Contemporary Victorian Gothic Hair styles- inspired by American horror

For my project, I am looking at AHS: Asylum, which is set in the late 50's early 60s.

So instead of adapting a victorian hairstyle, I decided to create one suitable for my tv series.

 Both these images of the character from the show feature a volumes bouffant style that appears to be backcombed at the roots and left to curl at the ends. 

I wanted to create very fun, bouncy waves as the base for this style. So i put heated rollers in to the hair symmetrically across the head with the hair curled upwards everywhere apart from at the parting. 

 Once the rollers has cooled, I removed them and brushed through the hair. I then backcombed all over at the roots, being gently at the front of the head as these needed to remain smoother.

 I then brush the hair lightly backwards spraying to maintain the shape and using the brush to smooth the top layer of hair.

Really pleased with the final result, love the volume it created. The ends look a little scraggly - so if i recreate this look i will pay more attention to the ends of the hair.
