During Queen Elizabeth I's reign the general fashion would involve twists of plaits, braids that were also combined in some styles. Waves and curls were also a trend. They would use marcel irons to curl their hair!
Blonde hair was a much more popular trend over black hair. Black hair just didn't cut it.
The Elizabethans went from put padding in their hair to wired frames as that was a much more hygienic option (even though the hygiene was awful back in those days as they only washed their hair twice a year..lovely!) and they could have more of variety of different shapes with these frames. Wigs were also used if you could afford that luxury.
Height was an important role in the style - they would use wax to hold it in place.
