Helen demonstrated a few of the hairstyles on her Kate head and then told us to put our ideas into reality. With that we had too start creating our own Elizabethan hairstyle. At the front of the class we were given a selection of decorations ranging from ribbons to bracelets.
When I started the lesson I was nervous, I have had no experience in hair, let alone Eizabethan hair. Whilst everyone started decorating their heads, I stood just looking at mine. Helen wondered over and asked if I was okay. I nodded and explained my mind had gone blank. Helen showed me few more photos and it help me start to think more about my final idea.
I decided to split my Kates head into two sections with my comb. I then did a French plait on one side and repeated on the other side.
I clipped both plaits into a spiral shape and left them like that. For the front of the hair, I already started to have a heart shaped because of the way I sectioned the hair at the start. I decided I wanted my design to be simple. Elizabethans hairstyle shouldn't be complicated now as we have the equipment to make it easier. So instead overfilling the hair with decorations I added a simple bracelet. With the already heart shaped style, I thought it gave it the perfect touch.
When leaving the lesson I definitely felt more confident about my idea. I know I would change the back of the hairstyle by keeping the French plaits but placing them into different style.
