Victorian era had a plenty of compositions of the hairstyles. During this time people thought that women's hair was the most high-priced thing on them. Depending on the current fashion, the false hair was complemented as well.
In the last of the XIX century hats also were very important outfit detail in women's image. At first, they used as protection from the sun. However, after a while, hats became a symbol of style statement and authority. Womens always wore hats when they went out, which was made of velvet cotton or satin and was layered on a wire based covered with straw braids or twisted fabric.

1830-1860
In this period 1830s-1860s the hairstyles were a little bit similar to the late Elizabethan era. It was fashionable to part the hair in the middle and pull it back or twist the sides to cover the ears. The top of the hair was smooth and sleek. It was also very popular the braids or sausage curls, which framed the face.

1860-1890
During this period the hairstyles became large. Women started to use additional hair fillers and multiple hair pieces, which became very popular. In the late 1870's the hairstyles and the bustles became tighter. During this period ladies started to crimp their hair and style in multiple waves. Pin-curl bangs were also very fashionable. Until the late 1890 the hairstyles typically stayed close to the head and a tight twist on the top was very popular.
Victorian hairstyle practice on the doll head
First of all I had to divide a straight line of hair in the front and two straight lines, which ended near the ears.(Tip: If you want to make a straight line, you should always check in the mirror and if you are happy with your line, you can do the rest of the hairstyle).
The divided hair I curled with a curler in four even sections towards to the face. The top of the hair had to be sleek and smooth. From the rest of hair I made a small bun (plaited the simple plait and rolled up together and put a few pins in it).
