Miss Havisham - Hair Practise

Health & Safety:
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap before touching the models skin or hair.
Remember to conduct a client consultation to highlight any allergies or contraindications.
Place an apron around the model to prevent any damage or stains to their clothes.

Products Used:
Sectioning Tail Comb
Paddle Brush
Curling Tongs
Kirby Clips
Sectioning Grips

Process of Creation:

1. Begin by carefully brushing through the hair with a paddle brush to remove any tangles.

2. using the sectioning clips, separate the hair into small sections that will make it easier to curl (recommend splitting the hair into a bottom, middle and top layer to ensure all the hair is curled and making it easier).

3. Using the curling tongs, curl the hair section by section until the whole head of hair is complete.

4. Leaving two small curls loose at the front of the hair, take a small section of hair at the front of the head near the temple on either side and pull them towards the back of the head and loosely secure them with kirby grips.

5. Pull out small strands of hair from whats pinned back using the sectioning tail comb to make the hair look messier, as well as this use the comb to backcomb the curls so the hair looks bigger, messier and less perfect.

6. Finish of by applying dry shampoo all over the top of the head and some on the curls so the hair looks like its covered in dust.

Evaluation:

Overall I was satisfied with the outcome of my 'Miss Havisham' hair practise and the final result was exactly what I wanted. However one of the main issues I faced with this is that when I practised the hair I also practised the makeup look too and wanted to practise doing it within the allotted 2 hours we have for the assessment. Before the practise I didn't think the hair would take me very long as my model has quite short hair so I spent more time on perfecting the details of the makeup, however I didn't realise that although the hair was quite short it was very thick, meaning I needed to section off the hair more and it would take longer to curl.

Therefore I am going to have another practise outside of studio time and try and complete the whole look in the time we have otherwise I will struggle with timing in the assessment. The only other issue I had in the practise, which was minor but annoying, was that there wasn't enough dry shampoo to go round so I ended up not using any so couldn't see what the final style looked like with the dusty hair as well. However I'll be practising again before the assessment so will be able to see then as I'm going to buy my own supply of dry shampoo for the assessment to make sure I definitely have enough.
