creating an Elizabethan heart shaped hair do

In a few of Elizabethan portraits, the hair is in a heart shaped up do.

this image is a modern image of the Elizabethan era look  
in this pic the hair has been curled using small tong and then pined in place using small skinny pins.
the use of lace and purls gives it that extra Elizabethan look. also the white makeup and red small lips and red chicks is the some as a upper class Elizabethan women would look.  

 


in the lesson today we were asked to create heart shaped Elizabethan hair do. for this look i used two equal padding and a lot off hair pins. i also climped the hair to give it the Afro texture.

1. i climped the hair 
2. divided the hair into two, in the middle 
3. sectioned out a small amount from the front of the hair 
4. using a padding i placed it in the center of one of the divided section, but fast i did a small flat french plat at the center to help support the padding in place. 
5. using hair pin, i pined the padding in lace on top of the french plat. 
6. then i back combed the hair to create more volume and molded it in place. 
7. taking the sectioned hair at the front i brushed it in place to give a more smooth effect.
8. i repeated the steps again on the other side. 

holding the head up ageist the wall i checked if the shape was even. as seen in the pictures above the shape is perfect but one side of the pudding in slightly off. also the sides should be more sleek and Cline. 

in the future i will use hair spry to get rid of any flyways. also i will try and put the pudding in the exact place as the other pudding to avoid one side been slanted.
