Assessment - Practice of Grace's Design (B) (Part 3)

I felt that this was by far the most successful practice of Grace’s design and the whole look was tied together nicely by the addition of the gold pins and hair spray. By using a small barrel curler I was able to create small neat pin curls that laid flat over the top of the head to create an ornate hair design at the front reflective of a crown. Grace had said that she wanted the back of her hair design to have a lot of volume that would be created through a combination of curling and frizzing the hair as well as backcombing the bottom layers to push the hair up. Although Grace has long hair it is not to thick which means I am able to get through the crimping much quicker and also means that the backcombing process is easier. Despite how successful this practice was there are still elements for improvement for the final assessment, the first of which being that the pin curls need to be polished off and any baby hairs removed from the face as they cause too much of a fluffy appearance on camera as you can see in the image (below right). In addition to this bottom section of the hair that is crimped needs to be done on less hair so that the middle frizzed section blends more effectively ingot he rest of the hair. The longer sections of hair that were frizzed created a nice blend however this would need to be done on more hair to create a smoother appearance at the sides.
