20. The Celts sported ostentatious hairstyles
It wasn’t just on the battlefield that the Celts dressed (or undressed) to impress. They were known for their extravagant fashion sense in everyday life too. Classical writers described the Celts as very pale-skinned and generally light or red-haired. If their hair was dark, they would lighten it with lime. Celtic men were particular dandies. Like women, some would grow their hair long or arrange it in elaborate styles. Beards or clean-shaven chins were both equally fashionable. But one thing every Celtic man would sport was a long, elaborate moustache.
