Final hair design

Below is a drawing of my final hair design I chose to do for the timed assessment:

Required equipment: Katy head, pin tail comb, a tong, hairspray, paddle brush, hairband and sectioning clips.

Step-by-Step guide:

1. Brush the hair using a paddle brush to get rid of any knots.

2. You must section the hair into two parts. The first section will be at the front, till about behind the ears. Secure this with a sectioning clip.

3. The remaining hair from the crown downwards can be put into a plait or wrap bun. I chose to do a plait bun. In order to do this, I firstly tied this section of the hair with a hairband and plaited it (a basic plait). I then twisted the plait around in a circular shape. Finally using bobby pins, I tucked in the end of the hair to hold it in place.

4. Moving onto the front section of the hair, I created a centre parting using a pin tail comb. I then spilt each section into three smaller strips of hair.

5. Using a tong, I curled each strip of hair coming towards the face. Note that you shouldn’t curl from the root. The curls should start just above the ear. Now this step is very important as if you curl the hair the wrong way, it will completely change the era.

6. Continue to do this on both sides of the hair.

7. You may want to use hairspray to flatten down the roots of the hair however this is completely optional.

Refection:

I’m quite happy with this design. It took me a while to get here however I think the previous practice sessions helped me a lot in order to make an appropriate decision about my final design. This hairstyle is completely relevant to my chosen era and character. I will be discussing this design with my tutor before the timed assessment.
