    Júlia, assisti de novo este vídeo… e hoje menciono a participação especial do panqueca, demonstrando seus cuidados com a higiene e dando pequenos sustos… adorável!❤

    It's interesting how traces of these hair care rituals were still found in the 1950s and 1960s when I was growing up. Hair was not washed daily, but once every week or even less often. Conditioners were not readily available, and our store's selection of shampoos was either high-end Breck (it's worth a look at vintage Breck girl ads) or industrial strength Prell, which our family used. The combination shampoo/conditioner Protein 21 didn't appear on sale until 1970. Women still washed their hair uncomfortably hunched over the bathroom sink, even though men shampooed in the shower. Using shampooing as an excuse for not accepting dates, at least on television shows, was quite common in this era. Everywhere you would hear the commercial jingle 'Is it true blondes have more fun?'

      That's so interesting, thank you for sharing! I'll definitely take a look at Breck ads. I'm intrigued by women still washing their hair over the sink while men would do it in the shower too... Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment ;)

      @@juliamartinshistory If you look at some to the vintage videos regarding hygiene, you will see this to be the case. There is one on TH-cam where it showed a girl washing her hair in the sink, and then a boy washing his hair in the shower. Sorry I don't remember the name of the video! I didn't wash my hair in the shower until I was a teenager.

    Júlia, as always, I love your videos! and this one in particular really pleased me, as I identified with hair care not only because of its aesthetics (I know there may be an attempt to fit it into beauty standards) but because of my concern for hygiene and health. wonderful, thank you!

    Please do videos on make up and wigs. It’s an area of history not covered yet closest to daily living

    Really fun to learn all of this! I would never had figured out or imagined that taking care of their hair could be so empowering and actually mean having (some) agency for women throughout history. Also, hair as a way of building community and belonging. So fantastic. I really enjoy as well this ideia of the health of one's hair being a part of one's overall health. Love your videos!

    Não há tanto tempo, década de 60, usava-se no Brasil cerveja como fixador do penteado dos cabelos.

    Fiquei com muita vontade de ouvir sobre Della Porta, e também sobre os cuidados com a pele nessa época! Muito interessante mas também triste ver o quanto é antiga a luta inglória das mulheres para serem validadas correspondendo a padrões de beleza impossíveis de atingir!

    • @juliamartinshistory

    HAHA PANCAKE! so interesting. I have a special interest in the courtly portraits of women by Hans Holbein in the Tudor period. After what you said and what i believed about hair being an outlet for creativity and individuality for women that the hair styles of these women are so uniform. This seems in contrast to his portraits of men where there is wild variation between bearded and clean-shaven, what i would call a page boy or a bob style and short hair and being seen with some kind of hair-covering, particular red hat versus black hat. Do you think these variables were meaningful in terms of status and political allegiance for men in Tudor England?

    • @juliamartinshistory
      @juliamartinshistory  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Haha yes, Pancake stole the show... 😂 What an interesting observation - I recently went to the Holbein exhibition at the Queen's Gallery and was stunned at his portraits. I agree with you, I think Holbein was very careful about portraying wealth and power through his portraits, especially of men. Thomas More's was particularly impressive. I'm so glad he's getting more attention lately - did you see the news about the restored portrait at the Louvre?!

      The Holbein exhibition at the King's Gallery was fabulous. If you pay for one exhibition you can get your ticket stamped and visit subsequent exhibitions free for one year!

    😃 Hi, Dr. Julia! Woao, this episode is super interesting, I never imagined the importance of hair for women in that period, so thank you very much for this chance of learning about the value of identity, creativity, imagination and power of Renassance women! 😃
    Seems to me that haircare and hair modifying has something "magical", what I mean is that some recipes seem to follow the principle of Alike Attracts Alike, while others point to restore equilibrium of the body.
    😃 Thank you again, Dr. Julia! Oh, and I loved that kitty jump scare! 😹
    😃 And yes, please make that video on wigs and courtly life in France, and also on skincare! 😃

      That's so kind of you, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I agree with you, there's definitely something magical behind many of these formulas and rituals. And yes, treating like with like was a bit part of medicine at the time, and there was a lot of overlap between cosmetics and medicine! Glad to hear that you'd find videos on wigs and skincare interesting, I'll add them to my list! Thank you again - and yes, Pancake is the star of the show! ;)
