Parisian hairstyles
“La Garconne” is the French version of the bob. Instead of flowing locks, making the head look very large, it is close, neat and boyish.
The hair is pulled back straight from the forehead and drawn plainly over the crown. And the back
is clipped quite short like a boy’s. The sides are allowed only slight fluffiness.
This style is more difficult to wear than the original type of bob, but it is much more distinctive. It brings classic features into startling prominence, but drags into the light every irregularity on the plain lace.
“La Coquette,” on the other hand, softens and flatters in a most soothing manner.
The sides are cut short and curled, but the front is brushed very smoothly and brought low over the face without destroying the outline of the crown. The back is rolled up and held In place with a comb or with two tortoise shell pins.
Queen hairstyle
“La Reine” takes us back to the old days of the Louis and is reserved entirely for evening wear.
The hair starts away severely from the face, but at the crown it changes its tactics and becomes a mass of ringlets and curls, the division of policy being marked by a wide circular comb. Truth forces me to add that curls are more frequently employed in this coiffure than nature’s.
