Victorian Hairstyles

I have been doing some research into Hairstyles that would have been popular throughout the Victorian Era. Although Make Up was generally something women did not want others to know they wore, kept very modest and plain Hairstyles were often fairly elaborate and women took much pride in the style and appearance of their hair. because it would have been expensive to have ones hair styled regularly and due to the fact that having your hair done would have been fairly time consuming it was usually only wealthy women who could afford to have their hair in the latest styles on a regular basis, they would also have a great deal more spare time to pass sitting around whilst a hairdresser perfected their hair.
Popular hairstyles during the first years of Queen Victorias reign differ greatly to those from the later victorian years, some of the key features of these earlier styles included

• Sausage curls framing the face (usually to just below the chin)
• Hair covering ears
• Centre partings
• Bonnets

Here re some examples of 1830's hairstyles 

 Hair styles throughout the Victorian Era often included lots of neat tight curls, these could be added to up
