Experimenting with Elizabethans hairstyles (Curls and Frizz)

Curls and Frizz

Equipments:

 

·         A tail comb

·         A comb

·         Bobby pins

·         Sectioning clips

·         Hair Tongs

·         Hair Crimper

Step 1: To achieve the Elizabethans’ curls, I have used the hair tongs. Set the hair tongs for heat 25 while for damaged hair for 15.

2: Divide the hair further depending on how much curl you want. Grab small pieces of hair and place the tongs halfway down the hair and start to turn the hair in the direction of the curl. Remember to hold the tongs vertically and make sure to get the hair all the way to the ends when curling it.

3: Wait for around 12 seconds and release the clamp slowly from the hair. Do not fully release the clamp, but release it by clamping downwards. Use a bobby pin to secure the shape.

4: Repeat the process and after curling all the hair, remove the bobby pins. The photo below is what it looks like after removed the bobby pins.

After that, I have divided each curl into two and it allows more curls and volume.

Frizz

Step 1: In order to achieve the frizzy hair, I have used the hair crimper to help me. Divide the hair further depending on how much hair u want to frizz in one time. Grab pieces of hair and hold the hair crimper on the hair for around 5 to 10 seconds.

2: The photo below shows what it look like after crimping the hair.

Then I have used the comb to brush the hair and the photos from below shows what it looks like.

You can see after brushing the hair with the comb, the hair got more volume and it gives nice patterns and finish on the hair.
 

Zig Zag Curls (Weaving the hair with hair pins)

Equipments:

• Hair Straightener
• Hair pins
• Hair clips
   

Step 1: Start from the top parts of the hair. Grab small pieces of hair and put it in the end of the hair pins.

2: Then, put the hair out and in and out the hair pins to create the zig zag curls (it’s like weaving). Continue with the process until u have finished. Use a bobby pin to secure the end parts of the hair.

3: After that, use the hair straightener and crimp the hair for around 10 seconds each time.

4: Remove the bobby pin and the hair pin carefully and it should look like what I’ve done in the photos on below.

 

On the left, I have separated the curls and it gives more volume to the hair compare to the curls that I’ve done on the previous step.
