Doing 18th century hairstyles doesn't have to be complicated! The magic of hairpieces - totally historically accurate to use! - makes doing elaborate 18th century hair styles much easier and much quicker. In this previously LIVE demonstration, Lauren uses a toupee, chignon, and pin-in buckles, combined with her own hair, to create a towering "herisson," or "hedgehog" hairstyle first popular in France around 1776.

In This Video -
- "The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Beauty" Book - bit.ly/2zJ1quo
*In this book are patterns, instructions, and photos for making the pomade, powder, toupee, cushions, buckles, and chignon, along with step-by-step instruction for doing lots of different hairstyles.
- U pins and bobby pins available at Sally Beauty Supply
While this funky 1770s hairstyle didn't come out perfectly (those buckles need work, as usual!), I hope I was able to answer a lot of questions and show the basics of putting a tall style like this together. The video was formerly live and I took questions while I did my hair, but it is now recorded. If you have further questions, please put them in the comments. Thank you!
