We now began practising on each other rather than just working on our styling heads. I knew it would be different from working on the head but I have styled friends hair before so I wasn't too worried. I did find that working on a person was much easier than working on the styling head.
The first Elizabethan hairstyle I created was a heart shape design including curls and crimping.
I began by sectioning the hair into a T-section leaving two strands of hair at the left and right side of the front of the head. I then crimped each section and created a small plait in the middle of both sections, leaving some hair left out from the front and back. I placed two pads and pinned them into the plait, to do this I pierced Kirby grips through the tight on the padding and twisted them into the plait to keep the padding in tightly. I then back combed the rest of the hair on the left and right section brushing all the hair over the pads making sure there were no gaps showing. With the hair left at the front I used the curlers to curl the strands of hair and clip them up. At the end I managed to create a crimped heart shaped design with tight curls at the front of the head.
Next I created an Elizabethan hairstyle by just using plaits. I started by sectioning the hair into two sections at the back and a section at the front. I began French plaiting the front of the hair starting from the left, making my way round to the right and pinning it under using Kirby grips. I then created normal plaits down the left and right section and pinned them over using Kirby grips to create a loop each side. Beth's hair is braided and I found it very interesting and useful working on her hair.
