Victorian Rapunzels

What is it? A trend during the Victorian era (1865-1900) where women didn’t cut their hair.  A woman’s hair was considered to be a mark of status as well as important to maintaining her femininity. Hair care for hair of such length would have been expensive and impractical for the poor and working class women to maintain. After coming into age, women would tie their hair up and reserve wearing it down in the privacy of their bedrooms. Loose hairstyles that laid on the shoulders would be worn exclusively by children and young girls. Ultimately, a woman’s hair became part of her sex appeal like the showing of ankles or elbows in public. The Sutherland Sisters, however, used their rapunzel-like hair to gain notoriety and fortune. (Sutherland sisters below)

In the1880s the the seven sisters sang in a musical act that performed at churches, fairs, and community concerts. The sisters were talented musicians, but their main attraction was their impossibly long and healthy hair that they wore down during performances. The sisters contributed their rapunzel hair to an ointment that their mother would make them wear as young girls. The women and their manager eventual patent a hair tonic that they claimed was the same ointment that their late mother made. Later it was discovered that the concoction was debunked as snake oil. Regardless, by 1890 the Sutherland sisters made 3 million US dollars in sales raising them from daughters of a farmer to upperclass ladies. The sisters then used their new money to build a mansion on their family’s farmland in New York and support their eccentric lifestyles.
