Bun inspired by photographs of women during the early Victorian Era. You'll need hair pins, a boar's bristle brush (or whatever you usually use,) and something to part your hair.

You'd have good French hair styles. You should watch Marie Antoinette, the movie. Although it's not the most accurate thing in the world, she had great hairstyles that you might want to try:) There's one that I did where you take a section of your hair and leave it out of the updo. You later curl that section of hair and pin it over your shoulder. Just something to think about. Keep up the GREAT work, this was just what I was looking for.

@pandapower96 I love Marie Antoinette! I've seen the movie and liked a lot of the hairstyles. The issue with the Georgian pouf is that it requires structure, back combing (or "teasing") and tons of product. I don't use product and I don't back comb my hair, for obvious reasons. Even her Petit Trianon hair was rather elaborate, even though she was pretending to be a peasant.

I appreciate the feedback and am so glad my video helped you out. :-)
