My Final Assessment of My Partners Design

These are the final images for my hair assessment. Although I do think I achieved some of the techniques well I do feel this whole look could of been executed better. I think the placement of the padding is too far back which means the front of the hair is not raised enough for it to be visibly Elizabethan. However this does make the hair look more bridal and contemporary. I think if I were to do it again I would use tight padding rather than rats because this give a stronger, more structured padding effect whereas in these images it looks very natural. The techniques this design features are curling, buns, backcombing, plaiting and padding. Layna was great at communicating her design and she definitely adapted the design to my skill level which was very considerate and made the design easier to achieve.

Method

1.   Brush the hair through

4.   French plait the hair where you would like to place your padding.

5.   Pin the padding into that plait so it is secure.

7.   Backcomb at the root and pull back to cover the padding and pin in place.

8.   Tie the remaining hair back into a ponytail and use to create a bun.
