second bustle period, 1883-1889
For the first few years, we retain the simple bun at the nape of the
neck with bangs. However, in the last few years of the era, as styles
shift to the gored skirts and leg-o-mutton sleeves of the 1890's, we see
the beginnings of the pompadour, with slightly looser styles and hair
arranged on top of the head.
1883
This is a transitional period, as some women retain the bun at the nape
of the neck with bangs, and others begin to incorporate french twists
and arrangements at the crown of the head. Styles remain relatively simple
and close to the head. Bangs are nearly ubiquitous.
