1) Once the hair has set and cooled remove all pins from the back and sides and let the hair down
2) Brush the hair gently to let the curls drop slightly and then you can begin the styling
3) Working from one side, around the back of the head until you reach the other side and twist the hair upwards, tucking it in to itself and secure with grips making sure they are hidden
4) You can use your tail comb to assist and to help give it more shape
5) You can then take down the curls at the front and brush them gently like you did the first time and sweep them down the sides so they form a nice wave and you can position the ends in pin curl style curls for decoration. Play around and layer the sections until you are happy.
6) You can use the tail comb to add height and shape at the front of the style too.

Style 2: Glamorous, down style:
1) Remove all grips and pins to let down the Moira hair style and gently brush the hair style out going over and under each section of hair for a full bodied and bouncy waved effect.
2) Push the front sections forward then back away from the face with the brush and keep playing with it until you are happy with the outcome

Style 3: messy
For this look I simply shook the head forward and back until I achieved this messy, crazy and untamed style.

I really enjoyed this lesson, especially creating the first and second style as it is more contemporary than the styles we learnt for Miss Havisham and Estella and had a glamorous and more polished finish. I love adding detailing to hair styles such as the pin curls and as a lover of the Moira character (young and old) in American Horror Story I would have loved to put this together with some make-up to see the finished outcome!
