Elizabethan and Modern Frizzing and Tendrils

After learning how to create frizzing and also tendrils, I wanted to see what kind of looks the Elizabethan women created using these techniques and also some modern takes on these looks. 

Frizzing

Frizzing could have been used in this hair look to create those very tight waves in Elizabeth I's hair and to create the right texture. The frizz starts right at the root of the hair to give the hair volume and lift.

This look, from the film Elizabeth I, could either be made from very tight curls or they could be the waves made from the technique frizzing before they get brushed out. I think a wig and padding was used to create this look and then the waves/curls were laid over the top to give the perfect top layer.

I found this look on pinterest and it reminded me of the Elizabethans because of the very white skin and red frizzy hair. I love how voluminous and crazy the hair looks and I think the technique we learned would be perfect for creating this big hair look!

These two photos are from the Marc Jacobs spring 2011 fashion show. They used the exact some technique of frizzing that we learned, as you can see from the top image of one of the model backstage. In this look, the frizzing did not start right from the root as the top of the hair was smoothed out and then the frizz started lower down the hair. As well as the big frizzing hair, the makeup was what drew me into this look as it is very Elizabethan. François Nars, the founder of NARS cosmetics, was the makeup designer for the show. He wanted all the girls to have their eyebrows bleached and then gave them heavy black eyes and a burgundy lip. “It still gives makeup a decedent look, and it’s more interesting and wild,” commented Nars. “If you remember, in the early Seventies, brows were not really featured.” 

Tendrils

Here is an example of Elizabeth 1 with tendrils in her hair and I think the technique we learned for frizzing would be perfect for creating this look, obviously before the waves get brushed out. I think they make the look more fun and girly, without the hair being completely down. I also think frizzing was used on the top half of the hair to create the volume, height and texture.

I found it very difficult to find anything similar to the hair in the Rainbow Portrait, with the tendrils falling down the back of the head; however I found many at the side of the face. Here, AnnaLynne McCord has put her hair in a high bun and left some tendrils down to frame her face.
