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.
