The Magic of Hairdressing

zee pouf! copied from a caricature~

I was actually researching something else when I came across this fabulous article on the Magic of Hairdressing.  A Model gamely offered her services in order that hairstyles of old could be reproduced. It's really neat to see these styles in an actual photo rather that as an illustration or caricature, from the pouf to headgear of an African of the day...!
