Late Victorian Hairstyling (Technical)

Products

• Hot rollers
• Comb
• Pins
• Hairspray
• Small curling iron.

Procedure

• Start by putting rollers in the front of the hair, as seen as in the pictures below.
• Take the back of the hair and create rolls or buns (I created two rolls and a twist.)
• Curl the remaining hair.
• Take out the rollers and pin them back creating a pretty wave.
• Let the curls hang out of the style and make it elaborate.
• Take the curls at the bottom and pin them up into the style.
• Spray hairspray to finish.

Inspiration

 
This is my first attempt at a late Victoria hairstyle, I was really lucky when creating this as my model had lovely long hair tow work with, however I think that I made my style too symmetrical which ruined the effect of the overall hairstyle, I would like to add some extra hair to the back and curl it and let it hang down the back as this would make the style look a lot more elaborate. One of the main criticisms I have for my hairstyle is that I believe it looks too contemporary, so I would like too re-create this hairstyle again to make it look more accurate to the period.
