The tudors tv series - Hair

When Browsing the internet i came across a TV series called the Tudors. I only got as far as looking at the advertisement but what i saw slightly disturbed me. The hair in this TV series was very inaccurate.

using this one image as an example, When i look at this picture (hair wise) I feel like it screams modern. The Woman in this picture are sporting wanded hair, correct me if i'm wrong but i'm 100% sure curling wands did not exist in the 15th century. I understand that Elizabethan women wore their hair down and loose to show virginity and innocence but i imagine them to be the most natural curls which is not displayed in this picture.

Assessment day two !

Designer- me

Stylist- Cornelia 

So hair assessment day  arrived (again) and it was my turn to be the designer. So i sat there buttoned lips watching Cornelia create my design. I personally think she did a good job considering she
has no experience in hair what so ever. She didn't even use padding. I can pick a lot of faults out but that's just me being a perfectionist. I feel she quickly adapted to doing my hair although its a different texture to what shes used to.

Assessment day!

Hair designer- Cornelia Lapinskaitė

Hair stylist- Kyomi best

Working in pairs wasn't a new experience for me. Working in pairs and swapping our designs to do on each other was a challenge. I found it more difficult in make up rather than hair.
Previously doing a two year hairdressing course helped me drastically with this side to the unit. When Cornelia gave me her design i didn't really have any worries as it was quite simple.
I only actually practiced twice with this design, Once with padding and once without. I found the partnership with Cornelia could be difficult at times but we pulled through in the end.

Second time using padding

This is my second attempt at using padding and i am very very pleased with this look. 

I really like the bun at the back and the fact the middle of the hair is staight and the outer sides of the hair are crimped giving a lovely texture change. This look is definitely something to think about when doing my final design.

View point The back- the left padding , middle bun and bottom was done by me and the right padding was done by Sylwia Mazur 

Practice 1

Today my partner practised my idea and these are the results. 

There is still a few things that need practising- I.e- padding placement but I need to communicate more and write instructions for every detail ! 

Overall I think she fine quite well with it. And all though the front is different to how I imagined I quite like it ! I realise I am going to have to concider how to get around my shaved patch!

Cornelia's design

This is the first practice i did of Cornelia's design. 

As you can see her design includes crimping and padding in the front and a bun that i made without a bun ring. I didn't find Cornelia's design too challenging as i have some  hair experience. 

We did discuss the use of using a bun ring as it may save time.
