Elizabethan Introduction

An important part of The Fundamentals of Hair & Postiche unit is to gain a significant understanding of historical contexts and how the fashions and techniques from various eras have impacted the trends and styling methods of today.

The Elizabethan era is my first historical brief. After researching ‘Elizabethan hair’ extensively, I will create designs, some traditional and others with influences of contemporary styles.

Practically, I will be able to create these designs on a model thanks to the skills and techniques in hair styling that I will be taught during workshop sessions. 

I plan to use this blog to document my research and design process and the general build up and conclusion of this entire brief.
