Crimping Hair

1. Brush through the hair to remove any knots or tangles.
2. Turn crimpers on and leave to heat to approximately 180 degrees c.
3. Using the hair slides secure the hair on top of the head leaving the lowest layer loose.
4. Taking a small/medium section of hair from the bottom layer place the crimpers (ensuring they are hot) at the root of the hair avoiding the scalp
5. Squeeze and hold for 5 seconds.
6. Move the crimpers down the hair ensuring the crimps are evenly spaced.
7. Leave to cool and do not touch as this will soften the crimp.
8. Repeat section by section all over the head until all the hair is crimped.

Frizzing Hair

1. Brush through the hair to remove any knots or tangles. 
2. Turn on the hair straighteners to roughly 180 degrees c.
3. Separate the hair using hair slides so only the bottom layer is visible.
4. Taking an inch wide section of hair wrap the hair in a figure 8 around the pin starting at the root.
5. Secure the end of the hair with a kirby grip. 
6. Taking the straighteners clamp the hair wrapped in the pin and heat thoroughly for 5 seconds.
7. Allow the hair to cool and repeat the same process on the next section of hair.
8. Once a section is cool release by removing the kirby grip and pushing the pin back out from the wave.
9. Separate the wave with fingers and brush through with a soft brush to create frizz. 

Evaluation

Although this method of frizzing the hair was rather fiddly the final result was highly effective as it created a dense amount of hair that was easily manipulatable when used to create padding and height within the hair. The texture of the hair once it had been frizzed using this method was very interesting as it made their hair courser and significantly shorter in length despite having no damaging effects when done correctly. The frizz also help very well and would not be removed unless washed out. The final effect was very pleasing and created a very convincing Elizabethan look
