Early Victorian Hair

The early Victorian hair designs have some aspects that make them look different from the late Victorian. This designs are covering the ears with a plait or curls and the back hair is usually gathered in a bun.The parting is always in the middle.
   Tools:

  • Brush
  • Tail comb
  • Hair clips
  • Hair pins
  • Hair band 
  • Hot curling Iron  

 How to:

  • Start with the middle parting of the hair till the top of the head and separate the section that goes right behind the ears. Clop it with hair clips.
  • The hair that remained on the back- gather it in a ponytail (it will ease your work)
  • Make a braid with that ponytail and put it in a bun.
  • With the front sections of the hair, take the hot curling iron and curl them in vertical way. 
  • Keep them tight till they cool down (for a perfect Victorian hair style)

   

 

Instead of curls you can also make a braid on eash side and pin them in the bun for example. They must be arangen in the way that goes over the years or even below.
