Items such as frizzettes (hair combs with false hair pieces), switches and wiglets are used. Vintage techniques for creating desired effects with hair -- how to make ringlet curls, waves, waving in hairpins, waving on ivory sticks, waving with an iron (Marcel pattern) and water waving -- as well as adding hair ornaments to the hairstyles (ribbons, combs, feathers, flowers) are illustrated with completed hairstyles providing authentic representations of curls, waves and ornament placement worn in the Victorian era. All styles are described within the text with an illustration of the completed hairstyle showing the end results. A small chapter covers wedding coiffures and how to position the veil over your hairstyle for Jewish, Spanish and Renaissance style veils. The final chapter covers powdered coiffures. This techniques was used to obtain a lighter shade, an ash color or more reddish tint for a woman's hair. Vintage techniques for this process are discussed as well as four additional hairstyles using a combination of style techniques already learned: Louis XV powdered coiffure, Louis XV coiffure marquise, Louis XVI powdered coiffure, and Louis XVI coiffure with plumes.
