Hairstyles
Hairstyles were important and changed over time. Up until the Middle Kingdom time period, women usually wore their hair short. During and after the Middle Kingdom, they began to wear their hair longer. Men generally cut their hair short or even shaved their heads.
Wealthy people, both men and women, often wore wigs. The more elaborate and jeweled the wig, the wealthier the person was.
Pharaohs kept clean shaved faces but wore fake beards for religious purposes.
