If you can't beat 'em- be devious, eh Debra? <br />Apparently the fashion was to part the hair over the crown of the head from ear to ear, and then a centre parting forwards. The back was put in a tidy bun (so a bonnet fitted over the top) and the front made ornate since it was the only part that was seen. <br />I fear for the health of their hair, since I suspect the ringlets were made by winding hair round a hot poker. <br />Thanks for visiting, <br />G xPippa Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10128414630918980034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4745893693457784689.post-16194450056571908052015-05-11T00:32:14.616-07:002015-05-11T00:32:14.616-07:00Thanks for an interesting post, and congratulation...Thanks for an interesting post, and congratulations. Look forward to the rerelease. I agree with Debra about the ringlets and the weird back to front parting young ladies used, but they did work with bonnets! Even worse were loops over the ears.
