‘Dragging Seventy Little Plaits of Her Across the Land of the Altai’: Hair Care, Hairstyles and Hair Ornaments of the Southern Altaians from a Historical and Cultural Perspectives

Original language description

This study deals with hair care, hair ornaments, hair styles, and hair-related rituals of the Southern Altaians (Altai Kizhi, Telengits) and their development overtime. Hair care has played an important role in Altaian society for centuries. It has been a ritual symbol, an indicator of gender, age, marital or social status. In context, hair has played a significant cultural and social role across societies and historical periods around the world. For this reason, hair care has also been sometimes included among the so-called cultural or human universals, i.e. phenomena that are common to all known human cultures in time and space. The source of information for this study was the authors’ own field research, relevant literature and visual sources documenting the broader context of hair care. The issue is viewed from historical and cultural perspectives, with the main focus on the current hair care of the Altaian people in connection with changes compared to the past. The study focuses on selected phenomena that proved to bethe most important in the field research in terms of their existence and the role they currently play in Altaian society. It does not therefore aim to cover the full breadth of the topic, but leaves room for further research on sub-topics.
