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.
