Early 1900's Updo

During the early 1900's woman generally had long hair but often wore it up to keep it out of the way of chores as a practical measure.

A deep and deliberate side part separates the two sides. Her hair is naturally wavy and somewhat kinky. It was probably difficult to control this trait but pulling it back and into a bun helped to manage the bushiness. You can barely see a barrette that is used to secure the rear portion. She is not wearing a stitch of make-up. Her white gauzy cotton blouse has a modest v-neck with ruffles lining it.
