Second attempt at partners design

Today was my second attempt at Marianne's design. We decided that this time the bun needed to be a lot higher and a lot bigger- so I did the sectioning differently and then placed the ponytail right on the top of her head. Marianne brought in a new hair rat that was appropriate for her design and this worked really well.

The other part of her design that we wanted to change was that plait- as in her design the hair at the front of the head is scraped back, so we needed to include this hair into the plait that goes over the head. I really struggled with this as i couldnt get my head around all the different sections and couldnt get the plait tight enough so it was really messy. It just stressed me out too much and I knew I wouldn't feel confident doing it this way in the assessment, so me and Marianne came up with an alternative design. Luckily, she has very long hair so I was able to do a regular plait and then wrap it over the head and twist it round in the way she originally wanted, I did the same on the other side of the head. However, these plaits were much smaller than we wanted so tomorrow we are getting together to practice getting the plaits right!Although the plaits were a struggle, Marianne was really pleased with the way I did the bun today.

Here's what I did today-
