Historical Victorian Hair

Early Victorian

Step By Step

• Section off the front parts of the hair (fringe)
• brush through to ensure there are no knots or tangles.
• Using a pin tale comb section off a small part of the hair and using a heated up curling iron (small barrel) begin to curl the hair. Use pin tale comb to tuck in any strays.
• leave the hair on the curling iron for 15 seconds and let go.
• roll back up using your fingers and secure with a bobby pin to set.

Evaluation-

When I was watching Helen create this look I though it would be relatively easy and it is... once I had gotten the hang of it. I re did the sections 3 times because I was unhappy with the results. 

I find hair a struggle so I was happy when I finally got the hang of this. 

Late Victorian

Step by step-

• brush hair through to ensure there are no knots.
• Using a pin tale comb, section off the front part of the hair (fringe)
• Clip the hair away from the rest and save for later. 
• Using the remaining hair, section off half to create the appearance of half up half down.
• Secure the top half with a hair bobble. 
• Using hair curlers (small barrel) begin to curl the FRONT section of the hair you previously pinned back. Do this in sections making sure the hair is evenly split into 3/4
• Hold irons onto the hair for 15 seconds and gently pull to the right ensuring the curl stays in. Secure the curl with a bobby pin (the curl should look like its in a roller)
• once you have done all the sections at the front, spray with hair spray and leave to set. 
• Using the pony tail, begin to curl the hair in sections and pin them to create a bun effect (not perfectly rounded like a doughnut)
• Unpin the front sections of the hair and place them in the desired areas.
• Using the remaining hair at the bottom, Curl and pin into place as desired.

Evaluation

I am extremely pleased with this finished look! I really enjoyed re creating a late victorian hair style and the end results clearly show my enthusiasm for the task payed off well. The only points I feel have let me down is the sections of hair could be a little cleaner and have less fly away's and also the front of the hair is not symmetrical both sides.
