Historic
- Colour: ginger/auburn/strawberry-blonde. The portraits show variations of red hair demonstrating the trade of the colour but also the importance and popularity of wigs.
- Texture: structured/curly/set. It seems as those the hairstyles were similar in the way they are held and styled as the curls remain sleek and shaped purposely to reflect Queen Elizabeth's iconic look.
- Shape: tight curls/updo's/rounded/tall. All the women have very high hair-lines following the trend of plucking the front hairs to create a bigger forehead. Most of the imagery visualises the trend of tight ringlets taken up in a either a heart shaped up-do or a rounded style. The hair almost becomes crown-like and symmetrical.
- Decoration: jewels/pearls/crowns. The jewellery is used to show the decadence of the era and reflect royalty.
Modern
- Colour: red/vibrant/orange. These women model an enhanced style influenced by the Elizabethans as their hair is an amplified red. As opposed to the historic images, the hair is more vibrant.
- Texture: volume/fluffy/layered. Instead of tight, ringlet curlys the hairstyles demonstrated above are brushed out curls - making it volumized and intensely layered. The catwalk look incorporates the heart-shaped trend from the Elizabethan era through backcombing.
- Shape: large/wavy/loosely styled. The shapes within Modern Elizabethan styles are much less styled and are more free and messy.
- Decorations: barely any. Either the face will be decorated or a headpiece may be incorporated within the hairstyle.
