Couvre-chef- a new name for the head-rail after the Norman invasion. The couvre-chef style was longer ( sometimes to point of having to be knotted off the ground) and tended to hang down on either side of the face, worn with a circlet to hold it in place.
Hair uncovered- by 1125 women began to appear in public with their hair uncovered, usually worn parted down the middle and plaited in various ways
Extreme Length- this trend was echoed in sleeve length ( considered one of the first fashion trends) The illusion of long hair was aided with fake hair, ribbons, silk tubes with tassels, and attached metal cylinders.
