Final Design

Though my intent was to choose my third design as my final design. I encountered too many flaws during the experimenting period and I realised the style wasn’t achievable in the time frame. Therefore, I adapted the style slightly to make it more accessible.

To create my final design, the whole head is curled using curling tongs and then sectioned into 3 parts. The front section ends behind the ears and then the remaining hair is separated horizontally into even parts. The middle section is wrapped forwards over a rat and secured with hair grips. The ends of the back section are styled upwards, over the rat and pinned under the rat leaving a band of curled ends. The front section is then bought around the sides and secured beneath the rat with a few loose strands. Finally, a length of red ribbon is tied as a band in front of the curls and styled into a bow on the left hand side of the head. The entire look is fixed with hairspray.

To save time, I will curl my hair in advance and fix the curls with hairspray. In order to carry out the design, ribbon and orange hairspray are required which I’ve already sourced from a local fancy dress shop.
