ESTELLA TEST HAIR

Although in most of the interpretations of Estella I have previously researched her hair would have been worn up in a detailed bun I feel it is important to experiment with different styles to represent my character. I created this hair style inspire by the portrait; The letter, by William Maw Egley. 

My model Emma has a natural curl to her hair. Using a large barreled curling wand I was able to replicate the tight barrel curls seen in the painting. Many women would have used rags to created sculptured curls like the ones seen here. I really like the youthful feel to the style, it is much softer and feminine than the up do's I have     previously experimented with.
