*Women Hairstyles* during the Medieval period. Varieties of hairstyles around the 14th century. Mainly between a chaperon (form of hood), a coiffure (an elaborate style), or a golden net caul (around hair).

"In the last decade of the 13th century there was a fashion of arranging hair in plaited coils over the ears, and continued to be worn during the reign of Edward II" (DeCourtais 20). The wimple continued to be an important article of headwear, especial for married women, widows, and women in religious orders. || Source: Georgine De Courtais.
