  • My amateur attempt at a Regency updo based on two illustrations from 1813 and 1814, in which I try to force my very long hair into something that might have graced the head of Elizabeth Bennet.
    Reference pictures are from La Belle Assemblee editions from December 1813 and May 1814.

    ugh, hard plastic curlers were the bane of my childhood. My mother "fixed" my hair everyday for school. The hairstyle reminds me of the Greek goddess statues. Well done. Also, in regency you would have had a maid to help or a sister at least. =) This was fun! The Cher look was cool. Bring it back en vogue

    If you Google "hairdresser on stilts," the first thing to come up will be a Regency-era satirical cartoon showing a man on stilts trying to wrestle a woman's very long head of hair into shape.

    This was so much fun, congratulations on what certainly looked like a difficult hair-style to make! ! It makes one think that those Regency Ladies must have devoted a lot of time to doing their hair according to the fashion of the time.
    I hope we'll get more videos from your Hair Salon :)

    Your Jane Austen content this month has all been so fun and creative! As a theatre/dance person, those spin pins are a lifesaver! I really love the way defined ringlet curls look so I always get excited when I get to use them for a costume :)

    You definitely captured the Regency vibe. I’m impressed. I hope you get as many views as the Brontë hairstyle did. Back in the day I had rollers like that but they were hot rollers so thank goodness there was no need to sleep in them. Just a few minutes and “ta da” ringlet like curls. (I have no idea if these many years later, they are still available to buy.)

    I also don't understand how anyone can sleep with rollers in - getting to sleep is hard enough without. The ringlets are stunning but I think the 80s look is better than the Regency one in the end! I wish I had the patience for this level of hair styling.
