Tudor Hair


Close up of portrait of Tudor Noblewoman by William Segar, 1590















In the Tudor times the hair was made to look lighter by using saffron, cumin seed, celandine, and oil, to get it more yellow. But they also had wigs to if you didn't want to spend time dying hair, but the upper class lady, you brought them, which Queen Elizabeth was said to have many. If they didn't wear hair pieces or wigs, they wore it long with head dresses over the top.
