidery! I'm pleasantly surprised to see he also has a dumpster fire pocket😁👏👏👏
BTW, for those who don't know, the wig bag protected the coat collar and back of the coat from the wig powder. Fine powder on dark woolen broadcloth would be hard enough to brush off, a garment such as a man's coat, which could not be washed. But if the powder soaked up any of the pomade before it got on the coat, it would be very difficult to get it off the coat fabric. They didn't have dry cleaning in the 18th century!
But I didn't understand why he left his collar buttoned up so high - surely it would have been safer (less messy) to tuck it under or at least unbutton it...?
@@SarahWelstead The collar is not buttoned up. Watch a video of a Regency man getting dressed. It is the stock/cravat wrapped around his neck. As for putting the wig under the collar, if they did that, then no one could see it! The whole point of the wig was to be seen wearing expensive accessories that were in the most current style. All about conspicuous consumption.
No, your not!! He looked straight out of a movie or romance book cover. I wish men would get out of the suits they wear...love this style of men's clothing.
Heya, unsolicited hair advice: when brushing/combing knotty long hair start from the ends and get knots out of them, then move closer towards the roots to comb out the knots in the middle of the hair before finally moving closer to the roots and combing through the whole length of the hair to remove all knots, this saves you from breaking a comb, hurting your head, and getting frustrated. It was probably for dramatic effect in your video, but when a friend of mine was trying to brush their long hair they had never been taught that before and was happy for long hair advice. Xx
Wow that hairstyle actually looks great on you, you can pull it off very well ! I feel like people randomly decided one day that the “powdered wig” look was ugly so now you only see them in contexts where they’re supposed to look ugly and unflattering which makes it hard to envision a time period when they were seen as attractive but this video really shows how that type of look could have been sought after !
Yes, it seems like now the wigs in that style deliberately look as if a rat has been at them in the back corner of someone’s attic for a couple decades, so seeing it done on natural hair makes it much easier to see it as a ‘modern’ style in the sense of something people actually wore and found fashionable.
One reason the fashion dies out is that a tax was levied on it; it was a luxury item and got much more expensive so it started to fade out Edit to change fax to tax
In 1795, Great Britain passed a tax on wig powder, and Whiggishly-minded folks, including the then-Prince Regent and later King George IV, decided to eschew powdered hair for short, natural hair. In solidarity with the French Revolution (in its early days).
There are a suprising number of portraits of Alexander Hamilton, who favoured several hair styles during his life; but he was wasn't a "dandy", and tended toward simpler styles which he or his valet could do in a short time, so he could get down to the Treasury Department and work on national finance. These portraits are instructive on how fashion changed during his life, and also valuable for the (simpler) American take on English and French fashion. Interesting factoid: Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand fled to the USA for 2 years to escape the guillotine during the reign of Terror. Napoleon's (and the Directory, and the restored Bourbon monarchy's future Foreign Minister and possibly the greatest diplomat who ever lived) became a good friend of Hamilton, whose portrait he kept for years over his mantlepiece back in Paris. Talleyrand was always the height of understated elegance, though he had arrived penniless in Philadelphia. . . . Prince de Talleyrand, a man of the 18th century, had a head of fine, wavy, l blonde hair which (after the Directoire period), he usually wore loose and powdered the rest of his life. He liked powder scented with ambergris ("amber"). He would tie his hair into a queue when travelling, which he did a lot when accompanying Napoleon around battlefields. As a cripple who liked his comfort, he didn't enjoy this; but prudently wore plain clothes in sober colours in hopes not to be shot at. In the 1830's, when "Old Talley" (as the Brits called him) was in his 70's and French Ambassador to England for King Louis-Phillipe, on formal occasions he still wore knee-britches and white silk stockings with black (latchet) shoes with diamond buckles and RED Heels. This was a private joke to himself, for only aristocrats who enjoyed the favour of the king wore red-heels in the reigns of Louis XIV, XV, and XVI. Red heels of course disappeared (along with the heads of the aristocrats) during the reign of terror. When he was French Ambassador to England, he was the only ancien-regime aristocrat in the world who flaunted red heels on his court shoes. For every day, working at the Embassy, he wore what was fashionable in London: long trousers, frock coats and a top hat. He continued to wear the high, starched neck cloths fashionable before the turn of the 19th century. BTW, Talleyrand was born with a right club foot, which means that on his dress shoes, his right heel had to be built up; and he always used an elegant walking stick. (When Napoleon appointed him Grand Chamberlain of France, The walking stick he used with his elaborate Court regalia was a gold-topped, spiralling ivory narwhale tusk. The man had serious style) Most days he wore a lace-up orthopaedic shoe with an iron brace up to the knee. But he had all his portraits painted as if he had normal feet. His enemies called him "The lame devil", but his limp and ugly club foot didn't prevent him from being being notoriously attractive to women, even into old age. The genius Statesman was noted for his elegant taste, charismatic charm and wit.
What happened was the French Revolution. The aristos were devastatingly elegant, so when they were overthrown, the peasants after 1790 deliberately threw out the fashions and powdered hair to adopt the equivalent of "grunge" in reaction to an excess of good taste -- "Liberty, Equality, & Fraternity, - or Death!" Ugly was now the rage.
Highly recommend lead swabs. They're q tips that you wet and swipe on a surface, and change colour in the presence of lead. They're inexpensive, and absolutely invaluable for antique collectors. I'm sure that would be helpful! Both the coiffed look and unstructured mop look absolutely lovely!
Amazing to see a men's historic hair styling tutorial! We aren't spoiled with those. You totally rock that hairstyle! My vote is on keep your hair long and get proper styling tools and do this for everyday wear! At least for a while? You'll need a nightcap to protect your pillow, though... And a powdering cloak of some kind. Also, my scalp hurt by proxy when you tugged that comb through from the roots. Ouch! Comb from the ends, and you won't go prematurely and unnecessarily bald...
A most entertaining video. Definitely do not cut your languid and luxuriant tresses just yet. You ask if we think you should try other hairstyles of the 18th century. Regardless of what we think, you know you want to experiment with other 18th century hairstyles following the, dare I say, crowning success of this splendid style.
A wig bag. They thought of everything as a fashion piece in ye olden days. I never gave it much thought when seeing pictures of men with ponytails, but now that you pointed it out, I learned something new. It was fun watching you play with your hair. Thanks for the entertainment. I like the long hair on you. Maybe you can curl and tease it into submission.
As a gentleman who wears long hair myself I've felt very inspired by this look. I would love to learn more on the subject. I've followed your videos since you started posting, as I had always lacked a channel wich tackled the mens side of fashion history, so I was really excited for you starting a youtube channel. I've also been delighted to see you have such great fun and excitement. I looking forward on new videos, and if you want to hear my advice on the haircut theme, I defently wouldn't cut It at all...
Anyone else remember the shampoo commercial...."Don't hate me because I'm beautiful"... with hair tosses and hair flips? 🍄🍄 Great video and dumpster fire pocket.
When combing, start at the ends, then work back to the roots. Less ouch that way. If you ever got the urge to do an 18th century version of a member of the 80's band "Flock of Seagulls"... - Cathy (&, accidently, Steve), Ottawa/Bytown
You may not be a hairdresser from the 21st century but I believe you were one in the 18th century as you did a fantastic job portraying the look. You’re an absolutely delightful dandy. I’m very impressed and would love to dance a minuet with you sir.
Orris root is the crushed up rhizomatous tuber-looking root node of an iris for those wanting to try that hair powder stuff (it looks like a chunk of ginger)
Keep it long. William Pitt the Younger hair is definitely you. And I see you have a Dumpster burning embroidered pocket too. Was it a present from Bernadette?
The design is by Sewstine, not Bernadette. Many costumers have bought the pre-embroidered kit from her and made one (or, if they have an embroidery machine, bought the pattern file).
DUDE! This was wonderful. So you put fat in your hair, add powder to make extra hold gel/paste, melt it slightly into shape, and let it cool and set. This was great fun to watch, and supports my theory that instead of OMG! I can't get my hair cut because of lock down! We should embrace growing our hair longer and experimenting with new (or old) and funky styles. Bravo, sir!
I love this! Don't cut it! First of all, you're damn cute with your long locks. But also, where can we go for our 18th century men's hair styling tips? You're all we have, Monsieur Pinset.
I love your hair like this! It does truly settle the whole look, and your hair in it's 21st century normalcy is also perfectly attractive (I'm a long hair aficionado).
Shirt goes on after the hair is done. Cornstarch is flammable. You're doing very well. Retired hairdresser here. This would be fun to try!!!!! You bring your many skills to this. Be patient. It takes practice.
This was so much fun! You might have better luck with a curling iron, which has a straight barrel, rather than a curling wand, which has a taper. Unless you want beachy waves, which would be quite fetching, if anachronistic. :-)
This was lovely, little tutorial. The final look was quite convincing, you looked like you stepped out of a gentleman’s fashion plate of the period. In regards to your hair length, that will depends on your comfort.
Looks very lovely! Men's hairstyles form the mid 18th century and early 20th century is the peak of men's fashion according to me. I'd love to see more!
You’re a vision! I just watched that Georgian episode on the English Heritage site and now, here YOU are with the hair powder and pomade demo they chickened out on to show on camera.
Yes!!!! More hair videos! And some wig videos!!!! I recently graduated from Cosmetology school and they only had a few sentences about the history about these times and some historical wigs. So I would be very interested in all the education in this area!!!! Please and thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hairdresser here! I found this both informative and fun. You did a brilliant job of your hair! What a neat idea with the (truncheon?) to form the barrel curls (that is what I knew them as when entering competitions). You made me chuckle quite a lot with your delightfully bonkers personality. Keep it coming. I know a lot of sewing peeps that will also enjoy your content.
Very keen for more hair videos. You had a really wild Beethoven look there when tossing the deconstructed hair, and to top it off I think Mr Zarlengo could do some excellent styles with the current hair length.
This was utterly delightful. The pride and joy were palpable when you get those buckles JUST SO (and well deserved...I struggle to get my hair to curl the way I want it to). When you took it all down and shook it out you looked positively Byronic!
Excellent!! I love your hair long, especially in this style. It's so fun to experience fashion history with you on this channel! Historical men's fashion is so fascinating to me and I get so excited every time I see that you have a new video out. Take care!
I've been thinking about this since you mentioned it on your Instagram 😂😂 can't wait to see what you're up to! 💙And it doesn't hurt that 18th century fashions have been catching my attention more and more recently 🥰
As far as I can tell, this is the only video on youtube about 18th venture men's hair styling. I was looking for earlier in the century at first, but this is awesome too! We'll need more, sir!
Omg you saved me!! I’m a girl, with short hair, and I have to dress up as a colonial guy for my APUSH project! This is a really good tutorial, thank you!!
I was enthralled for the duration of this video. Thank you so much for enduring the pain (and asthma inducing clouds of powder) to recreate this beautiful 18th century trend.
This brought back memories of being "aged" to play Firs in The Cherry Orchard. While not period, I wonder if a heated roller set might be helpful to make your hair cooperate with the styling.
This style really suits you 😍😍 You look like an 18th century painting come to life! I think you should keep your hair long at least until Alex is there, then get it styled so it looks more Regency 😊
I loved this video as it is so rare to see videos about what men had to do to be fashionable at this time. Now we know. It was messy and time consuming. Great job!
Well Zack, all I can really say to you; Be glad you aren't a blacksmith. The dust and sut stuck in the chimney of the forge where I did my apprenticeship, created a full 2cm of dust on every surface when we cleaned it out. It was motre dusty than any amount of hairpowder will accomplish! Nonetheless, this is very well done indeed, as per usual.
Oh boy, I can’t tell how much I enjoyed this video after waking up midnight and watching it in serenity and joy. Please sir, do keep having more of these.
'Everything...I'm not gonna show you...'
Zack is 200% not wearing breeches below the frame. These are still Pandemic Times, after all.
Neither confirm or deny, I am a world of mystery!
OMG the scandal !!!
More to the point, it’s a video that he filmed himself. As early John Green videos show, someone who is only filming their upper body may not necessarily bother to dress their lower body.

@@NSYresearch You do know that Zach has a handsome gentleman of his own, right? 😄
I would love to see more historical hair for gentlemen. I find it much rarer than styling for the ladies, and thus, infinitely more fun.
Agreed
Coz dudes hairlines be fucked up lol, and a lot of guys don’t really have much hair
100% agree👍🏻

No.
It was the peak of mens' fashion.

Many times when women want to do an elaborate up-do, their hair stylists tell them not to wash their hair. Clean hair is harder to style.

I always thought it was a ponytail and bow, never woul've imagined there was such a thing as a wig bag!!
Papa's got a brand new wig bag :-)
I always saw ponytail and a bow as something people. sailing abroad wearing during long month on ships.
Looks very lovely! Men's hairstyles form the mid 18th century and early 20th century is the peak of men's fashion according to me. I'd love to see more!
You’re a vision! I just watched that Georgian episode on the English Heritage site and now, here YOU are with the hair powder and pomade demo they chickened out on to show on camera.
Yes!!!! More hair videos! And some wig videos!!!! I recently graduated from Cosmetology school and they only had a few sentences about the history about these times and some historical wigs. So I would be very interested in all the education in this area!!!! Please and thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think that the hair is stunning, and might be a fun thing for you to work with for awhile before going back to your tophats
This is fantastic I almost never get to see male beauty and fashion historical stuff, Great video.
I can see this young chap do a haircare commercial about his luscious locks
I think you need more opportunities to style your own hair. So far, it looks better than the wigs I have seen you wear.🤗💚
@@aletaschulz1108 you’re commenting my comment by mistake 😂
Hairdresser here! I found this both informative and fun. You did a brilliant job of your hair! What a neat idea with the (truncheon?) to form the barrel curls (that is what I knew them as when entering competitions). You made me chuckle quite a lot with your delightfully bonkers personality. Keep it coming. I know a lot of sewing peeps that will also enjoy your content.
Oh yes! I loved this, was the first time I'd actually seen some try to do men's hair
Omg, I'm loooooving the 1790's windblown look. You should really keep your hair longer. Find your magic median.
The world needs more Zack.
That is all. 😁😘
Fun and facinating! I say don't cut the hair! And by all means do more hair videos! Just wonderful!😊
Love the appearance by Dusty Powder! They were amazing!! Looking forward to their next appearance!!
I think we need to bring some of these styles back! Absolutely smashing!
Very keen for more hair videos. You had a really wild Beethoven look there when tossing the deconstructed hair, and to top it off I think Mr Zarlengo could do some excellent styles with the current hair length.
This was utterly delightful. The pride and joy were palpable when you get those buckles JUST SO (and well deserved...I struggle to get my hair to curl the way I want it to). When you took it all down and shook it out you looked positively Byronic!
This actually doesn't look bad at all, made you look more handsome.
YES, more hairstyles, please.
Keep it for a while. Why not? I miss my long hair. You’ll get tired of it eventually and want to cut it. Looking very dapper and handsome.
Also your smile at 7:45 was just pure sunshine.
Excellent!! I love your hair long, especially in this style. It's so fun to experience fashion history with you on this channel! Historical men's fashion is so fascinating to me and I get so excited every time I see that you have a new video out. Take care!
OMG I love this more than any other hair tutorial I have ever seen. Your faces, your commentary, bloopers. This was great. :)
I've been thinking about this since you mentioned it on your Instagram 😂😂 can't wait to see what you're up to! 💙And it doesn't hurt that 18th century fashions have been catching my attention more and more recently 🥰
Keep the hair - fabulous!
"It's like baking a cake on your head". You slay me!
Add some beaten whipped egg whites, a hot curling iron and have a high hat hair souffle.
As far as I can tell, this is the only video on youtube about 18th venture men's hair styling. I was looking for earlier in the century at first, but this is awesome too! We'll need more, sir!
Is that a Sewstine 2020 Dumpster fire pocket I spy? This was a lovely video!
It does look like one.
Yes, it is! So cool to see it pop up here and there!
Omg you saved me!! I’m a girl, with short hair, and I have to dress up as a colonial guy for my APUSH project! This is a really good tutorial, thank you!!
Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire! Than you for your demo video!
I love these historical hair tutorials also love the longer hair.
I think you look quite the dashing gentleman with longer hair! (Of course I am biased towards longer hair in general…)
this guy is legit giving mozart not just in looks but the personality
You can see why Beau Brummell’s look became such a fad…in effect, a “Rational Dress” movement for men. Exceptional effort on this video, well done.
I love Zach's antics and sass, it is adorable! Such a handsome fellow, keep the long hair.
I am voting for long hair! This is so much fun to watch, so if its also fun to wear, let it grow, let it grow! :) :D
Excellent job! Let that hair grow!
What a wonderful idea! Taking advantage of Covid hair was brilliant. And yes.... I would absolutely love to see more. btw: You looked great 😊
I was enthralled for the duration of this video. Thank you so much for enduring the pain (and asthma inducing clouds of powder) to recreate this beautiful 18th century trend.
This brought back memories of being "aged" to play Firs in The Cherry Orchard. While not period, I wonder if a heated roller set might be helpful to make your hair cooperate with the styling.
Gentlemen would never do their own hair, so give yourself credit. Love your personality, I've seen your work on IG and FB but never heard you speak.
You are so sweet, and I am diabetic, but I still watch you. I might die of sweetness, but who cares? Lol
Love it. Leave it long. It looks good on you .
This style really suits you 😍😍 You look like an 18th century painting come to life!
I think you should keep your hair long at least until Alex is there, then get it styled so it looks more Regency 😊
This was so FUN! I'm glad the waistcoat's had such a wonderful occasion out, with your hair powdered and all.
I loved this video as it is so rare to see videos about what men had to do to be fashionable at this time. Now we know. It was messy and time consuming. Great job!
I agree men’s fashion history is sadly lacking, I hope to change that.
As someone who is training to be a historical hair and make-up artist this is possibly the best thing I’ve ever seen in my subscription box
Well Zack, all I can really say to you; Be glad you aren't a blacksmith. The dust and sut stuck in the chimney of the forge where I did my apprenticeship, created a full 2cm of dust on every surface when we cleaned it out. It was motre dusty than any amount of hairpowder will accomplish!
Nonetheless, this is very well done indeed, as per usual.

Oh boy, I can’t tell how much I enjoyed this video after waking up midnight and watching it in serenity and joy. Please sir, do keep having more of these.
love it..you should consider keeping it..practice makes perfect...
Keep your hair! You looked amazing at the end!
