RESEARCH & SOURCES
I try my best to keep the information I share in this series as correct and accurate as possible. I base my information mostly off of primary sources, and some secondary interpretations of those sources by people who have (preferably scientific) authority in the field. Richard Corson's Fashions in Hair is one of those wonderful resources that I rely heavily on.
Please keep in mind though that the goal of these videos is mostly to entertain, and only lightly educate. Even though I have a bit of experience in researching obscure topics and navigating barely studied aspects of history through my degree (in Celtic studies), this isn't my field of expertise. Each of these videos could be its own complete life-long research project, but it's not my intention to take things that far. I can't guarantee I won't fall into traps of common misconceptions or plain incorrect information a few times throughout this series.
Even though there's a fair bit of source material available regarding hair styling history, not much has been published regarding it, and heavily peer-reviewed sources are scarce. This is one of those topics where we still have a lot to learn, and there is simply so much we don't yet know or can't say for certain.
In summary: I try my best, but please take what I say here with a grain of salt.

It's my understanding that people wore hair coverings in part to keep their hair clean. If you use linen, in particular, it will absorb excess oils and you can wash the fabric more frequently than Europeans washed their hair in that era.
That too indeed!!
If that was the case men would also cover their heads.
@@fifilamour1344 Men frequently wore caps and hats in that period.
@@fifilamour1344 Men did cover their heads actually. With little linen caps that are basically like the brigitta caps, they would often also wear hoods, fabric hats, or straw hats as well as the cap. I know movies don't usually show this, but medieval people generally wore something on their heads.
Yeah, protection in general for both genders. In summer against the sun, in winter for warmth. And in case of hygiene also to protect the hair from dust and other external types of dirt. (especially when working in the field, kitchen or while cleaning). Also it could help keep the hair out of the face.
here in Italy, up until the last century, all women had to wear a veil when they entered church on Sunday. in my province, all women wore a special long black scarf decorated with flower prints, folded so that it formed a triangle down the back. my grandma told me that, when she was young, she wore two braids looped around her her ears. nice to see that this style has been used throughout history!
My family is Catholic on my mom's side and even in 1950-60s in the United States they were wearing lace veils to mass! You can actually see photos of Jackie O doing so :)
Still do in orthodox Christian churches
Women in the syro Malabar Catholic church still do
It was so similar here in Spain
@@lese91 My mom told me if she forgot her veil her mom would pin a napkin to her head lol
Fun fact: a lot of Christian women (Eastern Orthodox usually) still veil today. I know in the Middle East, wearing some sort of head covering all the time is a lot more common whereas in the US, it’s usually just in church if that. A popular style is a long rectangular scarf over the head, knotted in front of the neck once and then once in the back. There are a lot of others but things really haven’t changed to much!
@Rachel James sorry for asking, but are you married? It is good to continue traditions which are fast diminishing in Europe, sadly.
@@infinite5795 traditionally women were property and objects, there is no value in reverting to social norms that were meant to strip women of their agency and manipulate the value of their humanity. If women start repeating actions of the past, but under their own agency, then it wouldn’t be tradition, such as covering their hair with a veil but not because there is a belief their hair is too sexual for men to see.
The reason is because they live between us and since we are Muslim women wear hejab the Christian women do not feel wired when they are keeping their veils on.
I wear a slightly more modern version of a wimple - basically made in one for convenience - with either a veil or a scarf over it depending on the weather. Partially habit as I have always had to wear a hat or scarf outdoors (not for religious reasons but because any hint of wind and I come down with serious earache and have done since childhood) but also because I was brought up to ALWAYS wear a scarf or hat in church, not RC or Orthodox but I suspect a hangover from when mum grew up in the 40s, and because I've noticed that often a nice hijab worn almost as a wrapped veil is far more appealing to me than wearing a woolly hat down over my ears.
I find making a sort of half Islamic ninja underscarf/half mediaeval style wimple out of simple muslin cheesecloth is both comfortably cool in summer but surprisingly warm in winter, comfortable, looks good under scarves (or fancy hats) and, as a bonus, fills in necklines that are lower than I would wear in public.
Great video.
People still veil, especially if they attend a mass that's celebrated in the traditional manner (as every mass was before 1969).
PLEASE MAKE A FRENCH HOOD WHEN YOU GET TO THE TUDOR ERA!!! They're so sick and I feel like you even resemble the descriptions we have of Anne Boleyn.
Anne had high cheekbones and an oblong face though. The dark eyes and brunette hair do match though
I hope if Lucy does that style that she researches some of the more recent theories regarding the structure of the French hood; it seems more likely to have been similar to the double hood she did in this video (rather than the stiff head band style that Hollywood goes for) - Samantha Bullat is a fantastic resource on the subject
@@thehalfbloodserb wow, I had no idea! thanks for educating me.
Not me wishing we could casually wear medieval hair styles (more like head styles?) outside and inside, without being judged.
You're gonna be judged no matter what you do.
You can't do anything in life without being judged. Don't let that stop you from doing something worthwhile.
The first tutorial looks similar to a modern day muslim hijab
It does!
Cuz it is essentially the same
No it looks like a nuns head garment.
The last one is similar to the Catholic nuns Habit! 🙃
@@noonereally4798 Nuns simply wore the fashion of the day, given they only really started as nuns - so to say - in the 12thC. And they kept both the wimple and the veil, just as the monks kept the robes from the times as well.
Why do I want to wear these now???? The last style really was hella cute…screw the 90s comeback, I need a medieval headdress comeback
One other reason not really mentioned below for covering the head. Men wore caps of various shapes, sizes and styles. Women wore veils which - if you look at late Saxon/early Norman images - may have started out as a simple rectangular shawl or piece of fabric which didn't need sewing or shaping (unlike mens caps/hats) and could be fastened to the hair. But one reason not mentioned is weather. Thee 1300s saw the beginning of the little ice age and even before then there were/are parts of Europe which were very cold in winter (north of Scotland, Scandinavia, northern Germany etc) and it wouldn't have taken much to have worked out that wearing something over your head keeps you warm in winter and the sun off you in summer. Veils don't need shaping in their basic form, they can be made from left over fabric when a garment was cut down or so worn out it couldn't be used any more as a garment. And most importantly of all, it didn''t need to be shaped and sewn like a man's hat did which if you weren't able to afford to pay for someone to sew for you would have been a major advantage. Plus you could have more than one, a work one and one for Sundays and Holy days when you'd wear your good one, and they ould be passed on to servants or those in need as they became worn or out of fashion.
I just need y'all to know my kitten chose this video with her nose
Your kitten has excellent taste 😉
It’s so interesting how similar these are to the styles of hijabs, even though they were two extremely different parts of the world in the Middle Ages!
Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions all have the same roots, you can see it more the further back you go.
There were also major trade routes to the middle east and considerable Muslim populations in Europe at the time. They were called "Moors" in the middle ages.
i was thinking of hijab as well!
yes, because the muslim world now is its medieval phase, i guess.
@@Wakeupgrandowl no they don’t. Only Jewish and Christians do. They believe in Yahweh. Islam does not.
It's really exciting to note that this head covering though European had middle-eastern origins and is basically very similar to Hijab worn by Muslims today. Also, many Christian women, mostly devout Catholic and orthodox women do use the veil.
Honestly, we Hindus/Buddhists throughout history never had this thing in vogue, even many women didn't cover their breasts and it was seen kind of natural, given the hot sultry weather and lax rules, but these head wraps or purdah was introduced around the 12th century, during Islamic invasions into the South-Asian Subcontinent and the Sultanate periods and then, the women started covering their heads or segregating from men. And now, Purdah is an inseparable part linked to Chastity and several parameters in Hindu culture, (although you would find countless naked and covered sculptures on Indian temples, as they served in educating the common man about healthy sex then) there are still many areas in India where women don't cover their heads, mostly the southern and Eastern parts of the country.
In Japanese Buddhism there were also various veils / hoods used by monks and nuns.
Islam didn't enter Europe before the 15th century, so no, the head covering of Christian women has nothing to do with Islam.
@@mumijevi What? Moors lived in Spain for centuries before that.
@@akechijubeimitsuhide In relative isolation in Spain. Not even remotely enough to influence fashion in ALL of Europe. Saying that Islamic head covering influenced or is even the origin for Christian head covering is simply incorrect. Christians get the idea from the Old Testament, so if anything, Muslims got it from the shared Jewish heritage.
Roman and Greek women wore veils too, before Christianity. it's a very common style all around the word, no matter the religion. the virgin Mary is always portrayed wearing a veil
she came veiled, as a proper married lady 😄
Hahaha yep, had to! 😂
The veil styles also reminds me of nuns. Looks way less complicated to do than iv thought!
Various religious orders of nuns would have their habits (clothing they wore everyday) based on the time period they were founded in, so there would be veil styles similar to the middle ages in various nuns' and religious sisters' habits.
@@ioannamalton5743 Ohhh! how interesting!
I love the scarf style tutorials! You have done some retro looks with scarves and more hair exposed as well that I enjoyed. Headscarves are such a great way to maintain healthy hair and protect it for less cleaning.
I love these videos! Thank you for hitting that niche genre that actually so many of us love. Thank you 🥰
I love veiling! Not for religious reasons but I just feel more put together if I wear a scarf, also it's nice to have long hair out of the way. And of course practical reasons! It protects your hair from the sun, from cold dry air, from dirt etc etc. Scarfs are already a trend in the summer but can we bring back more veiling practices...
I am a muslim but only started wearing the hijab recently and I can tell you that I really do notice a difference in my hair. My hair is so much healthier now! It doesn't get dirty easily and the weather doesn't really affect my hair (I live in Holland and the weather really starts to get colder now!).
I just veil when I feel like it. People are sometimes a little weird about it, but they don't say anything.
Are you Muslim? Maybe it's the fitrah 🤔
I am looking forward to the next episode! This one was much fun. You looked lovely with that first veil especially!
I love that you’re representing some more ancient styles! Especially all in one place. Thanks for this lovely video 😊
Fabulous!! I often wondered how they got these looks. Thanks for the lesson and tutorial 😊
Hair history videos of yours are my FAVE! 💝Please do more Italian Renaissance hair! 😭
Your new & improved "Hair History" series is amazing! I wonder how the treatment of women with alopecia was back then. They never grew hair, so... was it covered up in hope no-one finds out or were they shunned forever bc it was seen as some sort of punishment? Or letting fake braids peek out somewhere to mimic hair?
Probably depended heavily on class.
I suspect many nobles would disguise conditions like this and have the means to. But the poor would probably be shunned and treated as though they must have done something sinful to be cursed that way.
I love how this is an actual new ways on how to do your hijab! Honestly, if I lived in the Middle Ages I would've been relieved if I had to wear a veil outside. The styles are so elegant and beautiful ❤
I'm not sure that should be romanticized. Women being forced to cover up or face shame and outcasting isn't a good thing, then or now.
@@JenIsHungry It's women's choice. Always has been from the Islamic perspective. Honestly, women can't win. Dress modestly you oppressed. Dress provocatively and you're inviting people to objectify you. How about leave the women alone?
@@samhart4205 I’m not sure you can say something has always been a woman’s choice when they face harsh Consequences for not adhering to the practice. That’s disingenuous. And I’m talking about all of the religions that require or required this of women, not just Islamic faith.
Funny how it’s always women though, who end up with these harsh expectations and laws governing their bodies and dress.
I’m glad I live in a time and place where there
actually is a choice.
@@samhart4205 Well where I live, a few years ago, three brothers killed their sister (Hatun Sürücü) because she refused to wear a hijab. So there's that. I get your point but saying "It's always the women's choice." is so ignorant towards all of the women who were killed to "save the family honor". You're wiping them from history. Hatun would have loved to have a choice.
No, there's plenty of women who don't have a choice. Don't erase them just because you want to defend those who want to wear their hijab. It is indeed in a way a sign of repression.
@@90sHONEY And on the flip side is a sign of resistance from women that are constantly told that their worth is linked directly to them confirming to present societal norms of beauty, and means of dress? Where women are constantly told a certain hair type, body weight, certain physical attributes makes them desirable? Hijab doesn't just mean a cloth on your head dude. It means a modest dress that shields your body parts and the judgement of those who seek to objectify you. Heck, it's so common now for the accepted narrative to be, what the media declares ok. The media will not cannibalize itself by attacking prominent media outlets that cater to the billion dollar beauty market. Where's the balanced discussion there?
I'm sure the reverts, ex porn stars and models who have become Muslims won't hesitate to tell you how liberated they feel from constantly trying to appease a society that constantly objectify them. But hey, just because two ignorant people committed one of the WORST sins in Islam (murder) let's be done away with an educated debate. Let's paint a brush on the ideology of Islam because of people who don't represent Islam in the first place 🙄
I love this series, very fun and informative.
Sweet! I've missed your hair videos and history videos!
Yes from what I have found the Middle Ages was much more focused on documenting men's fashion if their was any documentation.
One document I found on a wedding explained in great detail the grooms clothing and the only mention of the woman was she wore a dress. How things have changed, lol.
They didnt have to worry about bad hair days. Just completely cover it up!
They would've had bad veil days instead
Much like me today in winter time, just stick a hat on im good to go 😅
I love these videos so much💗 u do a very good job explaining everything
A lot of work has been done on this period over the last 20 years. You might enjoy Max Adams‘ books, in particular Unquiet Women.
my little 18th century obsessed self is waiting patiently for a few hundred years of hair to evolve hehe
I'm dreading that one 😂 My hair doesn't like the 18th century
@@Loepsie oh noo! at least they’re all about fake hair back then lol
Saw you struggling and I wasn’t sure what you’d manage , but this is great! And I wanna try that last double folded wimple now 🥰
I love your hair history videos!!
Actually, the Bible does not dictate that married women should cover their hair, but ALL Christian women, specifically when praying/ prophecying (1 Corinthians 11) - which is why in for example in churches that retained the practice most women only veil inside church. Furthermore, the passage references *head*coverings, which is different to *hair* coverings and that's why it is often permissable for some hair to still show, as long as the top of your head is covered
I just went to my first medieval event a couple of weeks ago and found it difficult researching, so this has been useful for the next!
Such a wonderful video! I love how all of these look! I kind of wish you could still wear these today without it having a religious conotation but just as a fashion item. I think we could have a lot of fun with them.
Thanks for posting this!
I'm not sure if you've already done this but a video about men's hair in the Middle Ages is something I would like to see ga zo door
I have no idea how I ended up here but I am glad I did. This was a delight to watch.
Your videos are always interesting. ✨
Yesssss I adore this series!
I'm looking forward to the next one!
Super fun and informative, just want to add that from what we see in art, a wimple was often worn slightly over the chin.
Very fun video! please keep going id love to learn more :)
It reminds me of the nun's habits.
I enjoy the information you provide of the history.
Yes, nun's habits originated from these styles! 😊
Im sitting here shook, loved this vid !!!!!!!!!
oh my god it feels like 2015/2016 all over again when you did the hair history videos
Thank you so much! Can you provide dimensions of the fabric pieces you used? I would like to share this with some people in my theater group for an upcoming show. Thanks!
I've been hoping for a long time, for the return of the wimple to contemporary fashion. I knew I had "old lady neck" sometime in my future, and am not at the income bracket to go for cosmetic surgery. So I am finally seeing it, and it's just as demoralizing as I had feared. Perhaps that "sports hijab" some of our athletic Muslim sisters have been showing off will become popular. There is also that neck "gaiter" mask, if we keep having to wear masks into the future, but that has to cover the mouth and nose to keep the neck covered. I can only conclude that the climate must have been a great deal cooler in the Middle Ages in Europe, to make so many layers and habitual head covering tolerable.
Not really, they used breathable materials that kept them cool like linens and cottons. Now we use synthetic everything. Additionally we’re so acclimated to using things like AC and driving everywhere that I think we’re just generally a lot more spoiled, you know ?
Awesome , thanks !!!
You look like from the United Emirate with the style you wear through the video! I was shocked!!!!
But when you show the different styles with the vails, they are surprisingly pretty! Perhaps I´ll try one once!
Before modern heating, it was also practical to cover a woman or man's head with a hat or covering. It protected the head and neck from heat loss. I think it is still a beautiful tradition to wear a head covering. They were often very flattering and creative too. I do love a veil and wimple as she is wearing here.
I love this!
I found somethiiiinnnggg 😁
I found some pictures on internet with a woman named Genevieve Ginette Lantelme and she looks similar to you. She is very beautiful, you can recreate some of her looks or pictures.🥰 I love your recreations of historical looks. (Sorry If my english is broken, it's not my first language 🙈)
Braids have always been common and practical I feel! I believe the 15th c in the West had the most complex ones for Western hair? The coiled around braid I feel I've seen mostly in this era?
A coiled around braid (I think you mean The Princess Leia nicknamed buns ~somewhere around the head) is actually really easy to do, even with (archeologically proven) u-shaped pins, and they are stuck mostly parallel to the head.
I find Loepsis ancient greek hair repoduction here th-cam.com/video/5Kr3hGepiD4/w-d-xo.html shows a much more elaborate braid style- and you have to stick the pins vertically (poke risks..) or sew everythink in place.
I know the vikings has a technique where they braided woollen yarn with a lucet, a sort of two pronged fork, to create a stretchy cord. Wouldnt short lengths of that tied together make very good hairband equivalents? Though of course braided woollen thread has not survived well but we know it exisited applying it to hairstyles would make sense.
Can you do a Princess Xenia hair tutorial please 👉👈
Oh I love these ❤️
This video gives a lot of information about the hairstyle in that era. It's very interesting indeed.
4:40 Besides linen, what kinds of fabric did they have access to? Have they known and used cotton and silk, for example?
By the way, I think Morgan Donner has a video about historical hair pins, but I'm not sure if it's from Medieval era or later.
Hi! viking age reenactor here! they would have had silk if wealthy, and often also would use a fine lightweight wool. cotton however was not used in europe until the 'dicovery' of the americas so that wouln't have been a thing, hope this helps! if you want to know more lmk
@@theawarburton6267 Cotton is native to Africa, the Middle and Far East, China and, as you mentioned, the Americas. While both cotton and linen have a multi-step preparations. Picking out the seeds is labor intensive (which is why cotton became cheaper to use after the Cotton Gin was invented) but it also is a shorter staple than flax, making it harder to spin. Linen and wool being easier to spin is probably why they became the default material to use.
I wear veils every so often (as did prechristian, pagan northern Europeans) when I am cold. I usually do the first style though it doesn't hold so well
Is there any info available about variation between different countries?
This was so interesting. I was just imagining what these women’s lives were like as they did all the pinning and folding. I wonder what the climate was like? Surely it wasn’t really hot but I don’t know. I think that it’s possible that issues about modesty might supersede practicality. 🤷🏻♀️Thank you for all the work you did to make this video happen.
Lol yes it can be really hot in summer but you know, when you believe that you should wear because it is a dogma, you will think of a more practical ways rather than unwear it. Like we use cotton to make our hejab in summer and we put a cotton piece of cloths under it to Absorb all the sweat and keep the hejab away from hair and also many other ways to wear hejab more comfortably. so I think women in middle ages invented similar ways
Well, keeping your skin covered prevents sunburns, bug bites, and gives you something to wipe the sweat on. And they were in or just coming out of the little ice age. Summer was probably much cooler then we experience now.
Unfortunately, you don't show the shapes of the veils and how to do the one you wear through most. Please do a more detailed video. 🙏
This was very interesting. :}
My Granny said women used their own hair from their combs or brushes to tie their braids.
These are also modern day accurate
7:30 my friends hijab style
8:10 saudi men tablecloth hijab style
And the others nun veil styles 👌
Subscribed!!
Gorgeous! ☦️ You did a fantastic job!
Question: What about widows? Do they have to wear veils because they were married at one point, or are they allowed to go veil-less since they aren't married currently?
Videos like this are always helpful with my world building; so many fantasy writers don't even bother to look at fashion from relevant eras, and it's such a wasted oppurtunity...
Castles were cold, and personal hygiene was not the best at that time. Veils helped to keep the body warm and the hair clean.
in this video you remind me of isabella rossellini from the 1998 tv mini series merlin...
2:58 damn my girl salome getting TWISTED
I agree, the first one is very similar to the hijab. Not sure if it was the second one, but one is very reminiscent of what women wore in Jesus’s time; early Jewish era. The whipple style makes me think of Romeo and Juliet! ☺️
I love hairstyles for the middle ages ❤️❤️
Interesting how the first style of veil looks just like a hijab you could easily see on the street today. I guess women have been basically covering their hair the same way for the past thousand-ish years.
I love this look, tl me it is so elegant, if it wasn't so restricted to religion in this era I would probably try it.
My great grandmother worn a triangle scarf called in Poland "tybetka" :) Elder woman still does that and it came from the slavic culture, not christian religion! :)
7:20 is your standard Muslim Hijab 👌🏽
It’s really only the so-called ‘Dark Ages’ ie about 600-1100, that have sparse records (600 to 900 being tha sparcest). This is only true in Europe ie the old Western Roman Empire. There is ample documentation of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Loepsie, you look absolutely beautiful, graceful and stunning with this wimple on.
The first one looks like a Hijab, it looks pretty on you
I thought you were wearing a hijab at first, then I looked closer. It saddens me why hijab is considered weird when this sort of veiling is a part of European history as well. How quickly people forget and judge.
Well, a lot of time and effort is put into making people belive that their ancestors were idiots. So every piece of clothing from their era that we modern, smarter, people don't recognize must have been because they were too stupid to realize life without is better.
Clothing choices have nothing to do with actual faith and obedience, as well as some of the practical benefits of keeping covered! 'Sarcasm off'
Yeah, I don't get it either. And there are some leaders who unfortunately use it to abuse their people, and that sours associations too.
@@woodenkat8971 oh my gosh yes! I'm a bit biased because I got my degree in ancient history, but it annoys me so much how everyone thinks that people born before like 1900 or so were really stupid, or very different somehow...people haven't changed much in millennia 😅
The last one, reminds me of pharaohs ahaha
You look so pretty in this middle ages semi hejab
So beautiful cut, wearing scarf like Muslim girl from India
It is more like a headstyle not hairstyle.
Now all you need is a bell and you can go around the streets yelling shame! ^_^
soo....all those people hating on muslima hijabs...guess should look at Europe's own history.
What do religions have against women's hair?
It's a modesty thing. Hair is seen as too intimate to be shown to others outside your family.
Also from a social context, being able to take care and style your own hair (and that includes veils) is seen as a visualization that you can take care of yourself and that you are a free, modest and well mannered person. It shows that you do know how to present yourself to the world. Also veils really don’t need to be seen as restrictive since it keeps the hair cleaner, out of your way, prevents tangles and it can be used for elaborate draping and the veil itself can be a product of fine craftsmanship. When I work on the field as an archaeologist I like to wear some kind of scarf on my head under my helmet because it has so many advantages
Some religions also hide men’s hair. 🤷 I guess that healthy, long hair is just too attractive to go unregulated.
It's also more hygienic) so the hair gets dirty more slowly, and in the Middle Ages people did not have the opportunity to wash their hair as often as now
@@JeannedeGrammont yes, I believe most people kept their hair very long so this makes a lot of sense. There were no daily showers, lol.
Yeeeeeeah middle agezzzz
I know I’m jumping ahead but I’m hyped for the Renaissance. I just watch an anime called Arte which is set in early 16th century Florence and it’s so well done! I’m not an expert on the Renaissance but I do like it a lot and I felt like it did a great job of representing the time and place, it’s also super pretty to look at.
Alternate title: Hijab tutorial 🩷
@ every muslim girl watching this getting hijab style ideas 😂 edit: even the idea of an undercap we still use
then welcome to the Middle Ages lol
Looks like hijab . ✨🌺
Salaam. I am a Muslim and all major religions require women to wear a veil. Muslims women follow it today the most. I respect and appreciate those people who acknowledge this. Islam does not enforce it only but other religions too but the Rabbis and Pastors/ bishops have become extremely lenient and don't enforce their scriptures laws anymore as they only care for the big bucks coming their way and making them rich. I hope just hope people go back reading their scriptures again with a cup of tea in their hands and read what the creator wants for them.
Why did it take me so long to realize you were wearing a veil because you're married????😅🤦♀️
Edit: it's really cool to see the different ways they would have put on veils back then.
Because of all this romanticism of the middle ages that is so stuck in ppls heads it is very important to make clear that this (sorry to say that) extremely unflattering look reminding of hijabs and nuns was more reality and than those romantic fantasy hairdos that are mostly associated with medieval times. I am so looking forward to the next informative hair-history-lesson !! ;-)
When I think of romanticizing the middle ages, these are the hairstyles that I think of. I find them very flattering.
you girl looked palestinian in 8:15🥰
For a second, I thought you were wearing Hijab
so they wore hijab too :D
You were... confusing the "middle ages" and "dark ages". The middle ages overall do absolutely not count as a time of population decline or constant warfare, and the classical era was also not "more prosperous", what basis would you even have to assess that? The medieval period saw many great improvements in science and technology, and in the 12th and 13th century, the population grew massively.
So it's a hijab.
The first style is very common for Muslim women. Quick easy and practical
You're beautiful, however you veil yourself!
