Elizabethan Hair

"Then followeth the trimming and tricking of their heds in laying out their hair to the show, which of force must be curled, frizzled and crisped, laid out on wreathes & borders from one eare to an other. And lest it should fall down, it is under propped with forks, wyres, & I can not tel what, rather like grim stern monsters, than chaste christian matrones."

Around the Elizabethan era the well educated Philip Stubbes distributed pamphlets to the public on his views often criticizing current fashions,these pamphlets now hold a large incite into how the people of the Elizabethan era presented themselves.This quote holds a lot of imagery 'propped with forks, wires' that could be interesting to use literally when designing an Elizabethan hair look furthermore exploring the exaggeration used within the text to create an elaborate hair style.
