Victorian Hair Styles

On this page you will see eighteen illustrations of Victorian Hair Styles as shown in Peterson’s Magazine from 1868. Hair was often styled to reflect the latest fashion trends. For example, in the early Victorian era, it was popular to wear hair in a style called the “chignon,” which was a bun that was worn high on the back of the head. In the late Victorian era, it was popular to wear hair in a style called the “cascade,” which was a waterfall of curls that flowed down the back. In fact, long hair was seen as a sign of beauty and femininity.
