The Greeks loved beauty, so it should be no surprise that they loved shiny healthy hair. They used hairbrushes. They brushed their hair every day, over and over, to keep it as shiny as possible!Once they were done brushing their hair, first they would check it carefully in a mirror to make sure every strand was bright and healthy.Then, they would scent and arrange their hair. Women used scented waves and lotions to arrange their hair in highly designed and interesting styles. They also braided their hair and wrapped it up on top on of their heads. They even wore their hair sometimes in ponytails. They used headbands. They used hair ornaments to keep their hair in place.

What are scented waves? Are they like lotion? I think that the Greeks were very vain because they were rich and powerful. This is one of the reasons to the Greeks downfall. I think it was funny how Medusa turned herself to stone by looking into the shield. I think that the Greeks might have been one of the major consumers in the trade of purple dyes.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very interesting. It makes me want to ask the question, (were they the ones who made shampoo?) The Greeks make a lot of lotion and hair care from what it looks like. The Greeks were also famous for trade, and I think that this was one of the things that they traded. Great job!
