There is a post on moustaches and beards ( https://en.numista.com/forum/topic140024.html ), yet I couldn't find one on hair styles.

They can be very modern: N#12870 



Or not so modern: N#12323

 

Or very elegant (pictures taken with early evening light): N#12179


 

As a guy used to cut my hair myself using a trimmer, I'm still curious to see where this thread will take us! (I sure hope it will get weird)


(Just an observation: somehow, without even trying,  I managed to pick three coins all with a Numista number in the range 12xxx, yet I might be the only one on this forum who cares about that)

Besides coins I love geometry. The avatar consists of each of the 35 hexominoes used precisely once. With the 5 large yellow shapes placed like this, the solution for tiling the remaining 30 hexominoes is unique.

This is a older one; very ancient dreadlocks 

 

Another one, very luscious imo ; don’t know if he ever had a bad hair day

 

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was rocking Fran Drescher style mall hair of 1983 Brooklyn, long before 1983.

 

That hair is massively pushed up!

I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Yes Ashlobo, I have always found Sai Baba's afros very amusing, amazed he still had a huge round afro well into his 70s. Probably like the singer Prince, he wore an afro wig, near the end.

 

Speaking of wigs, the permed wiggs of the 1660 - 1740 period, always get guffaws out of me, these ultra masculine warrior kings had these extremely effeminate wigs that even Brian May would say “Damn thats permed hair”. These hairstyles presaged the shaggy long hippy hair of the 1966 - 1976 period.

 

   

Christian V of Denmark 1693,                     Brian May and his 1600s style hippy hair

 

 

William III of England (1689 - 1702) loved his massive periwigs and sometimes its hard to tell him apart from his wife!

 

  

Charles II (1660s) bought the wiggs to the UK and George II (1720s) was still rocking them.

Hi !

 

Great topic (with great coins!)

 

May I invite you to watch each of the coins from this series designed by Christian Lacroix ? → https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/series.php?id=2921

 

It gives a good idea of the excessive french taste for fashion…and hairstyles of our leaders. (despite no orange allowed)

Dans l'immense majorité des cas votre pièce n'est pas fautée : elle est différente...pour ne pas dire moche.

when it comes to banknotes and hair, in Canada at least, none can be so infamous as the devil in the queens hair
