I have been researching victorian hairstyles for my Miss Havisham character and came across the Pompadour which was a popular hairstyle for a Gibson Girl. I thought it would be a simple style to do and quite easy to adjust to make it a messy and decayed look. The image below is where i found inspiration from.
My first attempt wasnt so succesful as it didnt flow so the next time i made a clean parting from one ear to the other and made and another from underneath the ears and used the middle section to make a high ponytail on the head.
I then backcombed the remaining hair and bit by bit added it to the middle and secured with grips, sure enough what i ended up with was a bundle of messy hair on top of the head but it was easy to play around with it to create this messy bun shape. Im happy with the style and think with a few accessories it could look really interesting.
