Frizzing!


In this lesson we have covered frizzing. I have enjoyed this lesson as i have never tried this technique before and i think it is a very Elizabethan look.


Step by step guide to frizzing:

Step 1. Section the hair
Get a square section from the area that you want to frizz.

Step 2. 
Figure of 8
Place the hair in the clip and twist the hair around the clip going round in figures of 8

Step 3. Adding another clip if hair is too long
Once you are nearly at the end twist the little wispy bits round the clips, when you hold the straighteners on the hair it will stay in place, if the hair is too long then use another clip and carry on with the figure of 8.

Step 4. Straighteners time
Press some hair straighteners down on the twists, the heat keep the figures of 8 in place and flatten the pattern.

Step 5.

Leave the pins in until the hair has cooled, then pull the hair out of the clip.

Step 6. 
Continue these steps all round the head.

Step 7. Final outcome
Once the whole head is done and the clips have been taken out, brush through the hair to create a frizzing effect, this goes body and a very elizabethan look.

Below is one of my first figures of 8. I am very please with this as it is very neat and their are no loose hairs.
Below i have done to show you that the hair was too long to go round the clip so i have added anything clip and carried on with the figure of 8.
The two pictures below i have taken the clip out, before i have brushed the hair out too.
Below is my figures of 8 brushed out
 This is my finishing look, the figures of 8 brushed out makes the hair look frizzy and there is a lot of volume too. This is a very Elizabethan style.





Elizabethan Portraits with Frizz




"The Rainbow Portrait"
Painted by Henry Bone R.A.
      Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I (1533 - 1603)

This is the Portrait of Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) The rainbow portrait. This is most probably one of the most colourful Tudor portraits. I cannot believe that Queen Elizabeth was getting on for her 70's in this portrait. she has hid her age so much.
I personally think that this portrait makes her look so young as this is what Queen Elizabeth wants us to remember her by.
This portrait is proof that in the Elizabethan Era they used to wear there hair in a crimped style as this was the fashion. Also an application of padding has been applied to give the hair a bit of volume. To finish the hair style, the hair has been decorated with pearls.
In this portrait Queen Elizabeth I is wearing a bodice which is decorated with flowers, three pearl necklace, several bracelets, a brooch in the form of a cross and a fantastic ornate head-dress. This makes the Queen look very elegant and you can tell she is important.
