In our last hair session of the week we was told to create an Elizabethan inspired hairstyle! I started off how I did my crimping and back combing experiment by sectioning the hair but into three parts and back combing the second section which keeping the back and the very front clipped back. Once I had moulded the second section to my desired shape, in this case I tried to shape it into a heart although it just ended up looking very round, I then focused on the very front section. For this section we learned a new technique on how to recreate a crimping effect but you could keep very tight or loose, which you need a large pin and starting at the base of the head go in a zig zag movement though the pin until you reach the end, and after I had finished and pinned the hair into place and let them set I took them out and place it over my dolls already back combed hair. And lastly the very back of the hair, and created a very tight bun which is what the Elizabethans would of done to finish off the look but not to distract from the main section of my design.
In conclusion, this may of not been my best design but I think it was still a good start! I was very happy with my back comb section and my crimping section laid over top as I thought it gave the hair a different kind of texture which the Elizabethans loved to create with their hair. I look forward to creating different looks and getting better at hair till I find that perfect modern Elizabethan hairstyle!
