Honestly I'm swallowing this wholesale if it happened until like the early 90s or something. Maybe even later. To think of roman hairdressing styles as entirely an archeological question and never one where you might ask a hairdresser seems pretty par for the course for academia
Why werent they consulting hairdresser in the first place? They can't be experts because they're not academics? is that the reasoning?
It's made up, like facebook clickbait. Archeologists are not idiots.

If it happened in 1940 maybe.
