Practical- Using Padding to Create an Elizabethan Hairstyle

• I used padding to create this heart shaped Elizabethan hairstyle. 
• When I used padding before this, I wasn't confident at all as the padding wouldn't grip properly to the head. 
• However, after this lesson and getting some tips from Helen, I was quite pleased with the way I gripped the hair rat to the hair as it didn't move and was quite sturdy. 
• On this particular day my model did not want her hair to have any heat on it as she freshly cut it.
• Nevertheless I still tried practicing, firstly I created a middle parting and sectioned the hair. 
• I then placed the padding in the places I wanted it to sit, gripped it to the head and rolled the hair over it and pinned it in place.
• As my model had thin and short hair it didn't cover the padding very well although I backcombed her hair. 
• For next time, crimping would be a good technique to give the hair some volume.
• As I was not confident using padding, I think I did a little better using them this time however, I still need practice with them.
