The previous post about the pompadour hairdo mentioned the use of false hair by Edwardian ladies for achieving the look of fashion. Here's a video I found on YouTube of someone (I assume an actress by the way she's made up) working a wig into her own hair in what really is a relatively period-correct way.
The main inaccuracy here is the hairspray: if you want to keep it historically correct, the original trick for holding hair in place was to sweep pomatum or castor oil across the hair with a brush.
