<p>68.251.52.100: </p> <hr /> <div>Human '''hair''' can be cut and arranged in a variety of [[style]]s, and in [[modern]] times is done so almost exclusively for aesthetic the [[Renaissance]]. Most wigs are made from human hair, not [[animal]] hair as is popularly believed.<br /> <br /> ==Animal Hair==<br /> [[Animal]] hair, was however, commonly used in many things. [[horse|Horsehair]] was often collected and turned into [[fabric]], [[string]], or used as decoration, particularly on [[helmet]]s, as was [camel]] hair in warmer climes.<br /> <br /> ==Fur==<br /> Animal hair which grows short and dense is called [[fur]],and a whole [[skin]] with the fur still on his called a [[pelt]]. A skin with little hair was usually called a [[hide]]. In [[heraldry]], various background patterns are linked to animal furs, e.g. [[ermine]]. These are regarded as [[tincture]]s.<br /> <br /> ==Hairstyles in the SCA==<br /> In the [[SCA]], hairstyles are generally modern, since the [[re-enactor]]s have to go back to their [[mundane]] lives after an event. If you see a person in an [[authentic]] medieval hairstyle (especially something extreme like the semi-skinhead Norman forelock or a [[braid]]ed [[viking]] beard), be impressed.<br /> [[category:health]]</div>
