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.
