VERY Old Hairstyle ideas?

[MrMarketingDirector]

Hello,

I have about 5" long hair in the front and top and about 2 or 3" sides and back.

I am looking for a good 18th century hairstyle (NOT A WIG), any ideas?

Thanks!

Unless you're lady gaga or a revolutionary war reenactor I don't think 18th century hairstyle will look good on anyone in 2010.

I don't care what looks acceptable (I wear a jabot to college), I want to know what is feasible.

you know, if you leave a forum up long enough, it's only a matter of time before someone starts a thread asking how he can acheive a hairstyle with his 5 inch fringe that will remind us all of an industrialising England. When you think about it, it was surely inevitable.

In all seriousness, why do you want that? (snark free post here)

This, coming from the guy who showed us a Youtube video from a Videogame asking what we thought of a character wearing a vest over a button-up over a turtle-neck sweater. All I can say is... keep up the good work

I don't know why I should have to explain myself, but if you are going to be talking about my OTHER post, I daresay I have no choice. I am a rider. Riders wear things that people like you might not think so trendy. We don't care. We have done it for a thousand years, and we don't plan on stopping any time soon. I am also getting a history degree and enjoy volunteering at historical reenactments.
Again, I have no idea why I should be forced to explain myself.

Those of you that posted mature and useful things, such as NewYorkRanger, I thank you. The rest of you, however...

I came here for mature and objectively valuable commentary on clothing and style. I didn't come here to be mocked for what pompous witlings like you think is "nerdy", or not worthy of debate. I didn't come here to be flamed for what some arrogant buffoon barely older than me thinks is a "fringe", without having any idea how I wear my hair. And most definitely, I didn't come to hear to explain myself and the way I like to dress to a bunch of preening abecedarians who chafe at the first sign of someone doing something different.

I started coming to StyleForum months ago. I loved the content and the dialog. I thought it was mature.

I was wrong. Don't be expecting any positive publicity from me.

Come on Matt, how many times have you been obsessed with something only to see it fizzle out? That's how I was with Terry Mahinski in the 5th grade. As for the hair style, how about a bunch of Score (like vaseline, before you ask), parted in the middle, and slicked back. Should remind everyone of a 19th Century robber baron, or, even SECDEF McNamara. Which further reminds us of more guidance from that period - DON'T GET INTO A LAND WAR IN ASIA. Ok ok. Back to the Tempranillo.
