Initial thoughts and ideas: Elizabethan hair varied depending on ages, class and status. Upper class women may dye their hair to exaggerate their wealth, and wear adornments such as jewel or small hats. Younger women wore their hair long, as a sign of virginity.

Current understanding of Elizabethan hair: High hair lines and fair or rich colours were in fashion, and were often signs of wealth. Upper Class Elizabethan woman might even dye hair yellow with a mixture of saffron, cumin seed, celandine and oil. Wigs were also commonly used, as seen on Queen Elizabeth.
