Marie Antoinette big hair style by Lucie St Clair

Inspired by: Marie Antoinette In (17)90.

The basic look: don't be fooled by appearances: this chignon piled high with curls may have required hours of work in the 18th century, but it's very easy to copy.

With your head down, back comb your hair and then attach the sections to the very top of your head.

To finish, secure all over with grips so that your mountain of hair stays in place.
