A lady at the hairdresser's in the 1700s. Some extravagant hairstyles sported by the ladies at Versailles made history
For a certain period of time at the court of Versailles the ladies sported hairstyles to say the least extravagant, characterized by hair twisted around a sort of "scaffolding" that kept them very high above the head (https://www.pilloledistoria.it/6548/storia-moderna/un-veliero-sulla-testa-di -maria-antonietta).
As can be easily guessed, these bizarre hairstyles, as well as funny, were also uncomfortable, as they made the simplest daily actions difficult, such as getting into a carriage and passing through a door, but there was a remedy for everything.
Give up on being fashionable?
Never!
It was enough to find the trick right and everything worked out.
In this case it was sufficient to insert an ingenious mechanism inside the bun which made it possible to flatten and then immediately raise the skeleton that gave shape to the crown at will; thanks to it, the ladies could do everything without hindrance, happy not to be forced to give up being beautiful just for a matter of practicality.
