Victorian Hairstyle


Using the marvellous research tool that is Pinterest, I collected a series of images related to hair under the key words, ‘romantic’, ‘cruel’ and ‘eccentric’. It was really interesting to learn which styles represented each term and how the differentiated in the means of shape, texture and colour.
 

In my next practical session, I was instructed to create a Victorian hairstyle using padding and previously taught techniques on a doll’s head. This look also had to include elements from any of the hair images I’d collected.

 
To create this, I experimented with padding the front and side sections and used small barrel curlers to create tight ringlets to frame the face. On the back of the head I experimented with the additional texture of small twists in a linear formation.
