Deadhead women had lovely long hair and they enjoyed braiding and weaving their tresses and looking good at shows. This pair shows the process of beautifying girl Deadheads who also wore face paint and artistic make-up. In 1991 the gender explorations we see in the 2000s were just beginning and Deadhead boys and girls danced within more or less traditional gender roles and appearance. These folk are probably in their 50s or even 60s now and I hope their memories of a more innocent time remain.
