Description:

Woman wearing a braided hairstyle in fashion around 1330.

At the time, women wore very low-cut dresses, which emphasized this sort of hairstyle, leaving the neck and shoulders free. Those who weren’t fortunate enough to enjoy natural thick hair did as ladies do today: they bought some.
