Hair Chart 1
This is my first hair chart, it is a mixture of Elizabethan inspired looks and contemporary inspired looks. I want to create big statement hair at the front and a neat plaited design at the back with a plait bun.
I have pulled the hair away form the face to keep with the Elizabethan theme, the bold hair at the front will be secured using props and crimped hair, the front section of the hair will be backcombed and pulled upward to create a large and erratic look. My inspiration for the big hair at the front of the face came from the avant garde looks I have researched on a fashion run way. I have also kept small curled hair around the face to shape it and keep the look contemporary.
Both of my hair charts were inspired by Elizabethan beauty ideals; original elizabethan hair is large at the front and pulled back from the face, I have kept this style in my idea. To make the large love heart shape at the top of the head, I will use large props made from tights, this will ensure a stable and sufficient hight for the design. I may have to add extra hair to the design depending on the hair type of my model. I have also added curls at the front each side of the face as well as enlarged the love heart shape at the front to make it a 'styled mess', this is my contemporary addition at the front of the hair.

At the back of the head the hair is traditional in the sense of having a plaited bun; the hair is pulled back neatly and gripped into place. I have also added a fish tail plait at the bottom of the hair style to add a contemporary feel.
This is a practice for my first hair chart design, I have used the techniques of backcombing, crimping and tying the hair into a bun. I think this design is a good interpretation of a contemporary Elizabethan design, but I also think it is too similar to the original look. Although I have used the backcombing to make the front of the hair very big and stand up, I want to build on this idea and include more techniques.
