Internationally this style was and remains a standard for women with long hair. For centuries women have worn this hairstyle while engaged in their daily work. It was a choice available to women who did not want to take the irreversible step of adopting a bobbed hairstyle. The Bun or Cottage loaf is the natural progression from a loose hairstyle. Nevertheless this is the rightful place to mention the style. The 1914-18 standard hairstyle, if there was such a thing, is a centre or off-centre parting with a loose low bun at the back. Many of the portraits where women are facing the camera or wearing domed crown hats she has low a bun at the back. After the age of seventeen loose long hair was seen as very slightly improper; perhaps more childish or unconventional than indecent.This convention applied even as late as the Twenties.The bun or the earphones hairstyle were often worn until a women chose a bobbed hairstyle. Some remained forever cautious and never took the plunge. |
