Victorian Hair Work
Of the various leisure activities for the Victorian
woman, none is more interesting than hair
work. During the mid-19th
century hair work became a
drawing-room occupation, as
popular as the much practiced
knitting and
crocheting. By acquiring
knowledge of this art, ladies
were able to manufacture the
hair of beloved friends and
relatives into bracelets,
chains, rings, earrings, and
thus insure that they could
actually wear the treasured
memento they prized.
