Hair design Practice

For the hair i was looking at the character in a way that shows her as playful and doesn't care what people thought of her in the Elizabethan Era, so it will be up, which is what women had it styled as in that era was when they were married, but she didn't care, so she just did what she wanted and it was ok to do, because she was wealthy. I have made it big, because she wanted to stand out and show off.

First The hair was sectioned at the front, then rolled up into the hair with a ratt that i made, but the tights were quite big and thick to fit the inside that i used, but they worked to what i wanted to create with a big front and smaller piece on top of the head behind it.


The securing it into the hair without being able to see it, then for the plaits on either side that i sectioned, then plaited them and which they went around the head behind the first rolled up part at the front.
Sectioning the top part of the head was next, so it like going around the head when sectioning it, rolled that towards the head with another ratt, then secured into the hair.

Underneath that getting pieces of hair from both sides again to plait, and then that goes under that rolled bit of hair and trying to hide them so you cant see how they are put together.Lastly is the piece of hair left that you section into two, then plait them and wrap them around the head and put up into the middle of the hair behind the first hair that i rolled.


I like how it is simple, but stands out with the hair big when rolled up, and the plaits give it a texture and something other than just two things in the hair. I was trying to make it look slightly bridal, so contemporary with some Elizabethan inspiration in it so that i have related back to that as well.Next time i do need to think about the ratts more and how to create them with thinner tights and less to work with to get the right look i was hoping for.
