  I think that it was the Greeks, or was it the Romans, who had those little "ringlets" in their hair, according to Doreen Yarwood who authored European costume: 4000 years of fashion. Did they have CURLING irons in those days?: : No idea at all but they're interesting questions. Why not start a new historical topic as there's bound to be someone out there who'd know? I'd be interested to find out if really long hair for men in Western Europe ever became a fashion, say after the 14th Century.

  As during the 17th Century, perhaps? Plenty of long hair and moustache (and maybe goatee) then! Incidently, that was also mentioned in European costume: 4000 years of fashion.

  Yep....I've always wondered just how long 17th Century long haired loving guys like us grew their hair under all those extravagant wigs similar to Charles the First. I mean you could have waist/ knee/ floor length and no-one would be the wiser !!!!! WOW !! ;-)

  Imagine if we could get men's wigs back into fashion again and going into work....!! No more need to ring ACLU about harrassment. Then in the evening kick off the shoes, off with the wig and wey hey folks - it's happy time !! Next, straight over to the Hyperboard with all the latest gossip of how you saw this guy in the IT section with the most amaaaazing long blonde hair or was it a wig ? It's getting just so hard to tell these days as they're so realistic !

  Eat your hearts out ladies LOL ;-)
