Hair:   Center part, smoothed back on sides, loose ends confined in various styles Age Differences:   Younger women tended to wear their hair lower on nape of neck   Older women tended to wear their hair off the neck in buns, etc., but still low in the back Hair Ornaments, Nets, etc.:           Nets worn mainly by younger women, if at all                      Generally similar color to hair color or a very fine ‘invisible’        net                     Hair confined separately within net                      Generally worn with hats, not bonnets                      Decorative nets of ribbon, etc. an option for evening wear        Head Wear: Fashion Bonnets:            Appropriate for all ages of women, especially for church or other formal day  time occasions             Covers the top, back and sides of head with sides curving down to meet under the chin and a 'curtain’ covering the nape of the neck             Hair usually fit into rounded bulge in back of bonnet, not hanging below             Worn far back on the head             Fashion trims inside the brim for fashion, but also helped keep bonnet on the head             Made of straw, horsehair or buckram covered in silk or other fine fabric  (NOT modern pressed felt!)             Milliner's wire used to shape brim             Ribbon ties were generally very wide & tied directly under the chin Slat Bonnets:             Far more commonly worn than formerly believed             Deep brim stiffened with slats of pasteboard or other stiff material, completely shading the face             Long curtain extending straight down from brim in front, sometimes extending as far as middle of upper arm             Simple prints or checks appropriate with working dress          Fine material, such as silk or sheer cottons, appropriate with hoop dress Hats:             More appropriate for young women and very informal occasions.

I’ve been getting tons of emails about hair for the do-it-yourself bride. We’ll start off with this super simple chignon and work toward more intricate looks down the line. If you have curly or wavy hair, start by straightening your hair. (Have we even done a tutorial on proper straightening yet? No, and noted!) 
Often, there is a rehearsal dinner the night before a wedding. I always suggest my brides get blown out for that evening. Freshly blown out hair on your wedding day can be semi-annoying because of the ooool’ pesky fly aways. When you blow your hair out the night before, it has a chance to calm down and settle, significantly decreasing your number of hairs gone rogue. If you think your hair will get dirty over night, a simple burst of dry shampoo on your wedding day will make your hair as good as new! Here’s what you’ll need to create this look: 
TOOLS:  2 clear elastics, 5-10 large bobby pins, tail comb or teasing comb, firm holding hairspray and a hand mirror. 
TIP: I always advise looking in a second mirror between each step to check your balance. You don’t want to get too far and then have to start over.

This updo/chignon was kind of a random discovery for short hair. My gorgeous client Katie, who has a long bob, was sitting in my chair and this happened so we thought we’d snap some photos and share since we get a lot of requests for short hair styles! 
TOOLS: bobby pins, accessory, hairspray. 
Prep: You’ll want the hair to have some texture before you pin it up. If you have curly hair, you’re all set. If not, use a 1″ spring iron and curl everything away from your face so it will twist easier. Then it’s just 2 steps! 
1. Take the entire left side and start twisting near your ear. Best to twist it kind of tight and then loosen it up after you pin everything. Stop just past the middle and add a largebobby pin for extra support. You can see where we placed it in Katie’s hair. When inserting the bobby pin, go back against the hair, almost like you’re putting it inside the twist you just created! 2. Now gather all of the hair on the right, along with the hair left out from the other side and twist UP. Position it over the first twist and pin using a large bobby pin. Tuck the hair that’s left out into the twist and add a couple more bobby pins for security. If the hair is too short, just add an accessory like we did below! Now using a hand mirror, check it out from the sides and back to make sure it’s well proportioned and balanced. Loosen it up with your fingers or pull some pieces out around your face if you want a more romantic vibe, then add a veil of hairspray.
