Curling Hair

After a consultation with a client find out what type of hair they have to decide the heat setting on the curling wand. Spray the hair with heat protect. 

Wrap the hair around the wand for 3-6 seconds then either let it go loose and for pin type curls use hair slides to keep the hair pinned. 

Practise on my mum.

Contemporary Portrait vs Elizabeth Portrait

This portrait illustrates Queen Elizabeth at an earlier age of 26. One of the main reasons why i chose this as my portrait is because of how simple but yet so powerful it is. Elizabeths strawberry blonde hair and beautiful pale skin became symbolic from an earlier stage hence why as she got older, the use of make up increased to achieve the youthful red cheek and lips. I love this image especially because Elizabeth in it shows purity but also strength equally. Her long hair alongside with the use of pearls which believes to symbolise purity and honesty made her the perfect virgin queen. At the same time this portrait shows Elizabeth as powerful and important by the use of the colour gold which shows wealth and royalty. More so her robe has a lining of ermine showing nobility and faithfulness to her people.

Contemporary portrait
James Bond, Goldfinger 1964

Goldfinger was the third James Bond film to ever come out and it is about an investigating to gold smuggling, however the reason why I chose this as my contemporary portrait is because of its similarities to my Elizabeth portrait. Although in reality it is the man in the picture who has most power since he is armed, the attention will always be on the girl laying in bed behind him which was similar to Elizabeth; being around so many men and people that doubted her she stayed as a strong leader.  It is clear that the man in the shadow wants to harm the girl however her significance is shown through the man with the gun who is there to protect her, similar to Elizabeth who also had people that protected her which shows that she was loved.
The reason why i am inspired to recreate my make up look by these two portraits is because although they are very simple one with minimal colour and the other with only one colour they show power, strength and wealth through the colour gold.  Elizabeth shows her purity and innocence through her beautiful long her and jewels similar to the girl in the portrait which shows vulnerability since she is laying there unconscious of what the man in the shadow can do to her. However at the same time both women in the portraits show there power through symbols of wealth and power by the use of colour and also the jewels. 

CONTEMPORARY ELIZABETHAN HAIR VS ELIZABETHAN HAIR

Even to this day so many designers such as Chanel, Alexander Mcqueen, Vivien Westwood etc. are very much inspired by tudor hair. From he texture to the shapes and jewels that were popular in the Elizabethan era is still used now by the most famous designers in the world.

The Heart shape

The hair at  Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2010  was very similar Queen Elizabeth's hair with the classic heart shaped hair style with a fashionable collar to go along with it. 

WIGS

This hairstyle from London Fashion week 2010, for Vivienne Westwood was similar to Elizabethan hair mainly because of the large wig with messy frizzed hair.

Beyonce's hairstyle for the O2 advert is very Elizabethan with a large wig that was popular in the 18th century.

Crimping and Frizzing hair

Frizzed and curled hair was favoured by Queen Elizabeth and therefore desired by most upper class women to show their status. 

We were taught 2 different frizzing techniques which were crimping then brushing it out which is more of a modern look or the figure of 8th's frizzing techniques which was more similar to tudor times. 

CRIMPING

To crimp the hair we take small sections and hold the crimped to the section of the hair for 3-6 seconds depending on the thickness of the hair then move down until the whole strand of hair is crimped.  Brush it out and backcomb it if a big frizz is needed.

FRIZZING

To frizz the hair we take a small section of hair and a hair grip and wrap the section around the left side of the grip then the right and repeat until all of the hair is wrapped around and looks like a plait.

Then secure with a pin and go over it with straighteners to create tight curl. Take out the grips and brush the hair out for an extreme frizzed hair which was similar to queen elizabeths.

In this shoot for vogue the frizzed hair has been brushed out and teased to create a messy big hairstyle which was similar to how Queen Elizbeth wore her hair, frizzed and big up in a hairstyle in contrast to this modern look which the hair is down.

Hair Bow

H A I R  B O W

To create a hair bow put the hair in a tight ponytail and on the third round of securing the hair band only pull half of the hair out and leave it in a bun.  After separate the bun into two sections making it bigger and use the remaining of the hair that is facing the front to sit in the middle of the two sections that were separated from the bun and secure it with hair grips. 

Buns and Braiding

P L A I T


First of all we brushed and detangled the hair then divided it into three sections as even as possible. Then we cross the left section into the middle section then cross the right section over the middle section as tight as possible and repeat till all over the hair is plaited. 

F R E N C H   P L A I T 

Again separate hair into three equal sections and use the right strand over the middle and then the left to the middle. Then go back to the left section and add more strands of hair to that section and cross over to the middle. Repeat on the right side adding strands and continue with this technique. 














B U N 


To create a bun start of by putting all of the hair into a tight ponytail, after grab the hair in the elastic into sections and put it over the hair elastic and secure it with hair grip. To this to all sections of the hair until all is secured 
then shape it as big or small as you want.

Elizabeths Hair

E L I Z A B E T H S    H A I R 

Of course the ideal tudor woman had a snow white complexion with strawberry blonde hair, but having just the perfect hair colour was not good enough, how the hair was presented with different hairstyles and jewels could show the wealth and status of women. Although Queen Elizabeth achieved her extreme pale skin using make up, her hair was natural and idolised by many women as it showed her as the pure 'Virgin Queen'. This is where women started to dye their hair to look like Elizabeth with mixtures such as saffron, cumin seed, celandine and oil which in the long run could end up damaging hair badly. 

                                                   W I G S

Elizabeth was also a big fan of wigs and she owned more than 80 of them to compliment her fashionable dresses and jewels which she wore everyday. 

Hair became very important when fashion did as it complemented the fashion especially when the collars which were attached to dresses and raised up to the neck and back of the head became fashionable, because at is framed the face an Elizabethan up do complemented the look and showed off the ruffles on the collar.

A frizzy texture to the hair was also very popular for the women to have and fringes were out of fashion with a far back hairline which the queen had therefore idolised by other women.


Head coverings

Hats were used often to compliment their dresses and covered most of the head leaving the front of the hair with a shape that the hat was formed in.


The coif : Coifs were useful as they were worn to keep the hair in place and was usually plain coloured.






The French Hood : Symbols were very important to Queen Elizabeth to show her purity and wealth. Pearls and jewels were very popular in the french hood with a veil that covered the head.









The Atifet : The heart shape was also popular not only in wigs but also in head coverings.












The Caul: Covered the back of the hair and was favoured by Queen Elizabeth   
Many of the hats were adorned with feathers, pearls, jewels, gold thread, and lace.
