In today's lesson we got shown how to create crimped, fizzed sections of hair also wet and volume pin curls. I loved the texture you could achieve with such a simple technique using the geisha pins to twist the hair around in small figures of eight then using heat on them before leaving to cool.Furthermore how you can then manipulate the hair into large structures easily. This idea i would love to incorporate into one of my ideas such as the front of my large plaited structure, using this as the basis for the hair texture and structuring the hair as shown in my deign into a more geometric shape for the fringe.
We also began testing out how we would actually achieve our looks onto our models i began looking at one of my favorite looks and how i could plait the hair into a similar structure shown in my planning images i began using french plaits around the head but found that the exposed scalp looked more harsh and tight i wanted the plaits to look layered i then began plaiting the sections of hair and twisting them into a circular shape around the head as seen above. When talking to Seema she created a similar look when working she used an Alice band and used hair extension sticking on the sections individually building up this structure as seen in her image below. I would like to experiment using this technique to create the larger structure but as for creating the design for the back of the hair this technique could work quite well if hiding the pins.
When working on the plaited hair i found the outcome was reminiscent of Afro Caribbean ladies hair with all the corn rows also finding also similarities within the styling in Seema's image. I find there hair styling very inspirational using similar techniques as the Elizabethans but in more of a experimental and fun way.
