Styling Lace Front Wig

The image above (left) is a method of curling hair that required 'no electrical heat'  and using a circlular item,  I curled the synthetic hair  around it and ran it hot water over it before letting it dry naturally. The effect was very disappointing and didn't really do anything therefore I reverted back to  using very low gentle heat  on the hair which worked beautifully. I continued this in layers throughout the wig, applying heat for a range of 10-15 seconds at a time to create some natural softer curls throughout the tighter more defined curls. I also incorporated a rope twist in the hair which was ever popular throughout the shakespearian elizabethan era, but gave a dainty dressed finish to the wig. The front of the wig used a middle parting which was specifically knotted, and a fringe which swept across the face, covering parts of the forehead - a reminder this is a fairy in elizabethan period and not a human who would of shown predominantly the forehead in a historically correct hairstyle. The hairband finishes the piece of bringing the floral element into the project and gave an outcome that I am very proud of.
