Depending on whether you were a noble women or a peasant what you wore. The peasant women wore the wimple as well as nuns and married women. Noble women wore many types of headdresses a few of them are the "butterfly" headdress, the heart-shapped headdress, steeple caps, turbans and also the hennin. The hennin was a headdress that was high and pointed with a fine gauze vail. When women wore veils they would leave their hair down or braided. Some women, especially married women, wore tight caps and nets over their hair which was wound into a "bun" on top of the head.
Almost everyone washed their hair occasionally. One freely-available treatment was the plant soapwort (Saponaria officinalis) which is common throughout Europe (I have seen it growing alongside the roads in Germany and I grow it in my own herb garden). When boiled in water it releases saponin, a constituent of soap, that can be used diluted to wash hair or clothes - it is still used today in costume museums for cleaning very old textiles. It has a neutral "plant" smell, but with a fragrant herb such as chamomile or lavender added the result would be much like today's shampoos.
Some older women dyed their hair when it turned grey (this was mentioned by Gerald of Wales in his many books from the late 12th century.

How did the ancient roman women do their hair?
The hair of women is sometimes concealed under a cap. The wind and sand made women in ancient times to wear a hood most of the time when they were outside. Where no cap or hood is worn, the hair clings closely to the head in a wavy compact mass, escaping however from below the wreath or diadem, which supplies the place of a cap, in one or two rows of crisp, rounded curls.

What did medieval nobles wear?
1st AnswerEveryone no matter rank wore woolen tunics and under garments of linen, but the nobles clothing was of better materials, brighter colors, and may have decorations on it. Fur was often used to line the garments and jewelry was lavish. Much of it was imported. Towards the end of the middle ages men of wealthy classes sported hose and a jacket often with pleating or skirting or tunic with a surcoat. Women wore long gowns and elaborate head wear ranging from headdresses shaped like hearts or butterflies to tall steeple caps and Italian turbans. 2nd AnswerHose were considered the height of fashion as early as 1200's, not just the end of the period in question. Nobility tried to emulate the King and Queen - the Royal couple were the trend setters. Like the King and Queen, nobility would not have worn what the peasant class did, or rather the peasant class would not have been allowed to wear what the upper classes wore. That would have been unacceptable. As well, the Sumptuary Laws in England, (and customs in other countries) dictated what certain classes could not wear. For example lower classes could not wear a veil, that was strictly for upper class women. Velvet, satin sable and ermine were only worn by nobility. And the type of head dress a person wore was an indication of their status in society.Fashions changed with time, becoming more elaborate towards the end of the period we refer to as the Middle Ages. There was no one specific style for the Middle Ages. In the early years of the Middle Ages upper class men and women dressed in a style similar to the Late Roman Empire. As time progressed they moved away from this to more elaborate headcoverings (whimples, veils etc), hats and embroidered finery and ruffs and fancy collars.
