Process of Creating Late Victorian Hair
1. Brush the hair through thoroughly to remove all knots and tangles from the hair.
2. Using a sectioning tail comb divide the hair into a middle parting from the front to the very back of the head.
3. Divide the hair again using the tail comb from ear to ear, the hair will now sit into four equal sections, taking the front two sections secure them away from the rest of the hair using sectioning grips.
4. Create a V shaped section at the top of the back sections and secure with a hairband into a high pony tail, this will become the structure point for the rest of the bun.
5. Dividing this ponytail into four small sections, curl each section using the smallest curlers into tight ringlet curls.
8. Begin pinning some of these curls up into the bun ensuring the sides are smooth against the head, this will create additional thickness and shape to the hair eventually creating a waterfall effect of curls. Do this for the remaining lower section ensuring that the ends of each ringlet remain neatly tucked up into the curl.
9. Then taking the front section of hair divide each side front section in half creating four partings at the front of the head.
10. Curl each of these sections outwards away from the parting into one large ringlet on each side of the head and pin the lowest of each of these sections into the bun on each side.
11. Split the upper section into three and curl each section again with a small tong so that the curls fall towards the face.
12. Gently brush through these curls so that they become one large curl at the top of the face.
3. Divide the hair again using the tail comb from ear to ear, the hair will now sit into four equal sections, taking the front two sections secure them away from the rest of the hair using sectioning grips.
4. Create a V shaped section at the top of the back sections and secure with a hairband into a high pony tail, this will become the structure point for the rest of the bun.
5. Dividing this ponytail into four small sections, curl each section using the smallest curlers into tight ringlet curls.
6. Taking each curl individually split them and then twist them around to create a messy bun of curls, ensure that the bun does not become rounded or "present shaped" like the modern styles dictate.
7. Now taking the bottom section of hair free from the bun begin to create a number of tight ringlets all around 1 inch in width across the whole back section of the hair. 8. Begin pinning some of these curls up into the bun ensuring the sides are smooth against the head, this will create additional thickness and shape to the hair eventually creating a waterfall effect of curls. Do this for the remaining lower section ensuring that the ends of each ringlet remain neatly tucked up into the curl.
9. Then taking the front section of hair divide each side front section in half creating four partings at the front of the head.
10. Curl each of these sections outwards away from the parting into one large ringlet on each side of the head and pin the lowest of each of these sections into the bun on each side.
11. Split the upper section into three and curl each section again with a small tong so that the curls fall towards the face.
12. Gently brush through these curls so that they become one large curl at the top of the face.
13. Pull this curl backwards on each side and pin to the bun, ensure that the curl remains and forms a waving shape at the front of the head.
14. Repin some of the curls at the side of the head to ensure they sit smoothly against the scalp allowing for the remaining curls to sit visibly away from the rest of the head in a long ponytail of curls.
15. Decorate with jewellery and flowers as required.
Evaluation
This hairstyle was more challenging to recreate than the previous style that we had been taught, this is mainly to do with the fact that this style is from later on within the Victorian reign when hair had become far more elaborate and ornate. That being said I felt that this creation went well and I was able to produce a style that mimicked that of the styles of the period, unfortunately the class had run out of flowers and jewellery etc so I was unable to decorate my style once completed however this is something that I can experiment with upon my later creation of characters such as Estella should I choose to place her within the later years of the Victorian reign. Although the final outcome of this hairstyle was highly effective I am unsure as to whether it would be a practical style to create within the final assessment as it did take me the full class time to recreate this look. In future if I was to produce this styling I would need to practice the look consistently to get the timing accurate for the final assessment. Overall however I was pleased with how this hair style turned out and feel it is a very beautiful style to both create and photograph.
