I love how in the Chanel picture above the hair is accessorised with colour and flowers. this really makes the 15th century technique of padding contemporary.
We recreated these techniques in class.
Crimping
Needed
· Crimping iron
·Gown
·Clips
·Pintail comb
·Denman Brush
Method
1. Depending on your clients hair
condition heat the crimper to the desired heat.
2. Section the hair starting from the
underneath
3. Make sure your sections are not
wider than the crimper.
4. Clamp the crimper together with the
hair in between firmly for 5-10 seconds.
5. Ensure your client is comfortable
6. Move down the hair to form a
constant crimp.
7. Repeat this process all the way down
the hair.
8. Crimping helps create texture and
can also make the hair thicker and easier to work with.
Although the crimping creates a good base and texture for a look it doesn't create enough frizz to match the hair styles of the Elizabethan age. We then moved on to using Geisha Pins to create a more frizzier texture.
Frizzing
Needed:
·Gown
·Pins
·Geisha pins
·Straighteners
·Pintail comb
Frizzing
1. Take a section of hair, the small
the section the tighter and more defined the frizz will be.
2. Place the geisha pin into the hair
and slide it down to the scalp.
3. With the hair in between the pin
create a figure 8 shape, winding the hair around the pin.
4. Continue doing this until you come
to the end of the hair and then slide a hair clip onto the figure 8 up to the root
to hold it in place.
5. Heat the straightener and hold it on
the Geisha pin for 5-10 seconds.
6. Let the hair cool in the pins
7. Once the pins removed style as you
desire.
After brushing the ste out it is easy to achieve the frizzy look that the Elizabethans strived for.
Another Elizabethan hairstyle is padding.
The padding gave the Elizabethan wigs height and structure. To achieve this in class we frizzed the hair to add texture first.
Padding
Needed:
·Gown
·Pintail Comb
·Pins
·Clips
·Sectioning clips
·Padding
Inserting the padding
1. Gown your client and do a hair
consultation.
2. Section the hair in front of the ear
and clip it forward out of the way.
3. Figure out where you want the padding
to go and create a tight, secure French plait. This will form the base of the
padding and give it something to hold onto.
4. Pierce the padding with pins and
secure it into the plait making sure its firm and wont move.
Covering the Padding
1. Unclip the hair in front of the ear
that we previously section and place it over the padding.
2. Tuck the remaining hair under the
padding and pin.
3. Use a pintail comb to move the hair
around ensuring all of the padding is covered.
