How to create a Late Victorian Hairstyle

Equipment Needed:

• Hair Tie
• Bobby Pins
• Small Curling Tong
• Sectioning Clips
• Dry Shampoo
• Rat Tail Comb

Step By Step

1. Start by parting the hair down the middle using your Rat tail comb.
2. Then section from the back of the ear up all the way to the other side of the head. 
3. With the front section create two sections on either side of the center parting.
4. With the back section create a 'V' shape and pull the hair into a high ponytail.
5. Using the small curling tongs begin to curl small sections of the ponytail - making sure to tuck the ends of the hair into the curling tong.
6. With the curled sections pin them around the pony tail.
7. Use the small curling tongs to sausage curl the rest of the hair remaining below the pony tail.
8. Begin to pin the side sausage curls near the ponytail - leave the middle long curls but separate them slightly with your fingers.
9. At the front part of the head start with one section and begin with three sections and curl them vertically facing into the head. - Do this on the other side section too.
10. With the two front sections brush them separately together and smooth them over to the ponytail area is - do this on both sides. (It should look like a big soft wave)

Optional

• You could add decorative accessories such as fake flowers or ribbons.
• Also to make the hair appear grey, spray dry shampoo or colored hairspray. 

 Personal Analysis

For my first attempt of a Late Victorian Hairstyle I don't think it's too bad. I'm going to keep practicing creating sausage curls as mine weren't very neat. I found it difficult to make the ponytail part look neat a tidy. Overall I think I could do with more practice.
