Summary

Description
English: Fig 3. this is of interest as it shows the manner of dressing the back hair. Many of the women plait in false hair, which is collected by the prospective husband on betrothal. He not only contributes his own hair, but also purchases more to make up the required quantity, since the marriage may not be consummated until the hair is dressed in the approved manner, viz., low down on the neck as shown, or in two long braids. (p.163)
