2 Photos for dating

None here that go to the extremes of the second lady :

Although a couple seem to be similar with the same sort of crimping style. Looks like an elaborate hair extension fitted on top of her own hair, designed to give the effect of multiple waves.

Does that sound knowledgeable ??  Because obviously it's not - and I did try !

It impressed me but I still think it's a syrup.

I don't think it's wig...it's too close to her head.

I thought that's where they went.

Thanks for the input so far.  I'll try to get more info about the 2nd photo. 

Pels, I checked the link you posted.  Her hair looks a bit like the pic of the woman with pin-curl bangs.  Maybe she was trying to get that look without cutting her hair. 

It certainly is an amazing style, but I can see why it never caught on.

Does anyone think that this could be the same woman in photos taken many years apart?

Both of these were taken in the 1870's (see previous post) so not that far apart.
Not the same person as one looks a fair bit older than the other & their noses are different.

I agree with Jim about their noses, plus I don't think they are the same person for the reasons you gave in your first post, Christine. But, it's easy to see why you asked the question, at first glance their eyes are very similar.

As a matter of interest, when you asked the above - were you looking at them on a tablet, or a full screen ??
