In todays hair session we was shown how to recreate Victorian inspired hairstyles from the hit TV show 'American Horror Story'. Today we was shown Moira, a maid that used to work at the house and was murdered by the pervious owners. Moira's hairstyle embodies aspects of a late Victorian hairstyle.
To create this we used hot rollers over the whole head, using the brick method over the whole back of the head and stacking the rollers on the remaining bits of hair (the front and side sections). After the rollers had cooled down I removed the back section and pinned the very bottom curls up and together to create a lift to the hair, next I started to pin the rest of the hair, following the way the curls wanted to move and exaggerating the design of it and making it look more stylised. Lastly I took down the front rollers and did exactly the same as the back curls by pinning them into more stylised curls on the sides of the head and parting the hair into a middle parting.
When trying to recreate this design I did stumble across some issues. I do not see myself as being good at hair, so trying to get my head around pinning curls in places and learning how the hair moves once you curl it or put it in rollers. However looking at my design now, I can see where I can improve this look but I'm also very happy that I managed to complete this in a somewhat successful way.
