Ripper street is a BBC show set in 1889, meaning that the hairstyles are that of the late fashions. In the first photo, the woman has a tightly curled fringe around the front of her face, which we would not see if the show was in the early period of the era. In the second photo, you can see the elongated hair at the back and hints of a fringe, which again is characteristic of late victorian hair. Lastly, the bottom photo shows the hairstyle that has been brought up to the top of the head, which is different to hairstyles of the early victorian period where hairstyles were relatively low. Curls are also very prominent in these hairstyles, behind the hair and at the front.
The Paradise
'The Paradise' is again a BBC television programme that is set in 1875. The hairstyle on the left here does not consist of too many curls but has the hair reaching her shoulder. Moreover, the photo above shows the woman on the left of this photo with a long section of hair, with the whole of the style consisting of curled hair pulled into the middle going down the back of the head. The women next to her has a bun that also consists of curls, and is pulled up rather high on the crown of her head. The woman in the photo at the top clearly has a bun at the top of her head that consists of thick braids, and she has a side parting rather than a middle parting. You would not have seen this in the early victorian period.
Lark Rise to Candleford
Lark Rise to Candleford is a show set in the late 1800's. A lot of the hairstyles in the programme consist of tightly curled fringes. Some either combine this with long hair and elongated sections at the back like the top two photos, or have the hair drawn up on the crown of the head like the photo on the left. It is also apparent that floral decorations for the hair were popular, and incorporated into the hairstyle with either an obvious effect or subtle effect.
