We see a range of headwear. Rounded crown headwear seem poplar and were worn by girls and boys. The hat itself was plain. Both boys and girls wore plain rouned crown hats. Girls also wore decorated versions. These hats often came with stremaers which could be quite long. Girls could have epecilly long streamers. We also note girls wearing bonnets in the 1860s, but we are sure yet about overrall headwear styles. Mothers wanted to show hair and thus headwear is absent in most photographic portraits.
