Crimping...

 

These are the results after my hair was crimped using crimpers. The hair was simply sectioned from the hair from the bottom crimping the hair working your way up the head. The technique is very effective when creating an Elizabethan hair style as the hair becomes very textured making it easier to style bigger structures in it. The texture also gives the hair more character a more old fashioned, aged look which is also beneficial when re-creating a dated hair style.

My partner attempted to create an up-do using padding and the crimped hair but she struggled firmly attaching the padding in the hair so she decided to create the structure from just the crimped hair.  She rolled the hair around the fingers and pinned it, like creating a large pin curl. After realising that these styles could be created from just crimping the hair we decided that my hair would be crimped for my final design idea. This would make the process faster when creating the style and the texture and height formed from the crimp will make the plaits included look more effective.
