Classic and Vintage looks 1770-1930

Hey everyone,

I know that it has been a while since I have updated. I am sorry. I have been so busy with different projects that I am working on and just general day to life. Lately I have really been interested in early hair styling and wigs they just fascinate me.  I also notice a lot of what was worn back then is very similar to what is on the runway and in today’s fashion.

I have complied some of my favorite styles from 1770-1930. I really wanted to go back further than 1770, but then I thought that might be something that is better for a second update.

1770: "Pouf" I love the classic couture look of this, the flower and feather embellishments really make it look special. It was often styled into allegories of current events, such as a hot air balloon. 

 This look is referred to as the“hérisson” or “hedgehog” was a mass of curls, with emphasis on width rather than height.

The popularity of wigs started to drop at the begging of the 1790's. This  look is just simple curls tied back.

1800's

 A knot on the top of the head was a popular trend in the 1800's as were long curls around the face.

 I am seeing looks very similar to this one everywhere. It reminds me of the bun that you make with a sock. I like how loose she has it in this picture. I also wonder how secure it actually is.

These are some of the more common styles from the era.

These looks remind me slightly of the "pouf" and the "hedgehog", but more toned down. Probably because its actually her hair.

1900's

The 1900's are what I think really created the foundations for today's hair styling. If you look at any red carpet or fashion magazines it is easy to tell where they got their inspiration from. 

I love how simple and elegant this look is, love the pin curls.

 When I started hair school I was so excited to learn how to do finger waves. It really is a look that takes a lot of practice but the out come is stunning.

This looks like it came straight out of Vogue. I love everything about it. Its amazing. This style is from the 1930's but it also reminds me a lot of something that could have been found in the 1700's, its a very regal look.
