My Final Design for my partner
My Final hair chart made clear and with step by step instructions to make my partners life easier, in order to get my design how I want it to look which is designed to my own hair.
Step by Step instructions on how to create my final hair design on my hair, below image, these will be both placed on the mirror for my partner to follow by, making it clear and easy for him to go by.
Accessories my partner used in my buns, which were twisted and scattered in the crimped buns, which gave it a modern Elizabethan feel with the use of the pearls which were popular among royalty in the 16th century but scattering them in uneven buns for a more modern approach and I loved the finish of these, I felt like it made the design.

I also gave it to him because I am using both Elizabethan tradition with a contemporary twist and all these techniques combined will work wonders on my hair, making this design pop and become alive.
I am going to achieve this design, by crimping the bottom half of my hair with the use of a lot of back combing to really give my hair volume to create those rolled buns to the sides. This will be easy for my partner as I have thick coarse hair which is easily mold-able to this design. I will use a fro comb to really bring out the wild frizz from the crimp and back comb before folding the hair into buns.
Previously I practiced the Ric Raking along the hair line and spread it apart and folded it over to create a 'crown' like shape with a back combed quiff just behind it using the front section of the hair to do so, from then I knew I wanted to incorporate this into one of my final designs. I loved the effect and knew this was doable with my hair, especially with the different coloured tones in my hair which I thought would look effective also, giving the Elizabethan meets modern with an edge.
I adapted my design to my own hair, as I know I have a lot of hair and I wanted to make sure my partner used a lot of it in each section, so I didn't make the design to detailed as this would of taken him forever because of how much hair I have, therefore I adapted this. The texture of my hair was ideal, as it is coarse and wirey where their hair was very frizzy back in the Elizabethan times so this was a bonus and also makes it easier to manage and this suited my look as I wanted a uneven texture not a smooth texture, so I adapted this based on my hair texture.

I especially loved the look of all the textures and techniques used throughout my design and it worked well with it all combined, especially worked well on my hair and it stayed well. I also loved the finishing touches I made to my design by adding the shattered pearls twisted freely into my crimped/ frizzed buns, this gave it both a modern Elizabethan feel with the pearls but a modern look with the uneven shattering of them throughout the hair.
