Bonnents had given way to hats, very small hats over the forehead were worn on to a mass of hair which now formed an chignon of plaits or curls. A lot of hair was required for the new fashion that many women didn't have. Enormous quantities of hair was imported and made-up into scalpettes and frizzettes. Viewed from the sides, the shape of the back of the hair was an echo of the shape of the back of the skirt. Hair jewelry was popular from 1820 to the 1880's after which its popularity declined rapidly. Comb out remaining hair in equal amounts all the way around your head. Separate hair at back of head and tie loosely with a piece of ribbon. Using a sponge roller as a curler, roll up hair from right ear to center front of head and secure with a pin. Roll up hair on left side and secure with pins. Twist ponytail into a fancy bun at the top of head and pin to secure. Roll hair at the back of head into a bun. Slip a crochet snood over bun and stretch up back of head. Tuck ends of snood neatly under edge of rolled hair. Pin snood in place and add a few pretty flowers or ribbons.
