Elizabethan Hairstyle on Ruby Part 1

Create an Elizabethan hairstyle - Part 1

You need:

• pin tail comb
• brush
• kirby gribs
• hair pins
• padding
• sectioning clips
• barrel tong
• crimping iron

Start by brushing the hair and get rid of any knots. Then section the hair in 3 parts. Front part is for curling, second for crimping and then you have the back part leftover. My curling section was a bit bigger this time because I wanted to have two rows of curling. Also made the crimping section bigger as well so you can use crimped hair to do the plait ( I changed from using a french plait to a normal plait->it's just quicker)to secure your padding on. The crimping gives it more texture and that's better to secure it. Start with crimping the hair. Do the plait and secure the padding on it. I went for a heart shape so try to get both sides symmetrical. After you crimped and did the padding, do two rows of curling at the front. While I left the curls to cool down I started with the back. I wasn't really sure what exactly to do with the back hair so I just curled it and plaited it in a french plait. I actually just wanted to curl the hair and have all the curls to one side but it looked boring. But I wasn't really satisfied with the french plait either. Then I went back to the front and decorated the padding with one layer of curly hair and the front layer with pin curls. I am always quite satisfied with the front so I should really think more about what to do with back. It would be good to actually think about it before I do the hairstyle :) Otherwise my time management was good again which makes me feel quite confident for the timed assessment^^

 NOTE: I noticed that the hair behind the padding is still messy and I have problems tucking it all in so I have to work on it!
