Thanks Melanie for the suggestions. I did part the hair and brush to the sides,
but that didn't help my hair much. I did not roll the hair, as I was trying for
the earlier smooth hair style. The idea of sewing the tape to the rest of the
hair may work, so I will try that and see what happens,

May I ask what hair style you wear under your hood? I tried the styles
mentioned in the Tudor Tailor, and my hair is so thick it wants to
fall off my head, and pins are of almost no help. I have mid-back
length hair, if that is long enough

One thing that may help is to have your hair in a not perfectly clean
state. Oiler hair holds together better.
Arlys,

My hair does not stay with pins, as it's too slippery (or maybe it's
the shape of my head!). I have to sew the braids to the hair
underneath (not just to each other) with ribbon to make it stay.
This is what I was going to say. I use a large needle, make sure I
catch the hair

From a purely practical point of view, the piece around the back of the
neck, forming a circle around the head, made the hood fit extremely well. I
wore mine outside, in wind, without any fasteners, bobby pins, etc. It just
sat on my head and I had no problems

Hi Elizabeth,
Yes, I've tried the hair taping (as seen in the second link you gave), and it
will only stay on my head if I then wrap the hair in a kertch. It won't stay up
on its own, and it wouldn't stay stable for a base for the French hood. Also,
it falls apart in the kertch that I
Sorry getting in the middle of the topic. Have you tried braiding your hair
when wet or with a little gel or mousse? Usually it isn't thick hair that is
the problem but how smooth/slick the strands are.

Hi De,
I don't mind you jumping in a bit. I have braided my hair when wet, as it is
easier to control usually. But I haven't thought of adding gel or mousse to the
hair. I will have to try that next time, and see if that helps. It should also
help the front hairs stay in place, as it gets

No need to apologize. I think they are successful in the ways that you

Hi Sharon,
I agree. For costuming purposes, mine sat just fine on my head without any
fasteners, until a really strong gust lifted it up. But it went back on with
minimal adjusting. I loved how it works, but I will be adding in a chin strap
soon since I won't have the new one made before

I respectfully disagree with the French hood patterns in The Tudor
Tailor. Neither the fronts nor the falls/veils match the portrait and
effigy record.

I received my copy this morning, and have spent most of the day reading
it. I'm more impressed than I thought I would be. First, the quality of
the book, the binding, the paper, and the photography, is very good. The
first three chapters have a lot of pictures, some I've seen a lot of
other
books and perhaps,
Jean Hunnisett's as well.
