Elizabethan Buns

Elizabethan Buns 

[1]

Here is a portrait I have found that incorporates a bun into the hair, the texture of the hair looks crimped or tightly curled. The hair is pulled back tightly and into a bun at the back with a chain with diamonds added into it, this is the best image I could find of an Elizabethan bun hairstyle. 

Contemporary Elizabethan Bun

Here I have found a modern day bun which has the similarities to an Elizabethan hairstyle. With the hair adornments and weaving of the hair. I love the weaved hair as it is quite different to anything I have seen and reminds me of a bridal hair. It is absolutely stunning like a jewel type net.
