On Thursday, 16th October, our tutor, Helen, showed us a few slides of inspiration for our own contemporary Elizabethan hair designs. We looked at what they added to their hair to make it more interesting & also the different techniques that they used to create these extravagant hairstyles. We then looked at some slides about contemporary hairstyles inspired by the Elizabethan era for fashion catwalks & photoshoots. During our lesson, we tried some of these techniques on our Kate Heads & added various items into the hair like bows, beads & ribbons.
This is what I created;
What I did was, I parted the hair down the middle & did a french plait on one side of the head. I then weaved the ribbon into the top of the head & tied it around one part of hair. I then weaved it all the way through the hair, following the movement of one specifies piece of hair. This made it flow naturally instead of having it all over the place. This was the first time that I did something like this, & I didn't find it too difficult. I managed to weave the ribbon through by using my pin tail comb, this made it easier as it's smaller than my finger & alot neater. I liked doing this technique because it looks nice & is simple to do.
