Today we swapped hair designs with our partner. Marianne's design was a huge almost beehive shape and then a plait draping over the centre of the head. Doing this showed me just how important sectioning is!! I struggled to get started until I had perfect sections, especially with where the plait was placed. After sectioning, I began with the plait with I initially struggles with as i had never done a plait bends round the head. After doing the plait, we both realised that in her design the hair is scraped back underneath the plait and I had left the front section of hair out of the plait. Marianne hadn't tried this design before so neither of us knew how to fix it. I ended up sweeping the hair round and tucking it behind her ear, joining it into the bun. Lottie gave me advice on how to include the front section of hair into the bun for next time.
After the plait was done, I moved onto the bun. I crimped the hair and then backcombed using an afro comb, this made the hair a lot bigger with less work. It gave more of a fashion effect which is what Marianne wanted. We didn't use a hair rat to mold the hair around as we didn't have one big enough! Marianne's hair is long enough to create a big bun anyway. However, Marianne s going to bring in a hair rat for our next lesson as she didn't think the bun was big enough. I then pinned the hair back onto the head and then draped it over. I left a small amount of hair out at the bottom of the plait and then wrapped it around a hair pin and put heat on it to create a zig-zag effect.
Although it could have been neater, I am happy with my first go at this design!
