Chic
The word chic can also be seen as elegance so I researched elegant hairstyles and most of the images that came up were up-dos or plaits. This seems like a fairly modern idea but if you look at the Elizabethan women, the ones of wealth or power are those who have their hair up in a crafted up-do. TRENDS REPEAT!

This image here shows a woman with all of her tucked up into an intricate net which was something that was very popular during the Elizabethan period.
Modern
When researching the word 'modern' amongst hairstyles I found that most of them where short or at least choppy and obviously cut. Hair during the Elizabethan period seemed to be a big deal and most women had it curly or frizzy like Elizabeth herself but nowadays we have WAY more tools and remedies for our hair. One thing that has always stayed the same is the ability to colour or strip our hair of colour. Elizabeth had ginger hair and so many woman did things to their hair to make it ginger. Nowadays we have hair colour! Something you didn't see a lot of in women was short hairstyles because women would keep their hair up and hidden so they could carry out chores and duties.
