Although the Edwardian style seems to be literally the height of hair fashions there are other charming upswept styles and new ways with curls being designed every day. In this group of pictures are four unusual coiffures. At the top left is seen a version of the “plateau” style with a large bunching of curls at the back and a swathed curl above the forehead. This style is most fitting for the small high side-tilted hats. In the centre is sketched a coiffure inspired by the women of the Italian Renaissance. The curls are very sculptured. The small jewelled comb is a smart accent. The coiffure at the lower left is called the “Venus de Milo” and is appropriate for both day and evening wear. The hair is cut into three lengths, ten inches on the top, six at the sides and 15 at the back. The coiffures of the period of Louis XIV. have suggested the fourth style illustrated at the lower right which also has a slight bunching of curls at the back.
