Hairstyles- Pre Civil War- And Post Civil War Era
Prior to the Civil War it was fashionable to part the hair in the middle and pull it back or twist the sides t...o cover the ears. Hairstyles in the Civil War period typically had a part in the middle and the hair pulled back into a bun, braids or curls and toward the end of the Civil War period the hairstyles became larger and the use of additional hair fillers (aka rats) and multiple hair pieces became popular. Large and elaborate hairstyles continued on into the early bustle period until the late 1870’s.
