I really like how the hair gradually progresses throughout the film. It starts off quite natural and free falling that I would imagine to be quite an easy style to create. It then moves on to being put up in a neat way but still quite gentle with a couple of fly aways still in place. This then follows on to a more structured design where the techniques are still quite simple however they have been finished neater and more controlled. As we see the Queens elevation to the throne, we also see the rise in amount of jewelry and accessories in her hair. The very famous heart shape is seen a lot with some kind of braids and curls in the hair. This is then topped off by extravagant crown like pieces in her hair covered in jewels. I really noticed in this film how many hairstyles Queen Elizabeth actually had and how each one was always different to the last but somehow still keeping the Elizabethan traits. It was nice to see how the styles progressed throughout the film as she progressed with her life.
