Practice on some Elizabethan hairstyles

Once we learn new skills we try to practice them creating some Elizabethan hairstyles.
Here are some of the Elizabethan hairstyles I tried to create:

  1. Plaits with a ribbon


                
We can notice that the plaits were very popular since the very old times, as they are represented also on Elizabethan portrais:

I think this is the perfect example to show  of Elizabethan hairstyle in which there is plaiting with a ribbon.


2. Padding and curls



Inspired by:



3. Double padding 

This can be considered a kind of a modern hairstyle of the Elizabethan look as the plait goes in between the heart-shape.
 The heart-shape hairstyle I think is very noticeable if looking through the Elizabethan portraits.
