The request was for 1880s hairstyles. I love the Rapunzel site, but
don't remember if anything there is a good match for 1880s.
The hallmark of 1880s hair is frizzy bangs! Perhaps a clip of fakehair
for the front of your style would work. The rest of the hair was worn
either under the hat (atop the head) or below it (toward the nape),
but can be almost anything. The frizzy bangs (and no center part) are
the most visible style detail.

I'm putting the finishing touches on my Halloween costume -
actually, a
dress from various Truly Victorian patterns.
I need ideas about what to do with my hair. It's long and very
straight.
I need something easy that I can do relatively quickly in the
morning. It
doesn't need to be historical, I'm already planning on makeup
that won't be
historical, but I'd still like something that keeps in with the
style of
the
period.
Any ideas? References? Pictures? Techniques? I'm all ears...
