Whilst collecting some research on Elizabethan braid and buns hairstyles I came across a website called 'BraidsforMaids', it has lots of interesting braided bun hairstyles for men and women. I felt the hairstyles on this site held a traditional Elizabethan theme and even featured ribbons in the hair similar to the adornments worn in the hair by Elizabethan women. These are a couple of images i found inspiring and thought were good examples of contemporary Elizabethan braids and buns. When I have been collecting research and images of Elizabethan braid and bun hairstyles, I haven't been able to find any non contemporary examples of these two worn hairstyles. Because of this I plan to refer back to some adapted films of Queen Elizabeth in order to find some possible hairstyles worn by women in the films.
