In preparation for my estella exam one of the things that helped me was learning mid- late victorian hair styles.

 I found whilst learning this the sectioning was kind of similar to the early victorian hairstyles in some senses you still had to have an evenly pin tailed central parting for the style I wanted to re-create.

for this look I pre-curled my extensions 

1.To start I sectioned the back half of her hair into a pony tail simply to keep it out of the way whilst I sectioned the front half.

2. In the front half I need a triangle section in the middle and two side sections. To do this i used my pintail comb and found the middle of her face by following it up from her nose. then in a straight diagonal line i followed this to the line sectioning the front and back of the head on both sides.

3. then I moved onto the back of the hair. I sectioned a small layer from the nape of the head and curled four individual curls. 

4. I then took that layer back combed the roots

5.i then got a layer of my (pre curled) extensions and clipped them into the back comb of this layer.

6. I repeated this process of taking a thin layer, creating four - 5 curls, back combing the roots, and attaching the extensions through all of the back of the head of hair.

7. I then took the two side sections and combed them away from the face trying to be neat 

8. I pinned these sections behind the ears too keep of the face 

9. I curled the ends of these sections so any longer layers blend with the back of the head of hair.  

10. with the middle section I wanted a smooth finish with a small amount of hight, to do this I combed it back and then pushed forward a little and pinned

11. I then secured all I have done with some hair spray.

12.I finished this look with  red feathers and a bunch of fake off white flowers and simply pushed them into the depth of the curls, some stayed on there own and those that didn't I used pins to keep in place.
