Experimentation with Contemporary Elizabethan hairstyles

As you can see I have been experimenting with the contemporary element of my Elizabethan hairstyle. I have taken inspiration from catwalk looks such as the Topshop Unique fashion show and have crimped and then back combed my hair in order to create the big puffy hair. I feel this still links to the historic element of my design as the texture of the hair resembles that of the texture from the historic hairstyles (coarse, frizzy and puffy) yet buy including the element of having the puffy texture down, I feel it adds a contemporary feel to the overall look and resembles that of the hairstyles that have been featured on the catwalk in the past few years. Here is the final outcome of this experimentation.
