Creating Waves in the Hair

Creating Waves in the hair

Equipment needed:

-Dry shampoo

-Pintail comb

-Tongs

-Grips

-Pins

-Clips

-Hairspray

-Paddle Brush

Instructions:

-Create a French Pleat in the hair, leaving the front section out.

-Part the front section of the hair in the middle

-Using your tongs, start to curl about 1.5cm sections of hair in even sections vertically down the head.

-Secure each curl with a hair grip as you go, so that the curl sets better.

-Once all the hair is in place and cooled and set (If possible, leave to set whilst makeup is being done etc), remove the grips, and gently brush out using a paddle brush or wide tooth comb.

-Using your fingers, twist the ends so that the hair all curls into the same direction.

Creating Silhouettes

Creating Silhouettes

We were given the task of creating an interesting silhouette that included a French Pleat at the back, wadding at the front, and included Victorian elements.

Following the steps in the previous look, I created my Victorian hairstyle. I then pinned a rose to the front of the hair, as this was very Victorian thing to do.

Here are the images I created:

Creating Shapes with Victorian Influence

Creating Shapes with Victorian Influence:

Equipment needed:

-Dry shampoo

-Pintail comb

-Tongs

-Grips

-Pins

-Clips

-Hairspray

-Wadding

Instructions:

-Section off the front of the hair from ear to ear

-Follow previous instructions to create a French Pleat on the rest of the hair

-Backcomb the front of the hair to create volume, but make sure you only backcomb the back of the section (not the side that will be visible).

-Roll the backcombed section around a piece of wadding (a size appropriate to the amount of hair you are working with), and secure with hair pins.

-Ensure that the front section blends in to the back, where you have created the French Pleat, and use grips and pins to adjust the shape accordingly.

-Using a pintail comb, pull out two sections of hair by each ear, and using your tongs, curl each piece as a finish to the hairstyle.

-Finish with hairspray to set the style.
