Frizzing Hair

Frizzing is a technique that helps to give the hair a lot of texture and volume. This technique would be perfect for an Elizabethan hairstyle as I've seen from many Elizabethan portraits that this hair texture is very popular, for example this portrait below of Elizabeth in 1580 this wave pattern looks similar to brushed out frizzing.

How to create the Frizzing texture

• Firstly start with a section of hair place the hair in between a pin, push the pin to the root of the hair and begin to weave the hair in a figure of 8 around the pin. (The smaller the section of hair the tighter the wave and frizz)

• Once you've weaved all the hair around the pin push a bobby pin through the middle to hold the end of the hair in.
• With your straighteners clamp over this for 10 - 15 seconds and leave to cool.

• Pull out the bobby pin and also the pin, this will leave you with a tight wave.

• With this tight wave you can either leave it like this or lightly brush it out.
• Once brushed out style accordingly.
