Boys' Ringlet Curls: Sisters with Braids



Figure 1.--This brother and sister about 1900 wear white hair bows, but note how differently their hair is done. Rather than righlets, the girl has her hair breaded and curled on top her head.

One alternative to curling long hair is putting it in braids. We note portraits of girls with braids with brothers, normally little brothers, in ringlets. The braids can both be made to hang long like ringlets, or curled up behind the head or on top of the head. we suspect that some of these girls, if they did not jave little brothers wearing ringlets, would have worn ringlet curls themselves.
