Mine, too. I've never been too successful with them, because I am one
of the Lesser Favoured ones with thin, limp hair. I managed by putting
it all up on top of my head and letting the upward-pinned hair "pouf"
a bit on its way up, since it was going against the grain.
For special occasions I actually resorted to backcombing it before
capturing it in the topknot. Looks great under a chapeau with hattitude.

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.
