Practicing my design with Lauren.
The first practice sessions went okay I think, I explained my basic ideas to Lauren who would be doing my hair and it gave her time to get used to my hair as well and how she was going to work on it.
We began by crimping my hair and then backcombing it to make it more textured for the design I was thinking of.
As on my design there were a lot of barrel rolls involved this is mainly what we practiced by seeing how tightly we could do them and the easiest way to secure the into my hair which is quite short, it was a little bit fiddly to do but it did work.
We got a better result from crimping smaller sections to begin with and then blending them together with backcombing before rolling into a sausage shapes around the head.
We decided that 6 rolls could be achieved, three on each side at the front which created a nice effect at the hairline and the take these over and around the head before meeting at the crown area and the back of the head.
I liked the overall result and he shape we created but I felt I still needed to add something extra to it as it was still a little bit simple.
We also need to find a way to make the barrel rolls more defined after crimping, retaining the crimped texture but ensuring the least amount of flyaways and a neater result.
This might be through the use of products, using different tools or trying some more techniques.
