Neat, neat, neat: Vestal Virgin hairstyle recreated by archaeologists

This is pretty cool. Archaeologists have recreated the oldest known Roman hairstyle, a very complicated arrangement worn solely by Vestal Virgins. The whole process is described in a video along with this article. Check it out:

Very cool! Thanks for sharing this. I read in an article that Vestals shaved their heads and in a fiction book I read that Vestals "wore their hair in an ancient Greek style". Now I know how they wore their hair! :)
