Final hair design - Idea 2

I really liked the first design idea and I didn't want to change it completely. I mean, more like in terms of structure, like sectioning etc. But instead of the heart-shaped front I have opted for a round one because I liked this more and I thought that it will be less time consuming. I have also added crimped french plaits on the sides of the design because I felt like I didn't incorporate so many techniques that we've learnt in the first design and it looked better.

Here are some images that I found inspirational for my look:


Historical:


Another version of the Armada Portrait attributed to George Gower, c.1588



Queen Elizabeth I (1533–1603), English School, circa 1592. A half-length portrait of the Queen wearing a richly embroidered and jewelled dress with elaborate lace ruff and collar. She has a 'moon-jewel' in her hair. The painting is possibly derived from Isaac Oliver's miniature of the ageing Queen.







You can clearly see the round-shaped curly or crimped hair that the Queen has in those portraits. I would love how it will look with a sleek texture and crimped french plaits on the sides.


1606 - Painting by Robert Peake the Elder (British, active by 1576, died 1619)
 of Princess Elizabeth (1596–1662), Later Queen of Bohemia

There were also other important figures that adopted this round big, round shaped hair in the front. The best example is the latest portrait, the one with the Queen of Bohemia, which seemed to have really big, round shaped hair in the front, but with a sleek texture instead of a curled one. 



Modern:




Elizabethan inspired round-shaped hair.




Imagine these crimped braids on the sides with that sleek round shaped hair in the front and the crimped fluffly rest of the hair. Lovely!
