Gothic Horror: Films With Mid To Late Victorian Hair

After I researched films with early Victorian hair, I decided to research films with late Victorian hair also. I decided to do this to see how the hair was portrayed and how accurate they look when compared to the research I have carried out.

I decided to look at the film 'Love In The Time Of Cholera', a 2007 film set in 1890. While researching a film to study, I struggled to find one where I thought the hair was a good representation of the Victorian era. Many of the films also had very few images to study. When I came across the film 'Love In The Time Of Cholera' I instantly liked the hair and it was accurate with the research that I had carried out. In the late 1800's the hair was beginning to become looser and more elaborate. In the late 1800's the famous Gibson Girl look was very popular, where curly hair was piled loosely on the top of the head. In the top and bottom image below I believe the hair to be in the style of the Gibson Girl. From the images I have seen of the original Gibson Girl, I believe the style to be very accurate. Some of the hairstyles seen throughout the film to me seem to be too early for the time period. However I imagine this to be my error through a lack of knowledge rather than a production mistake as a lot of work is put into making films and television shows to ensure they are historically accurate. I really like the hair in the first image, I think that it looks effortless but very beautiful.
