Hair Design: Two

Hair Design Two:

After looking at my first design, I was aware there was a lack of period reference. I wanted this look to show the more animalistic side to Bertha Mason. I was looking at using more frizzed hair in this but on reflection that there is hardly any reference to the Victorian.

There are some elements of this I would like to carry forward to the next design. I really like the idea of plaits. I think they are understated and I know from childhood memories that they are used for practical reasons. I had really long hair and to keep it out of my way at night my nan would braid it. I thought with Bertha being ‘cared for’ that it would have been a practical hairstyle.


Looking at historical references, the hair styles were smoother than Elizabethan hair.

I think I’ll plait the loops in the next design.
