Two final designs

Design 1 

I based this look on an image I saw which is on my inspiration blog post.

The hair would be crimped all over and then with a rat underneath or just with backcombing made into one large quiff and taken back. Like what my partner did in the practice session previously.

I then decided to make it more interesting I could add some plaits from the front and place them over the top.

The issue with this design is that my hair isn't long enough to get a plait to run right over, once plaited it will be quite short.

Design 2 

For this design I took inspiration from how the hair lines of Elizabethan styles, especially the wigs are shorter at the front and then almost look like rolls which then work into the height on top, I wondered what it would look like if it was tiered over the top of the head in neat crimped rolls.

Design 3.
This design is inspired by the pin curls at the front of the hair on a lot of portraits and the ring shapes that line along the front, I thought with added height into a barrel roll this would look like a crown sat on the front of the hair, especially if the hair was coloured possibly gold.
Then plaiting down the center to seperate the style into two on top, but making the sides meet up and the back creating a semicircle around the head. Again crimped before rolling to add texture.

As I'm limited with hair to use with it being so short and shaved high up I've tried to include some different looks but I feel they are quite similar..

I have chosen the third design to use and give to my partner and I i
