victorian hairstyle 1830's to 1860's ( The early Victorian) and the 1860 to 1890

Hair between 1830 and 1860 was very sleek. For women the hair was usually parted in the center and pulled back smoothly towards the back. Some women would curl the side of the hair and the rest of the hair held into a knot at a the back of the head. Also women with very long hair world plat the sides of there hair in to two plat, then bring it back loosely to create a lop effect and join it to the knot created at the back.


Mens hair at this period was more or less long. they also had moustaches,side barns and a beard but this varied over time.  

1860 - 1890.

By the 1860 women were using a lot more hair extension on there hair. Long hair was desirable and therefor extensions were use to give the hair the length. one thing that was very commune during the late Victorian is the fact the hair was usually in large plats and loser curls compared to the start of the victorian era.
