11&12th March
As I have decided that for each sin I will be doing both beauty and avant-garde make-up, I thought as the hair will take much longer I should start planning and designing for my avant-garde shoots. I want the hair to be as much of a statement as the makeup, with the addition of different materials and colour, I hope to create not only beautifully applied makeup, but also 7 hair styles that really show my talent as a hair stylist. I don’t have the best knowledge of hair, but as I used to model for Toni&Guy and Saks for many years, I learnt many key secrets about creating different looks and how different brushes/combs can help do this also. So I aim to use all my intelligence about hair and my fine art background to combine and create unique hair designs.
From my first practise of this design, I was pleased with the outcome but learnt many things that I can change for when I practise next in preparation for my final shoot. Such as not spending so much time sectioning the hair as by the end with the finished design, you wont be able to see the individual sections as the hair will be styled as one. Also to make sure all equipment is ready for use, such as to make sure the straighteners heat up as I am still styling the hair to save time as this will help the overall look be quicker in the long term as I will be doing the makeup before hand. One thing that I am going to make sure I practise is to make sure I completely brush out the hair after I back comb and crimp each section, to make sure that I wont end up with the hair still with a crimped effect. Before I mould the hair into style, I want the hair to be thick and versatile for me to mould into shape but to look straight, by having the hair still slightly crimped then this will effect the still at the end when trying to straighten strips to create a webbed look. This is all do-able though so I am confident that the final look will come out well, I am just pleased that I am setting time aside from researching and design the make-up to practice the hair, as after all - practise makes perfect!! (hopefully)

For this second style I practised, I wanted to
create quite a structured hair design to represent the change of someone’s
mood, to do this I just stuck to something simple as ‘waved hair’ – but in
quite a literal way. My model who I practised on had incredibly thick, long
hair and at first I thought she would be perfect to practise on as she has so
much hair to work with but I soon realised that this became a disadvantage.
Length wise, I wanted the waves to form around the hair line and to be ear
length, to flow at an even level around the hair but as Alisya’s hair was so
long this meant that the waves were larger and sat just on her shoulders.
From this I learnt if I want to do this design
for one of my final shoots, I will need a model who has finer, shorter hair
which will make this design a lot more achievable and to use a finer hairspray.
To create a crisp, defined edge of the wave, I simply sprayed the hair and went
over with my straighteners to really flatten the edge but with the hairspray I
used, (a cheap one from Tesco), the hair became quite sticky and stuck to the
blades. To avoid this I will invest in buying a better quality hairspray to
avoid this, which will also allow me to create more of a defined edge.
