Edwardian Hairstyles

Today I would like to share with all of you a tutorial on how to style your hair like a young lady of the Edwardian era. This article was published in the December '09 issue of Challenging Femininity. The instructions are fairly simple, and pictures are provided, which makes everything much simpler. I have yet to try this style myself but hope to do so soon. Enjoy!


*PERSONAL DISCLAIMER ADDED BY THE HOSTS OF UNSINKABLE: This tutorial was inspired by a style worn by Rose in the '97 film Titanic. Having not seen the movie ourselves, Unsinkable and its hosts do not in any way support this film or its affiliations. Thank you.*

Miss Sharla linked a video tutorial and did this style, and after seeing her photo and watching the video, I had to try it. Amanda was kind enough to let me experiment use her as a model. This is an elegant updo inspired from Rose in the 1997 film Titanic. It really is a simple style, but the curling part did take some time.

For this style you will need: a curling-iron, bobby-pins, natural [egg]hairspray, a few clips, and a comb.

First you want to start by pinning up just over half of the hair, and then curl the entire bottom layer. [Note: If your hair is already curly, wavy, or has good volume you won't need to do the layer-curling steps.] When you’re done let down half of what it clipped up and repeat by curling that layer as well...

Have a lovely day, ladies! Is anyone else loving autumn right now? A respite from the southern summer heat is just what I need to encourage me to put my nose to the grindstone and get on with my schoolwork... that is, when I'm not outside dancing around for pure joy. :)
