Hair-Dressing.
[Victorian Hairstyles]
We give illustrations of
several beautiful Parisian coiffures and chignons. No
striking change has been made in coiffures. The chignon is
worn lower, and the melon rib waterfall is no longer in
vogue. The Eugénie bandelette, consisting of a row of short
curls across the forehead, is worn in connection with the
long Marie Antoinette locks, one behind each ear. One of the
latest novelties imported from Paris by the New York
hair-dressers is the "rope chignon," which is at once simple
and effective. For this the long hair is fastened a little
way below the crown by a small circular comb, and is then
divided into two twisted ropes of two strands each, which
are brought downward side by side for about seven inches.
The two ropes are then joined by twisting together the two
alternate strands, thus forming two new ropes, which are
carried upward outside of the first two, and are fastened
under the comb, thus making a chignon composed of four
parallel roped lines. The front hair is slightly creped, and
drawn back from the forehead.
An excellent way to lengthen
the hair for plaiting is to fasten a tress of hair to the
ends of three long rats, a little shorter than one's own
hair, then to tie these rats quite high under the latter and
braid them in with it; in this manner a seemingly thick
braid is obtained of any length that may be desired.
