Edwardian Hairstyles

ed1

Some hairstyles in history are complicated.Β  Some hairstyles in history make you very happy that you didn’t live during that time period (i.e.1830’s). Β Some seem so impossibleΒ to recreate that the hair must be fake, while others will continue to find rebirths in modern decades. Β But one particular look, it seems no matter who you ask, tends to be an all time favorite. Β Which look am I talking about? Β The Edwardian look of the 1900-1920’s. Β From the Gibson Girl pouf, to the delicate waves of low buns, Edwardian women knew how to make their hair work for them. Β And while curling irons were just becoming more commonly used, many relied on tried and true techniques of their mothers to complete these heavenly creations.

I have gathered a wonderful sampling of these looks to drool over…and maybe recreate for yourself! πŸ™‚

I simply adore these looks, and it was one of the reasons I decided to go with an Edwardian image for my blog logo. Β Grecian in style, with a sprinkling of Regency, and a dash of something completely unique, the hairstyles of the early 1900’s will forever, at least in my opinion, be some of the most romantic ever created!

  1. And you found a pic of someone with hair as fine as mine! Seriously, if I saw that, I would assume modern costumer with poor hair skills because it looks so non-standard. I am always jealous of the effortless volume those women achieve. (My hair reaches my waist, but it can tuck into a bun smaller than my fist.)

    Love those Edwardian styles!

  2. I’ve been researching this area as I’m going to the Somewhere in Time weekend next year. I wish I could find a good step by step book on how to create these styles!
