Introduction to the wonderful world of Elizabethans

So a basic introduction to what I think Elizabethan hair is and what it is like:

I didn't really know anything about Elizabethan hair, it's not a subject I would have said I know anything about. I would have said red curly hair but that's as much as I could tell you. Looking at portraits of Elizabethans, you could tell instantly that the hairstyles were in tight curls/crimped hair. It looks like it would be a frizzy texture. The shape of the hair tends to be either oval or heart shaped. 




Quickly researching actresses that have played Queen Elizabeth 1, is Cate Blanchett. The stunning actress has played Elizabeth in two films.



Here is also a trailer of second film she was Queen Elizabeth 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age'

I think it's going to be great to develop more knowledge of it and being able to research all the techniques that would be needed to help me create my final look.
