These are indeed wonderful kind of hairstyle. I like the Gorgeous Librarian victorian hairstyle. Though they all look the same, it stands out from the rest. Maybe because of it’s hair color. Very attractive.
Sober Look victorian hairstyle is the nice and a new kind of hairstyle i liked the design of this hairstyle.
i love how the pics are set out :p
Hardly any of these are actually Victorian though. :-/ I was kinda hoping for actual historical hairstyles, not ‘it’s an updo, let’s call it Victorian’.
I totally agree; most of the hairstyles weren’t historically accurate. Having side-parted hair wasn’t really done during the Victorian Era, and messy looking hair wasn’t a thing either.
