. . . "A high roll is a hairstyle that Western women wore in the late 1700s. It was especially associated with France, England, and what later became the United States. The hairstyle was considered a status symbol because it required the wearer to sit for hours while a professional hairdresser set the roll. The hairstyle could be very tall and make the wearer's head seem twice as high. First, the woman's hair would be combed. Then the woman or her hairdresser would add pomatum to the hair so it could be shaped. The pomatum would have treated fat, oil and perfumes or spices in it. This would add a pleasant scent, kill headlice, and help hold the hair in place. Women would add extra hair collected from cows, horses, other people, or their own collected hair from their hairbrushes for extra volume. Women and hairdressers would place pillows or wire frames inside the hair to hold it up. The hair would be placed in curlers and left overnight. Some women would make curls along the sides or neck with curlers. The hair was held in place with pins. The hair could be natural color or colored gray, brown or white with powder. The hairstyle could be as high as 2 feet (0.61 meters). The hairstyle produced some odor and many women complained of itching, which they soothed with ivory head-scratchers specially designed to leave the hairstyle undisturbed. The high roll was redone only every few weeks. Between hairdressing sessions, women would sleep with traps for headlice and mice on their heads. Some women, for example, Queen Marie Antoinette of France, would wear feathers, jewelry, or sculptures of plants and animals in their high hair. Some women said that it would itch."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "A high roll is a hairstyle that Western women wore in the late 1700s.
