Hair Styles 1901-1914 Pads and frames of false hair helped the hairstyle of this era appear full and soft with the promise of being luxurious caught up tresses. The pompadour style continued in the early Edwardian years and was achieved not only by supports, but by back combing. All the back hair was pulled together into a plait or flat coil and drawn onto the crown of the head. The 'Transformation' Pompadour Style. By 1902 a product called a transformation was being used. Made of natural hair the product was waved and could literally transform any hairstyle into one of abundant wavy hair. The transformation support often referred to as a pompadour frame was easy to buy. It was used as a base for the style and a woman’s own hair was built up and smoothed over the base. The volume these contraptions allowed, meant that the hats had a great support to rest on and so they gave an impression of often appearing to be hovering when they rested on a firm foundation. 2 Types of Edwardian Hair Frames Edwardian Back Hair Tournure Frames for the Empire Style of Hair Dressing Types of Edwardian Hair Frames - Edwardian Back Hair Tournure Frames for the Empire Style of Hair Dressing Types of Edwardian Hair Frames - Edwardian Back Hair Tournure Frames for the Empire Style of Hair Dressing Marie Stuart Frame Other frames including the Marie Stuart frame like the one below gave a heart shaped Elizabethan look to the hair once covered over with billows of hair natural or false.
