Further from this I found a book called 'Ages Of Elegance' the 'ruff' was talked about as being an appearance discreetly found in 1540. Black had been made fashionable in Italy at the time so the white ruff was seen as a great way to liven things up. A ruffled shape was also used at the end of a shirts sleeve for a touch of added detail similar to the ruff. Later on the book explains that in 1557 the ruff was popular and each country had its own individual ruff. e.g. Spain was known to have higher/thicker material at the top of the neck.
I found another book called: 'Historical Wig Styling: Ancient History to the 1830s' By Allison Lowery this book had a great step to step guide on how to style wigs, I looked through and it was really interesting to see all the different techniques used in different periods of time. On page 16 I found a piece about how to pin curl. The guide showed exactly how to get the most effective pin curl without showing grips. In this image they showed how you can use a round stick to create a pin curl. It almost shows how you can use a figure of eight design to get the pin curls to face different ways.
The Royal Doctors, 1485-1714: Medical Personnel at the Tudor and Stuart Courts: (Elizabeth Lane Furdell) Quote from the book: "When Elizabeth began to loose her hear steadily after the age of twenty-five, Hemingway made pomades and salves. His unguents did not stop her hair loss, so she changed her hairstyle in 1644 and wore curls to cover the front of her bald head"
This source was really interesting to read as it shows how Elizabeth and her team tried very hard to come together to make her hair in a better condition but due to dying it with saffron there was no going back and her being so young and her hair falling out left her to have to cover her forehead with curls. I have included curls at the front of my hairline in my design, this is something that relates to the fact that Elizabeth was trying to hide her baldness.
