I estimate the length of back hair necessary to recreate this braided bun to be approximately 50-75 cm depending on head circumference). The ends of the braids are tucked into the centre of the bun. The back hair is divided into many small braids that are then coiled into a wide bun (See Figure 3). From this division, the voluminous hair nearer the face is directed forward, the rest is directed backward. The hair is divided by an ear to ear parting over the top of the head (See Figure 2). 39), oil based pomade ( unguentum) (See Lucas 1964, 87, 89, 327-337), a bone needle ( acus) and wool thread ( filum) (See Figure 4). 163), hair bodkins ( discerniculum, discriminalia) (See Biagiotti1990, 105-7), wooden comb ( pecten) (Biagiotti1990, 113), a calamistrum shaped curling iron (modern electric, to reduce fire hazard) (See also Biagiotti 1990, 87 no. To recreate the Fonseca hairstyle, the following equipment was used: a manikin head with wavy human hair, leaf spring shears ( forfex) (See Biagiotti 1990,163 no. The practice of hair sewing in Roman antiquity is supported by linguistic and artifact evidence and I have confirmed it empirically. bodkin) or anachronistic U-shaped hairpins, and without the necessity of wigs or hairpieces. The choice of tools and techniques used for this recreation is explained in detail in my article, Ancient Roman Hairdressing: on (hair)pins and needles (Stephens 2008)(See Stephens, Journal of Roman Archaeology 21(2008) 110-132, for video tutorials, see my YouTube channel). I demonstrated how some of the most complex Roman hairstyles can be constructed on real hair by sewing with needle and thread rather than bodkins (single prong hairpins) (see Stevens-Cox 1984,s.v. This article corrects that misconception by showing how the Fonseca hairstyle may be recreated with real hair using period appropriate tools and techniques.
