My Final Hair Design

This is how my final design turned out during my partners final assessment. Im really pleased with the way my partner was able to relay the design chart and instructions I gave her. 
The design was a heart shaped front coming into a bun at the back, leaving cured tendrils loose and accessorising the bun. This design uses a lot of traditional elements but updates them and makes them more contemporary by having a loose, relaxed feel about it. All my previous designs feature padding and so I knew I wanted to use that in my final design. 
I asked Layna to use a medium barrelled curler on the bottom layer of hair that was left out as tendrils as this helps update the look since its a lot larger of a curl that that seen in the Elizabethan era. This look involves techniques such as padding, curling, plaiting, bun and accessorising. Im really happy with what Layna produced. she was able to complete the design in the time given to a great standard. I will make my next design more complex as both me and my partner are now more advanced in hair and more complex designs will be achievable.




 

Needed

· Paddle brush

· Tail comb

· Large curler

· Small curler

·Padding

·Hair tie

·Bracelet

·Pins

Method

1.   Section off the front section of the hair in two. Make one of the sections bigger than the other as one needs to cover the padding and the other is to curl and lay over the padding as decoration.

2.   Create your plait to attach your padding to. French plait from one side of the head to the other and pin down.

3.   Attach padding to the plait

4.   Backcomb the middle section of the hair at the root and pull backwards to cover the padding.

5.   Tuck the hair under and secure with pins.

6.   Curl the front section we left out with a small curler and place the curls over the padding to create ringlets going back over the head. Pin down.

7.   Take the top two thirds of the remaining hair at the back of the head and create a bun

8.   Take a small piece of the remaining hair and plait it. Wrap this around the base of the bun to conceal the hair tie.

9.   Curl the remaining hair with a large curler and leave loose.

10.                 Attach the bracelet to the top of the bun and secure with pins.
