Final Evaluation

I have really enjoyed the ‘redheads and royalty’ project. I found it really interesting learning about all the different hairstyles and what influenced them. Something I particularly found interesting was the different hair accessories they had in the Elizabethan era, nowadays we don’t really use or have as interesting hair accessories so it was really interesting to learn about where they came from and what some of them stood for. I felt that I learnt some really interesting techniques that we could all incorporate in our final designs, one of my favourite things to learn about was the wiggle plait.

One thing I think I would have liked to do better would may be doing some more research into different hair designs that could influence my final hair design, looking at different Elizabethan portraits and seeing how I could use these hairstyles and incorporate them into my final hair design. I also really enjoyed doing all my work on the blog, it is a really enjoyable way to work when it is normally a not so fun thing to do. It will be beneficial as I can look back in the future at how to achieve different hair techniques and will be an easy way to look as it’s just on the internet.

In conclusion I think that I have really liked this hair brief, I felt that I learnt some really interesting techniques that I could take into the industry and also learnt some history as well. 

My Hair design

This is my final hair design my partner did on me, I feel that she completed the look and that it is true to its design. Because I have long hair I think my partner did well to put all the hair up and in the plaits at the back. On my actual design one of the plaits that went across the head was a 'dutch plait' but unfortunately my partner couldn't do this so I had to slightly change my design, but I think it still looks just as good. 

Hair Assessment!

For the past couple of weeks we have been completing our timed assessments for our hair and makeup designs. We were given partners and one lesson someone was the design/ model and the other would be the artist and the next we would swap around. I think my assessment went well, I feel that I followed my partners hair design and that I completed the contemporary hairstyle.
I feel that my partner and I worked well together, we both practised our hair designs a few times and I feel like I completed her hair design well. Before I did the actual assessment I practised the look a few times to make sure I could get it done in the time for the assessment and also make sure I achive her hair design, the images of my practised look are below.
