I reviewed the last time we did my design on my hair and discussed how we could improve it. I changed my design so that it removes some of the hair into plaits which would then be used to create a ‘crown’ shape at the top and also reduced the amount of hair that needed crimping and rolling making the time of the look quicker and the stress on my partner a little bit less.
We began this time by isolating the crown area and creating four small plaits then we proceeded as before to crimp the hair, this time we added a little bit of hairspray before crimping to ensure a nice neat finish and also reducing the amount of fluffiness as the hair stuck together more and retained the texture better.
When we went onto creating the barrel rolls instead of free handing it we tried using the large tong to create the sausage shape for us and this was definitely a better idea, the hair after being on the tong was then the exact shape we wanted it to be and again, from the heat and a little more hairspray the shape held and less hair was able to be missed.
This was also better for my design because the tong ensures all the rolls would be the same diameter and this helped with the symmetry of the final hairstyle.
With minimal effort the rolls could be put into placed and pinned with a lot more ease.
Another struggle that came to light was that my hair is so short on the sides that the outer grips did not have anything to grip to, as we had another two weeks until the final assessment I decided that I would leave the sides to grow out a bit and then this would make sure, even if just slightly, that there was more hair to secure to.
The plaits on the crown were then pinned into place and we managed to criss-cross them over themselves to create the ‘crown’ on top of the head and I think this small addition to the style changed it completely and added something interesting.
We didn’t do it on this occasion but for the final assessment we will use Aqua colour in gold to paint the hair.
