Renaissance hair!

We've all had a bad hair day (a day when our hair just doesn't look good) or bed head (when our head is messy because we just woke up from bed) or even hat hair (when our hair is messy because we had a hat on).

There are many ways to describe hair.  In this post, we will look at some types of hair and see the variety of hair styles in Renaissance portraits.   We will also learn/review some simple vocabulary.

Let's start with no hair.  A person with no hair is bald.  Here is an example:

Hair can be straight:

or curly:

It can be long or short:

If you have long hair, you can wear it up, or wear it down:

 or wear it in braids:

Now, it's your turn!
