Edwardian hairstyles were largely dictated by the millinery  trade.
When the cartwheel hat fell from favour after its peak in 1911 this hairstyle was a natural progression.
This style was underneath the swaithed mushroom and boater hats popular just before the Great War.
It can be seen worn with both elaborate high turtle neck blouses worn by early Edwardian ladies and shallow V necked blouses which followed them.
Nobody likes to make sudden changes in their appearance. We all like to observe trends develop before we decide whether to adopt them or not.
Edwardians were no different.
