Victorian hair styles - Estelle and Miss Havisham - Late 1800s

in the 1870's fringes came in fashion, the body of the hairstyle was up higher than previously in the century. 
Hair styles were much smoother at the sides and often featured adornments like bows and flowers. 

How to create a typical late 18th century style:
- Start with a centre parting (Use the mirror!)
- Section off the front section, narrowing towards the ears

- Take a horse shoe shape in to a high ponytail at the back of the head

- Take the ponytail in small section and tong, making sure to tuck the ends in
- Back comb these sections a little, use your fingers to turn in to little twists and pin down

- Ringlet the rest of the hair beneath, holding the tong horizontally at first and twisting to curl the hair vertically
- Play around with the curls and pin around the original ponytail area in a pretty manner

- With the front sections, take sections and from the bottom and tong as normal. incorporate these in to the back sections using pins

- with the two or three top sections by the parting, tong them horizontally and then brush through to create waves.

- To age the hair, you can use dry shampoo all over.
