Contemporary Victorian hair styles, inspired by American Horror

What you need:

  • Hair Brush
  • Tail comb
  • Curling iron
  • Kirby pins
  • U pins
  • Hair spray (optional)
How to  :



  • Start with the side parting on the top of the head
  • Devide the hair into the front and back sections
  • On the top of the head , create 3 curls towards one side and one towards the other one, on the other side of the parting. When curling it pull the hair up and roll it with the hair tong nice and tight. When removing the tong, turn it slightly to the other side and remove it slowly.
  • By the ears, you can create either 1 or 2 curls towards the face
  • The part of the hair you have left behind, curl it in in horizontal way (brick layers). Secure them with hair pins
Hairstyle 1:

  • Take all the hair pins from the curls
  • Leave the 3 curls from the top of the head for modeling the hairstyle
  • Use the hair brush for not pulling out the curls. Carefully brush the top part of the hair. It helps to bring the hair together and also makes the hair to look with more volume 
  • Take a piece of hair on the side and roll the hair. Secure the front part of the hair with kirby pins and use the U hair pins to secure the back part (lift the pin up and bring down)
  • Arrange the 3 curlsin the way you like






Hairstyle 2:
  •  Remove all the kirby pins from the hair
  • Use the brush and take a section of hair into your hands. Bring the brush underneath and over the top so to create a nice wave shape. For the front part of the hair





Hairstyle 3:
  • To create this hairstyle, after you have brushed through the hair, like in the hairstyle 2, shake the head and...it's done! You can use the wide tooth comb to lift up the hair at the front a bit

Late Victorian Hair

Late Victorian hairstyle are quiet different from the Early Victorian hairstyles. The curls from the ear sides are all gathered at the back. The hairstyles look more sofisticated, quiet bridal even. More curls are seen at the back side of the head and the curls are also that are loosen behind.
  Tools:

  • Hair brush
  • Tail comb
  • Hair pins
  • Hot curling iron
  • Hair band
How to:

  • Start with parting the hair in the middle.
  • Section the front part  a tiny bit narrower than in early Victorian Hairstyles. Pin them with hair pins
  • Take a small part of the bacl hair and make it a ponytail.
  • Take smaller sections of the ponytail and curl them with the hor curling iron
  • Make a bun, but making kind of little twists in order that it won't have a perfect round bun.
  • The whole back sections you have left, separate them in smaller sections and curl them in vertical way to create those tipical Victorian ringlets
  • You need to ad those curls to the back and even to the bun.
  • You can also separate those curls you've created. 
  • You will create a kind of cascade at the back that goest all the way down.
  • In front, with the hair you've cliped before, separate it in more sections and curl them towards the out side.
  • The section near the ear separate them in two or more vertical sectionn and curl them in vertical way.
  • Star with the bottom and pin them behind toward the bun and leave the curl out. (you can hide the pins in this way and it it the part of the hairstyle that gives you the opportunity to be creative with some fake flowers or something)
  • With the other curls do the thame giving just a bit of volume making them soft .

Miss Havisham- continuity image

For my Miss Havisham's continuity image, I tried to create exactly the same look as I did during the firstpart of the assessment, but as I expected it wasn't Exactly the same. There are some small details that make it look different from the previous look.
    Here are the looks (first part and the second one) :



Part 1:


Part 2:



One of the obvious mistakes is the skin base which in the second part is a little bit lighter than in the first one. Anothe mistake is the smudged lips. It is really difficult to create the  same kind of smudgung in exactly the same place with the exacly the same shape. Also, i can notice some difference in the dry skin on the cheek-bone. I exagerated with the red colour in the second part of the assessment, because in the first part is much more skin coloured while in the second part is a bit more red.
    Apart from all these mistakes, I am happy with the work I've done.
