1860-90 Victorian Men's Hair

During this short century many Victorian men wore their hair short and towards the end of

 the century men wore their hair close cut and shaved.  The image below is of a gentleman from the 1860's with short, curled hair, the man still wears side burns which are slightly shaved near the top of the head and then connects with a full beard and moustache.

The appearance of men during this century were well groomed and whiskered and some Victorian men even shaved their facial hair off completely believing that this look made a man appear more 'fastidious' meaning they payed close attention to detail and were well put together.

The image above is an example of the 'Aesthetes' trend, were Victorian Men shaved off their facial hair completely. I feel that both of these Victorian hairstyles worn by men have become popular again today and the excess hair grown by boys and men today are styled into 'Man buns'.

During this century, Victorian Mens Sideburns became longer, bushier and whiskery this is how 'Mutton Chops' became a trend, If the side burns were very long and combed out they were called 'Piccadilly weepers'. Many Victorian men who wore both a moustache and a beard were normally worn in different ways; either thick, bushy and in a rounded shape or in a long pointy shape.

The image above is a portrait which shows the pointed beard style men also wore in the 1860-90 Victorian era.

This pointy beard still is less whiskery and more tamed and was worn long and short.

The image above is a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm, who was the last German Emperor from June 15th 188 till 9th November 1918. The 'Kaiser Moustache' is normally referred to the late Kaiser Wilhelm as he wore a well structured waxed, pointed moustache. Many older men continued to wear traditional beards and moustaches into the new century although the clean shave trend took over.
