Hair styling in the 1800s was taken seriously, and much time was devoted to it. Women's hairdos gave them a soft, feminine appearance. Hair was seldom cut, only in the presence of a serious sickness. A myriad of hairstyles were fashionable, many of which involved intricate braiding, twists and curls. Hair in the 19th century was usually severely damaged, as it was often curled repeated with hot tongs or scissors. However, you can recreate a 19th-century hairstyle easily at home with 21st-century tools that will not ruin your hair.
Instructions
1. Divide your hair into 12 sections, and wrap each section around a medium-size roller. Secure each roller in place, and allow them to set and cool on your head for at least 30 minutes.
2. Remove your hair from the rollers. Run your fingers through your hair, loosening the curls so your hair relaxes into a softer, voluminous wave. Grab the top-front section of hair, and pin it to the side for now.
3. Roll your remaining hair up and toward your scalp, tucking in the ends into your roll. Secure it in place on either side of your head with two decorative hair combs.
4. Unpin the top-front section of hair that you put aside earlier. Gently loosen the curls even further, and arrange them so that some of them frame your face and the rest cascade over the rolled hair. Secure them in place with decorative hair pins.
5. Apply hairspray once the desired style is achieved.
