Curling
Equipment:

In this lesson we were taught how to do curling and crimping in an Elizabethan Era way. So we was shown a small demo of the procedure at first.
We had to curl one side of the head and them crimp the other side. Then we had to brush the hair out after to see the affect.
This is my curls i did. However next time i will curl going alternative ways, as the curls will become bigger and more messier.
This is the second layer of my curls, this layer i have got in alternative order to achieve a bigger look at the end
This is a photograph of my curls brushed out. I was very happy with this look as it was my first time with the tight curls.
Crimping
I really enjoyed crimping as i used to crimp my hair when i was a little girl and it reminded me of old times.
This is my crimped hair before i brushed it out to get the affect.
Here i have brushed out the crimps and i am holding the hair like this to show how much body crimping your hair gives you
This is the finished look and i am very happy with the outcome
Below are some Elizabethan Portraits with their hair crimped

Unfortunately the Artist for this portrait is unknown. This proves that in the Elizabethan Era the crimped hair style was in fashion.
This is a contemporary image of a historically correct hairstyle:

Above is an image of Stacy Ann Ferguson (as we know her, Fergie). This photo shows how the crimping has stayed the same since the Elizabethan times. But, they would have padding on their images in them times. Nowadays, the hairstyles are smaller and flatter on the head.
