Pre-Civil War hairstyles included
sausage curls framing the face...
popular during the early Victorian years.
|
|
|
|
Prior to the Civil War it was fashionable
to part the hair in the middle and pull it back
or twist the sides to cover the ears.
|
|
Hairstyles in the Civil War period typically
had a part in the middle and the hair pulled
back into a bun, braids or curls.
|
|
|
|
Often ladies included the use of a snood.
|
|
Toward the end of the Civil War period
the hairstyles became larger and the
use of additional hair fillers (aka rats)
and multiple hair pieces became popular.
|
|
|
|
Large and elaborate hairstyles
continued on into the early bustle period
until the late 1870's.
.
|
|
In the late 1870's the bustles became
tighter and so did the hairstyles.
|
|
|
|
For a few years during the
bustle period it was popular
to have the hair crimped or
styled in multiple waves.
|
|
|
|
Pin-curl bangs were also in vogue.
|
|
Hairstyles typically stayed close to the head
until the late 1890's, a tight twist at the top
was very popular.
|
|
|
|
In the early 1900's hairstyle began
to get larger and they continued to
grow bigger and bigger into the
Edwardian period where the large
Gibson Girl styles became all the rage.
