These are photographs of the practise I did with padding. I have used padding on both sides, creating the classic Elizabethan heart shape.
I have crimped the hair before I did padding to create a thicker texture of the hair and add volume...
The photo on the right shows the side of the head and how in the end I decided to leave some hair down at the back. This turned out to be very convenient as the model had very thick hair and this is how I have adapted the hairstyle to her type of hair.
I have also created a mini bun at the back in order to hide all the hair grips. This I think added a more of a modern feel to the hair style as buns are very fashionable right now. However, it is still Elizabethan because of the padding and the texture of the hair.
