looking at the Elizabethan hair style, hair looks more textured and frizzy.

The elizabethans were known for having there hair in a textured form. they used to climp there hair using hot ion. this kind of look was mostly seen in elizabethan wigs.

Climping and curling is not just stuck in the Elizabethan era, today you will see catwalk looks by the top designers such as Alexander McQueen work to channel and Vivian Westwood,  using clumped hair in their final overall image.



For this week we had the opportunity of leaning how to crimp and curl hair to achieve the Elizabethan look. In the Elizabethan times women would crimp and curl their hair using hot ions. this would have been highly damaging to the hair and because they did mot use heat protector.

To achieve a similar frizz look and a curl look, i used clippers and tongs. i also used pins to hold the curls in place and also to create a more defined frizz texture.

crimping gives the hair more of a soft Afro texture. the deep waves in the hair are more defined and visible. as seen in the pictures.

• to crimp section the hair into small sections and start crimping from the root to the tip. 
• continual the process all over the hair. 
• on the right the hair has been brushed out and on the left the hair has not been brushed out

curling the hair give it more of a soft wave look. 

to create this look, 

• section the hair into smaller sections and using a curling tong curl the hair and secure it with a hair pin so that the curl douse not fall. 
• continual the process through out the head. and then live to cool.  
• once the hair has cooled remove the hair pins and brash it out if need be. however you can live the hair without brushing and style it.
• on the right picture the hair has been brushed out and on the left the hair has not been brushed.

above is another way of clipping the hair to make the hair frizzy.

using the wide large pin weave the hair in the pin from the root to the tip. once all the hair is in use a small hair pin to hold it in place, then using a straightener clamp the weaved hair in place in between the straightener and hold it for 10 seconds then relies it. allow the hair to cool before taking it out.
the result is more of a S shape. when separated the waves become more defined.
