Fulsome hair on a female was a
feature of the late Victorian and
early Edwardian period. Pads and
frames of false hair helped the
hairstyle of this era appear full
and soft. The pompadour style
continued in the early Edwardian
years and was shaped over a
transformation or tournure mesh
frame. Frames including the Marie
Stuart support frame, gave a heart
shaped Elizabethan look to the hair
once the frame was covered over with
billows of hair. False frizzettes,
false switches and plaits all helped
achieve the look of the day.
Some of the c1900 styles shown here
are reminiscent of 1830's Apollo
Knots. At night hair had to be even
higher, so plumes and ornaments all
helped achieve the illusion of
height. These pictures show advanced
hair ornamentation using aigrettes,
feathers and frame supports. This
information has been supplied by the
Fashion Era
website.
