Hello ladies,
It's obvious here you're pretty skilled with hair styling. It's always nice to lurk here for some inspiration. But now since I'm running out of options I would like to ask you about sites with some instructions or other help with doing historical hairstyles(baroque, rococo victorian, elizabethan etc). I understand some of them require special frames or other equipment, or adding volume by a sponge hidden in your hair. But still it would be fun to make.
Here are some ideas to begin with:

it's hard to make it with those instruction as a base (on the left side are pictures)
also this lady's hairstyle (I hope she won't mind using her photo)

I always wonder how to make such a lovely volume effect on sides
and here is a site with fabulous hair tutorials.

So, please post some links, ideas, photos... Would love to see an outcome of experiments! Long hair=fun with styling:wink:
