Death Becomes Hair

Death Becomes Hair

In the very first episode of Conjuring Curiosities, Clara tells Sabrina that in the Victorian era, death was not only a part of life but a spectacle intertwined with intricate rituals and symbolic gestures. We cover the customs, clothing, and keepsakes that accompanied grief, from elaborate mourning attire to the macabre beauty of hair jewellery.
