Early Victorian Hair 

• Jane Eyre (2006) BBC Adaptation - this is set in 1850

Jane Eyre is about a young governess who falls in love with her brooding and complex master. However, his dark past may destroy their relationship forever. Jane Eyre is played by Ruth Wilson.

The lady who created and designed the Hair style was Anne Oldham, she created typical Early Victorian hairstyles such as the one you can see below with the bun at the back of the head and plaits wrapped round it. I love this very simple hairstyle which is actually surprisingly easy to recreate as we actually created this hairstyle in one of practicals. This hair style consists of mainly two plaits and a bun. This is hairstyle is one of the more iconic hair style Victorians wore as you can see below in the diagram of other Victorian hairstyles. All you do is part the hair in the center, Section a large section of hair from the tops of the ears and create a bun with this and plait the front sections.

Late Victorian Hair

• Tess of the D'Urbervilles (2008) BBC Adaptation - Set in the year 1884

In the late 19th century, Tess Durbeyfield is sent off to visit a rich cousin, Alec D'Urberville, when her parents learn that they are distantly related. Tess takes a disliking to the man and his attempts at seduction are rebuffed. Returning from a village party he forces himself on the innocent girl who eventually makes her way back to her parents' home. Ashamed and pregnant she seems destined to forever being marked a certain kind of woman. After the death of her child, she makes her way to a prosperous farm where, working as a milkmaid, she meets and eventually marries the handsome Angel Clare. On learning of her past however, he abandons her and with little choice and facing a life of extreme hardship, again falls into Alec's clutches and becomes a kept woman. Pamela Haddock created the hair styles in this TV Series, however she didn't create typical late Victorian hair styles as Tess was from a poorer background.

I really love the hair styles created in this TV series as it different to what I've seen typical Victorian hairstyle to look like as she didn't have her hair in up, it was free this was probably because she was from a poorer back ground. The hair kinda represents freedom to me as it's loose as can move where ever.
