Re: [h-cost] 1880s hairstyles
Wow, that's an amazing site! Too bad most of them are really too complicated to do in the morning... I'll really have to get dressed quickly... I'll be sure to steal some of her tricks though :-) Thank you!

Re: [h-cost] 1880s hairstyles
Something I do from time to time, inspired by the Rapunzel site: Take the top half of my hair and twist it into a rope as if I were going to do a bun. But instead of putting all the hair in one tight knot, I wrap it around in a gradually bigger spiral on top of my head. Pin like crazy with all the pins pointing toward the center and tuck the end under. Take the bottom half and split it into half vertically. Twist and wrap it up and around the spiral, increasing the size of the original. Keep pinning like mad. Finally, take the last section, twist, and wrap in the same direction as the second hank of hair. Keep pinning and tucking under the end. I use about 25-30 pins for this. Mine is mid-back length, coarse and curly. You may need more or less depending on your hair type and length. I get compliments on this about how amazing, pretty, complicated, and old-fashioned it looks every time I do it.

Re: [h-cost] 1880s hairstyles
I do something very similar to this, but I start by clipping the top section back, quite high, with a big decorative slide or barrette. Then I plait the three sections, and wind them round the round the slide in the same way, but more on the back than the top of my head. It looks like you've got an immensely long plait just held up by the slide!

Re: [h-cost] 1880s hairstyles
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. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ I'm putting the finishing touches on my Halloween costume - actually, a dress from various Truly Victorian patterns.

Re: [h-cost] 1880s hairstyles
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. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Oct 20, 2011, at 8:18 PM, Lisa Ashton wrote: What about 1890's hairstyles?
