Fancy hairstyle

A constant of the human race, no matter the time and place, is wanting to have fancy haircuts.

In today’s WIP we’ll show you one of the many hairstyles that people during the Pre-Columbian time wore: this specific style is the neaxtlaualli, which consists of braids pointing at the front of the face. This style was used by married women.

In Aztec culture, people wore different hairstyles based on their profession and social class. For example, warriors fixed their hair in elaborated styles and with ornaments, and priests wore their hair long.
Likewise, different hairstyles, much like clothing, could tell from which part of the empire or from which tribe you were.
