Demonstration of a hair lacing routine for textured hair: How to be Portrait Perfect!

Fantastic looking and firmly anchored Tudor headwear for women begins with well-dressed hair. We first shared a technique for hair lacing in our book ‘The Tudor Tailor’ back in 2006. Since then, we have honed the technique and learned a lot along the way about styling all sorts of different hair types. Our videos for lacing very long hair, dealing with the challenges of achieving the look with a modern haircut, and styling curly hair can all be found on our YouTube channel (links below). Now, we have enlisted the help of scificheergirl who demonstrates how to dress textured hair. Scificheergirl always looks portrait ready, and her interpretation of the 'Portrait of an African Woman holding a clock' complete with laced hair was stunning.
