Contemporary Elizabethan Hair: FRIZZING, PADDING, CURLING, PLAITS

This image really stood out to me because it is quite a striking image, the image is obviously promoting hair and has made it, its main feature by making such an extravagant hairstyle. I believe this has been sectioned and the middle section of the hair has been frizzed or crimped, the outer section has then been left straight. All sections have then been backcombed and slightly styled to the side. This is then finished with a lot of extra hold hairspray. I think this would work very well as a contemporary Elizabethan hair style.

I was very interested when I stumbled across this image. I think that this hairstyle is one that would be fun to recreate. I am undecided weather this has been done with either a waver or frizzing, but with wire instead of pins and not brushed out. It would work with both techniques but I would really like to try it with pieces of wire and a straightener. This design also has a middle parting which is very Elizabethan, making this a contemporary Elizabethan look.

This look interested me because of the braids at the front which kind of looks like the love heart shape that was worn in the Elizabethan times. It also looks like an atfiet but made out of hair.

This hair look, looks like a contemporary Elizabethan style to me because of the crimping and it is bringing in a historical feel by including the plait. The other thing that interests me is that it is quite a simple look and braid, it also looks like a fashion look, so once again making it modern and contemporary.

These images really excite me. The first one is very edgy, I like the fringe because Elizabethans didn't have fringes, they wanted very high foreheads to show intelligence. I also like the curls because they slightly sit to the side, which I think continues to make it look edgy and cool.

The second image is my favorite out of the two. The positioning of the padding is different to what the Elizabethans would have done, which makes it quirky and contemporary to me.
