I just want a hairstyle like they did in the Young Victoria, kinda 1800's monarchy/cavalier type. Any suggestions on how to style it and pictures for ideas? I just got my head buzzed a couple months ago, so now i think its a good time to get some ideas before it grows longer.


Answer
The "Young Victoria" era was a time when men were just losing the fashion of wearing wigs, something they had done for a few hundred years.

.

During the long reign of Queen Victoria, from 1837 to 1901, beards, sideburns and moustaches were the norm on men in the English speaking world. Victoria's son, Edward VI whose reign lasted from 1901 to 1910, and grandson, George V whose reign lasted from 1910 to 1936, both sported beards but both of George's sons, Edward VIII (whose ascended the throne in January 1936 but abdicated in December of that year to marry American divorceeWallis Warfield Simpson) and George VI were clean shaven.

It appears to have taken a mere three decades for male facial hair to go out of style following the death of Queen Victoria and less than two decades for that style to return following Queen Elizabeth's coming to the throne.

During the Victorian era, having one's hair styled by a hairdresser became popular. French hairstyles that were parted in the middle became trendy, while adorning one's head with flowers also gained stead. Austrian empress Elizabeth was the first to place flowers in her hair, and she soon started a widespread trend. "Barley curls" or "sugar curls" were long drop curls worn by children throughout the century. In the early 1840's, women took to wearing these curls alongside a coiled chignon, which was situated at the back of the head. Women continued to wear hats during this era. Fine milliners created fanciful styles decorated with plumes and ribbons. During the 1870s, the hair at the back of the head was occasionally allowed to hang loose, long and full, a lovely natural look that was featured in many pre-Raphaelite portraits. Sometimes the hair was seen in ringlets, and sometimes in large loops. In 1872, an important invention in hairstyling was invented: crimping. Crimping allowed for a "turned up hairstyle" in which the hair was pulled over a hot iron, resulting in an attractive wave. The "Marcel wave" was a new style created by the hot iron, and consisted of loose waves arranged around the head. By the end of the 1880s, pompadours were worn. This was a style in which the hair was swept up high from the forehead. Often, fake hair pieces were used to add height and depth. In addition, the "titus" hairstyle became popular from the 1880s. This hairstyle involved cutting the hair very close around the head. The hair was then curled, and styled with various ornaments including flowers. By the "Gay Nineties", high hairstyles had almost disappeared from the landscape of fashion trends. The look of the "Gibson Girl" was much more natural. A bun swept loosely on the head became the crowning feature of young Victorian girls. The "psyche knot" was especially prominent. This was basically hair pulled back from the forehead and knotted on the top of the head. Small coiffures, pompadours, and French twists were also worn, along with hair ornaments.

To create a Victorian hairstyle, try a natural, long style. Begin by curling your hair in natural waves, either with a curling iron or by setting your hair in curlers the evening before. Pull your front strands to the lower back of your head and fasten with a pin.
