Step By Step of my Final Look

need:

clips

fake hair

hairspray and gel

slidy grips and geisha pins

pintail comb

paddle brush

crimpers

step 1: place gown on model. Check hair for skin diseases and any other hygiene issue. brush out all hair with paddle brush.

Step 2: section hair with clips, a equal section on each side and one going down the middle.

 Step 3: with the middle section, leave an inch at the front and two equal sections on each side to crimp.

Step 4: with the remaining section, do a French plait going towards the back of the head, then pin to the head as if making a hold for padding.

Step 5: using the hair piece, pin on top of the plait like padding.

Step 6: crimp the rest of the middle section and pin in place over padding.

Step 7: take a side section, make model lean head to the side and French plait the side until you get to the back section. Pin in place for now.

Step 8: repeat to the other side.

Step 9: with the remaining hair at the back, create a bun.

Step 10: To finish take out the unnecessary hair grips (holding the plaits). Using Hairspray or gel, tame down any fly away strands of hair.

Overall I am happy with my final design, I like how you can understand its connection to the Elizabethan era however it still has a very modern twist. I feel that this look will test my partner on a variety of techniques such as plaiting, padding and puns without being too difficult.
