When I was using a run of 1867-1868 _Harper's Bazars_ for
_Reconstruction Era Fashions_, what struck me were the numerous
descriptions purchased chignons, a term used to cover a wide variety of
hair pieces/styles attached more or less to the back of the head. I put
some of this information in the book.

I recently purchased an 1868
Harper's with step-by-step directions for a ladies' hairstyle. This was
accomplished with the ladies' own long hair. It doesn't look difficult
to do.
Since the film, The Young Victoria, came out, the Queen's hairstyles
have become fashionable again in tweens and teenagers.
