Early Victorian Hair

Early Victorian Hair Style 

In the early Victorian era the hair styles for women were quite short looking hair styles, so they would have tight curls either side of the face and then plait work buns right on top of the head. Once style was called the Apollo knot. 
In 1810 it became fashionable to wear big hats and then after that it was fashionable to wear a bonnet which they put most of their hair into using a bun of some sort.
In the 1830s they started wearing their hair in a high bun but slightly lower than the early victorians and then a centre parting and then plaits either side of the face looping under the ears and into the bun. This was a very popular hair style in early Victorian era.

I attempted the last hair style I talked about above in class, I started off sectioning the front off to the back section and then made a bun with the back section by creating a ponytail then plaiting it own to the end then twisting the hair round itself to create the bun shape then secured that with pins.
I then moved onto the front sections, I created a front centre parting and then loosely plaited the sides to the ends then wrapped and tucked that into the bun, I then repeated that on the other side.
This look shows an early Victorian hair style.
