Playing around with hair – May 2013.
 |
| This is just a rolled and pinned looser style, done right after my hair dried so that I have a lot of fullness and curl. The ribbon/lace thing is based loosely on a Godey’s illustration, and could be worn for fancy occasions. |
 |
| Same style as above, sans decoration. |
 |
| A hairstyle I found in my Dec. 1862 Godey’s. |
 |
| Trying the style out! I couldn’t quite get the figure-8 on the back, though. I really like this style. |
 |
| Another style I like is having the back braided and coiled, and the front smooth and down over the ears before wrapping around the bun. There is a picture in the book “Dressed for the Photographer” where you can see a lady having this hairstyle (approximately). Here I also braided in a ribbon, for fun! |
 |
| Same as above, different angle. |

| Same as above, different angle. |
 |
| And just for fun, a modern design: a french braid all the way around my head. |
 |
| Same as above, other side. |
Most sincerely yours,
