My Three Hair Charts

I designed three charts for my final hair design all based on Elizabethan looks, we had the choice of bridal looks or more high fashion and I chose the high fashion route to my looks.

On the left is my first hair design, I really wanted to keep the original heart shape to the hair designs I created yet put that contemporary twist into them. Here, I wanted to do a very slick back heart shape just using backcombing that was smooth and neat then at the back it lead into a large fishtail plait that was a little bit more messy. Along the forehead I wanted a plait that would follow the hairline to crest that sharp line you see in Elizabethan hair.

The second design is a lot more contemporary. Here I had the fringe clipped alone the front of the forehead  on one side then on the other side the fringe would go over into a French plait holding the fringe in place. At the back of the hair I wanted two bun-like shapes that were more like roles keeping a cylindrical shape on top of each other with the fringe plait becoming a part of the top role.

This is my third hair design, I wanted to create a slick back look yet super contemporary. The front I still wanted the heart shape but I wanted it a tad more messier than my other designs, this would be crimped and back combed and have padding to create a large messy shape! I also kept the plait along the forehead to keep a very tight front hair line and to keep it more modern. The back I wanted to keep very smart, I want it to be super straight and then at the bottom to have one big curl to creat a fierce look to the bottom of the hair. This is the design I have chosen to be my final hair design.
