First practice of my partners design.
Lauren showed me her design ideas for her hair assessment and I really liked the design.
It was similar to what we’d been doing and it would give me a good chance to use a variety of skills.
She incorporated plaiting for the perimeter and wanted two large structures on top using rats to make a heart shape.
Lauren has very long and very thick hair so I knew there would be some things I would need to do to simplify it for myself and be able to get all the hair into an updo, as this would be heavy and risk falling out.
I began by looking at the plait to begin with which she wanted it to go across the forehead from one side to the other and we decided together that to get a lot of the hair out of the way the plait could be really thick and also we could do a halo plait, which would go from one ear, around the back of the head and meet back the same point. I used a good two inches of hair from the hairline all around to create the plait and as I went along by the time I reached the forehead the plait had the thickness we wanted from all the hair added into it though French plaiting.
I then went onto create the shape on the top of the design which was hard to do because of the length and thickness of the hair, I curled all the hair which took a long time which is why only half the style got completed.
The plan for next time is to use a rat which will reduce the amount of hair to curl and also get it neatly out of the way into a higher structure, this will also help the overall look of the design. I will then only have one section to curl and place over the top as well.
The practice went really well and I really enjoyed creating something from a design, It was interesting to try and work out the best way to go about certain parts.
I feel next time we practice it I'll have a better idea of how to re structure the top and I will practice with rats in the meantime.
