Not enough female reenactors pay attention to their hair, so it is my goal to find ways to teach women to do their hair in a suitable manner. I have found a video on YouTube that teaches women how to do their hair in a Regency period updo. The Regency period was just prior to the early Victorian period. Some of you are getting into reenacting the War of 1812 and even Jane Austen-style living histories, so I thought I would change up my usual Civil War reenacting lessons and jump to the previous generation.

If you do not have long hair, consider using clip on extensions like the clip on extensions in this blog. Read that blog to understand why hair is very important in portraying nineteenth century women and why it should not be ignored in reenacting today.

Please do not use this style at a reenactment later than about 1825 because it won't be correct.
