Newer than “Dutch” braids is the fashion now so popular of wearing the hair drawn softly to the top of the head, caught there with a ribbon, the top strand plaited in the back hair which is slightly, rolled and caught three inches from the ends with another bow as illustrated, in the “hair-dress” of the demure little miss in the upper picture. The little girl whose hair simply doesn’t “fluff” will find this rather a difficult style to manage and it may be more satisfactory for her to braid the back hair loosely, double

Victorian Hairstyles
How should a victorian lady wear her hair? A Victorian lady of fashion will wear a stylish pompadour to show off her graceful neck to admirers.
A shapely head can be seen when tresses are rolled and pinned in a pompadour hairstyle. The hair must part loosely and carelessly on one side and flow gracefully over the forehead on the other side of the face. The hair must be knotted on the crown of the head in a delightful loop.
Summer belles wear their hair combed high. Ladies with hair in this style, appear full, with not a pin in sight. Perfect for thick chestnut ringlets.
