Elizabethan Hair styles

An Idea of what the Elizabethans may have done:

Elizabethan Hair said a lot about the status of a person at the time. The 'redheads and royalties' of the time would of most likely hair their hair up most of the time plaited and adorned with pearls and hats. Traditional styles can be curled or frizzed at the front but are more frequent than not in the shape of a heart. This was very fashionable at the time as it framed the face and made the forehead look elongated which was a sign of intelligence.

This picture shows some of the things they
may have used to adorn the hair with and shapes they

time.
