A Young Flavian Woman is an example of Roman portrait sculpture. Her strong features contrast with her more subtle or womanly features. She has a strong chin and nose with a long neck. Those clash with her soft looking skin and lips with her dramatic/detailed hair. The technique the sculptors used to create the look of the curls was a combination of chiseling and drill work. This was done to get the holes in the center of th
e curls. Even though this type of hair style was the latest court fashion, we can still see it today. You can see in the pictures below that we, like the Romans, like to pile hair to alarming heights. There is one major thing that differs between the two. That is the fact that hair styling has been crafted into an art form. People around the world come together to show new extremes to the hair industry. Women have always had amazing hair.
