I have chosen a half up, half down look because I believe this is quite contemporary and is often used today, as well as the bun I have decided to incorporate, and have higher up on the head (again, which is quite modern). Having it higher up, actually makes it almost seem like a crown or head accessory like the Elizabethans would have worn. In the bun, I have decided to also incorporate quite big statement pearls - the pearls are Elizabethan, but the fact they are quite big and they make a statement relates to modern society because accessories are often used to make a statement nowadays.
Going around either side of the bun will be a small plait - this is an Elizabethan influence, and where the hair has actually been taken from below the bun, it creates a heart-shape, which is, again, related to the Elizabethans.
Finally, I have decided to have very defined curls, which will be created by using the frizzing 'figure of 8' technique (made with slightly longer grips, so that the curl is not too tight), but it will not be brushed out. I feel this is a mixture between modern and Elizabethan, because curls are still used in today's society, but yet these type of curls are very similar to the tendrils that Elizabethans would wear.
