To create this design I started by taking a section of hair from the front of the head but leaving a small section out for me to curl. When curling the front section of the hair I thought the curls weren't as tight as I would have liked them to have been and I think this is due to me taking big sections of hair to curl, rather than keeping them small. I then took a bigger section of hair from behind the curls, big enough to cover the padding and then crimped this section of hair. I then created a small French plait in the crimped section of hair to attach the padding to. To keep this plait in place I wrapped the end back over the top of the plait and pinned it into place with Kirby grips.
After that I then got some padding and placed it over the plait making sure it was an appropriate size to fit this side of the head. I then pinned the padding in place and to do this I used Kirby grips to pierce through the tight and twisted the grip around and pushed it into the plait to keep it in place. I pierced it a few times around the padding to make sure it was secure.
Next I got the crimped section of hair and gently brushed it over the padding to cover it, making sure no gaps were showing. I tucked the ends of the hair under the padding and used Kirby grips to keep it there, also making sure the hair grips didn't show.
After creating that, I then pinned the curls up on top of the head in front of the padding to finalise my Elizabethan hair design.
I was very happy with the outcome seen as this was my first attempt, although I feel I still need some more practice to improve certain parts such as, the curls and increasing the height of the hair over the padding.
