This image shows a portrait of a lady painted in the early 16th century, her hair is very big and puffs out at the sides similar in fashion to crimped hair. Crimping the hair gives it large volume and when brushed, increases it even more, this image shows hair similar to this and is part of my inspirational journey to creating my final look.

This portrait of an unknown lady shows extraordinary hair, most of the design is up in a un at the back of the head and the rest is down at the front, although short it wasn't the fashion to have hair down during this time. It shows very small waves of hair that remind me of hair that has been crimped. The image below shows an exaggerated contemporary version, both images inspired me in my design for my models hair.

For this look I have used:
- Crimping iron
- grips for holding weight of the hair
- pin tail comb
- brush
This image was part of my inspiration for the look I design on Eloise, I wanted to make the hair big and bold, this was achieved by crimping the hair and backcombing it to give it more volume, this look is particularly hard with a model with thin and short hair, her hair was recently washed and died so made it difficult to achieve a big and puffy look. Next time I create a look using crimping and backcombing I will use extra hair pieces and props to ensure the hair has lots of volume. This was very quick and would be achievable in a shot time frame.
