Edwardian hairstyles

A collection of Edwardian photographs, depicting some of the hairstyles of the time, like the Low Pompadour. Hatpin Hairstyle. Side-Swirls. Flapper (The title ‘Flapper’ originally referred to teenage girls who wore their hair in single plait which often terminated in a wide ribbon bow.) & the pompadour.

    I am torn between admiring these styles and being grateful that today's styles are much easier to maintain!

    There is a short segment at 13:05 in this video where she demonstrates how one of these hairstyles is achieved (BBC Edwardian Farm, Episode 6). Though I think you would find the entire series interesting.

    I would not have been a happy camper in those days. I prefer wash and wear hair--I don't even blow dry.
