Elizabethan and Modern Plats and Buns

Elizabethan:

These two images of unknown Elizabethan women shows both buns and plaits in the hairstyles. These tend to be pulled in very tightly and are quite harsh looking.

Modern:

Here are some more modern plaits:

These images are obviously a lot more modern but also have an Elizabethan style to them. This is probably because all of the hair has been used and although the hair styles are not as tight on the head, they still resemble an Elizabethan hairstyle.

Modern Buns:

These hairstyles incorporate buns but are quite different from the Elizabethan style. They tend to be a lot looser and, as can be seen in the first image, a lot of the time are a lot higher up on the head.
