Smart & wild.

My interpretations of smart and wild hair.

Smart.

To me this hairstyle looks very smart. As it is tidy and simplistic. The hair is not completely away from the face but is not obstructing the facial features. There is not a hair out of place. It is feminine and tidy look. I would wear this look to work or to an interview as it has a very formal feel to it. It looks smart, and sophisticated. It is also bobbed which can be categorized as a timeless style, often  associated with career women.

Wild.

To me this hair style is very wild why? It instantly captures my attention. As it is striking and inventive. Although the colour is not bold the style certainly is. It looks as though it has been styled as a Mohawk. The Mohawk has been curled. This look reminds me of a hyena as they have a fuzzy strip of fur starting at the top of their head ending on their back. Even where the hair has been pulled tightly creating what looks like a stripey pattern into the side of the heads. Strangely enough some hyena's even have stripes on their fur. This look looks wild as it reminds me of a wild animal, and is out of the ordinary. I can visualize this look being worn at a catwalk or for a hair style magazine shoot.

Welcome to my blog.

Welcome to my blog. This blog will be bursting with historical and current research of my current project of The Elizabethan Era. Here I will be exploring many aspects of hair styles, and texture, shape, and colour from the era, as well as contemporary aspects. I hope to gain a strong knowledge of the eras hair trends and techniques and hope to develop what I have learnt into my own style of hair styling. I would like to complete a hair design that follows the expected guidelines of the assessment and my own expectations. I hope to gain confidence, and greater, creativity, and communication skills.

Red heads and royalty.

The Read heads and royalty brief is about finding out historical research on the Elizabethans as well as showing technical observations of the eras hairstyles. From this research to create your own Elizabethan hairstyle that is contemporary to you yet also shows some Elizabethan technique for it to be relevant to the brief. We must design a contemporary hairstyle and create a pack that communicates our ideal look and how to create it on our head of hair.

I understand what the brief is asking and will try to make my design pack as simple as possible for my partner.
