The Victorians rarely cut there hair and used wigs and extra hair to make there hair look fuller and thicker, unless they were ill in which case it was cut short. There hair was there glory at the time and was worn pulled back into a bun with a centar parting and either tight curls at the sides or very plain plaits which showed the ears though, this may sound boring but it really wasn't there buns were full and had intricate plaits running though or around them very high up on there heads, hair clips and ornate combs were also used to decorate there hair.

In class this week with Helen we practiced how to achive this look on our Katie head dolls using tongs and a simple bun at the back. I also went on to try out the plaits.

1860-1890s
As the 1800s come to an end the victorian women started being a little bit more free with there hair, they starting wearing loser curls which hung around the face or elaborate big up dos. they were massively influenced by the like of the gibson girls who were more favoured then the New women.
