Looking
for some new inspiration for your next at-home hairdo? Or maybe needing some
reassurance that bad hair days happen no matter the time period? – we have it
covered! Dive into some hairdo (and don’t) highlights and explore the best to
the worst from the Glengarry Pioneer Museum’s photograph collection. Each post
will focus on a new hairstyle trend and spotlight a related post from the Ladies
Home Journal featuring the latest tips on fashion and personal care of the late
19th century. First published
in 1886, the Ladies Home Jou
rnal became the first American magazine to reach
one million subscribers! This made them one of the greatest influences of
women’s home and fashion trends.
In
the meantime, if readers are in desperate need for hair care tips – the ladies
of the 1890’s knew best! Perhaps your hair is in urgent need of hydration or
thickening? Try a mixture of castor-oil and brandy! Could not get to a hair
salon and tried to bleach your own hair? They have the answers. Below are some
of the staff favorites for remedies given in an asked and answered column of
the Ladies Home Journal, 1891. Also featured is a sneak peek of some of our
favorite hair photos to show what is in store for readers over the following
weeks!
