Technical - Rick-Racking technique!

A new technique that I'd seen before and never tried was I believe called Rick-Racking which involves weaving the hair over a pin in a figure of eight and applying heat to create a frizzing effect.

I liked this effect because I think it made a better frizz than the crimping although harder to achieve and more time consuming.
It's a good technique and after a few you get the hang of it relatively quickly you can also change the frizz with this one though, whether you wrap the hair tighter or looser and the size of your pins will make the frizz looser or tighter.

I did this just on the front section of my Katie head to test the technique, I found only a small amount was needed to add to the overall look. I crimped, backcombed and put up the rest of the hair and I used the very fine rick-racking from the front section to lay over the top and enhance the texture further. I don't think doing this all over is necessary if it is only a top layer of a hairstyle.
This technique did leave around half an inch at the hairline that wasn't frizzy, I think its easier to get closer with the crimpers.
For time management I think I will use the crimpers in my design if needed because I think it's just easier and quicker to create the effect. If I did use this I would only do it on specific areas of hair.

I looked one of Oscar De La Renta's photoshoots which incorporated rick-racking, it was interesting to see how this was used in modern fashion and in popular culture on a runway.

Finished result of Rick-racking, as you can see this was used all over the head and creates a very soft fine frizz effect whilst the roots remain straight.
