Elizabethan Inspiration

I started my research by looking for Elizabethan Hair styles that used plaits as I'd seen many portraits where the hair was plaited in different ways. I found four Pictures from the internet that use some kind of plait. 

This Hair style looks very complicated but I love the use of ribbon through the plait and I also like that they've use different types of plaits for example at the bottom there is a fishtail plait and in the middle they've used a basic plait.

I think this hairstyle is very sweet and innocent as the hair is down, in the Elizabethan era hair that was down showed that a lady wasn't married and portrayed youth. This again has different plaits and actually uses beads or pearls placed inside the plait.

I liked these hairstyles as they all incorporated ribbons and this seemed to be typical thing in Elizabethan times. 

This portrait actually demonstrates an Elizabethan Hairstyle. The hair is parted down the middle which seemed to be very popular in those times, again the use of objects such as beads or pearls placed inside the plaits is shown here.
