A Boticelli Headdress.

There is a headdress affected by women of regular features and small, thin faces. This is a kind of Italian coiffure founded probably in the Botticelli scheme. All the hair on the crown of the head is rolled up to form a chignon that stands out a long way from the head in a direct line with the nose, says Hairdressers’ Journal. If the hair is not sufficient to make a firm, thick chignon, a “crepon” is wound in it or a thick pad of some sort. The arrangement must be very neat, the hair being brushed upward and standing out well. The top and sides are treated separately with a parting, either on top or at the side, while the hair is, besides, lightly puffed out over the ears. Those who like the wave apply the iron to this part, so as to produce deep, soft undulations, which bring an effect of light and shade into the scheme.
