Equipment:

Hairdryer 

Straighteners 

Hair Ties

Products:

Hair Spray 

Mouse 

Serum 

Sleek Pony Tail

Step 1:  Spray Hair With water so hair is damp and apply serum to section. Taking the paddle brush and a clean small section starting from the bottom of the head working your way up. Point the hairdryer (with nossel on)  flat to the hair this allows the air to blow straight across down the section to give a smooth sleek finish, work from the root to ends. Decide on the parting, in this class we did a sleek pull back style so at the front, we blow dried in this direction. 

Step 2: If the hair needs it you can then run over it with the straighteners making sure again you take clean small sections straightening from the root using the comb to help to ends. 

Step 3: Pull the hair back into a tight sleek pony tail, using a little mouse on the comb if this helps to pull back the style and tie into place making sure there is no bumps. Finish with hairspray. 

Week 5: Natural Beauty Hair (Beach Hair)

In this lesson we learnt how to create beach waves and how styling the hair in looks previously taught can change the overall style of the look with a beach finish.

Equipment:

Beach Waves

Step 1: Taking the model straight from the basin, mouse the hair all over using a scrunching motion. Taking the hair dryer lift blow dry the roots, spray salt spray through the hair to give a rougher texture if needed.

Step 2: Taking the hairdryer with the diffuser, if you don't have asses to a diffuser use hand like a claw and grab the hair. Place hair into the diffuser to gain the beach texture, if hair is stubborn give it a scrunch.

Step 3: Ask your model to tip there head forward to do the top sections, tucking the hair into the diffuser as you go.

Using this messy texture we now created our previous styles and saw the effect this had on them i created the plaits and found that the messy texture gave the look a more relaxed beach style.

Week 4: Plaiting For Fashion

Looking at plaits in fashion, different styles and techniques also how to make a plait or any hair style look messy/fly aways used a lot in editorial fashion.

Equipment:

Clips 

Sliver Long Clips

1- Wiggle Plait

Plait the hair as normal take one strand of the three strand plait and push up the other two strands to gather the hair. Tie into place or pin depending on the style.

2- Waterfall Plait 

The model will have to help with this plait to hold the strands in place to keep the style very neat. 

French plait (plait, plait) then drop the underneath strand get the model to hold this strand and (plait, plait) again. Repeat this plait off to secure it. 

If you want to do this style from each side of the head, then join in the middle. 

3- Ladder Plait 

After you have completed the waterfall plait this is the start to the ladder plait, using the french plait technique pick up the dropped strands and include these into the plait but only these. 

4- Slip Tie Knot 

These plait you'll have to get your model to help hold the strands, separate the section into two and knot, place in between the models ring finger and middle finger. Do this to one more section again placing in your models fingers. 

Section the hair again and bring in the front knotted section into the section and knot then move up the hair placed in the fingers and repeat. 

To finish you can either carry on knotting or plait and tuck under and pin.

5- Five Strand Knot 

Taking five sections, bring the right hand side furthest section over under and stop, repeat this on the other side, over under stop and repeat over again.

 6- Duch Braid
Using the french plait tenchnique plait underneath.

Week 3: Accessorise Hair

Looking at the use of accessorise in the hair also creating a basic Chignon style this style is very versatile and can be used for weddings on large parties can either be used on young girls or older women easterly be adaptable to more complex style using plaits or pin curls.

Low Chignon
Step 1:  Section hair in to desired parting (side,middle) and section from behind the ears and clip out of the way. taking the back section and either adding lift to the top section or leaving flat to the head brush hair into tight low pony tail and tie into place.

Step 2: Back comb this pony tail and bring over into a curve and pin into place at each side. Using a bun pin manipulate the hair round to back of the head and bun pin at each side and at the top if necessary. Using your hands apply hair spray to them and stroke down any fly away hairs to give a clean finish.

Step 3: Taking the front sections either twist around to the back or plait and adjust upon desired look pinning into place.

Tip- if the hair is very heavy or thick using a hair net tuck hair in this will hold the shape and in images will not be visible.

We used accessorise to create different looks with the style. my favourite look was using the jewellery down the centre parting this was simple but effective with the parting and twists.

Week 2: 1960's Hair

Understanding the different elements that create hair era’s, small elements that create the signature style, executed perfectly.

1970’s- Centre parting (festival Hair)

1960’s- same principles different elements

1950’s- male and female hairstyles, Marilyn/Elvis- teddy boy styles- similar to the Victorian, well groomed.

1960’s Lift & Height!- previous to curling you would have bow dried the models hair to give the lift and bounce. 

Equipment:

Tongs

Pintail comb

Section clips

Pins

Products:

Dry shampoo

Hairspray

Step 1: 

Section the front from behind the models hair, section into a side parting. From the top of the crown central section a strip of hair not too thick. Leave a similar size section to come over and cover it to create a clean finished look.

Step 2: 

Using the dry shampoo to make the hair tacky, to gain the volume, use the tong curling away from the head and slide a grip in place, make sure your not using grips with teeth as this will pull out the curl when the clip is removed.

Step 3: 

Curling down from the top of the head directly underneath one another to the bump in the centre back of the head.

At the sides create a triangle section and curl back carrying on down.

Week 1: Blow drying/Volume Hair

Equipment:

Hairdryer

Ceramic rounded brush- vent brush holes all the way through brush doesn’t get to hot.

Demin brush- more advanced

Product:

Mouse

Water spray

Route boost

Serum/wax/putty

Spray shine- coloured dull hair to finish

When blow drying the last 10% of wetness gives the structure to the hair, if the models hair is completely wet give a rough dry to reduced the wetness to the last 10% then apply the product this further doesn’t dilute the product unlike if it were to be applied onto very wet hair.

Step 1:

Create a very clean straight section that’s not to thick this is important when dong a blow dry. If on dry hair apply water a mouse to the route. Make sure you have decided on the parting previously to starting the blow dry.

Step 2:

High heat and High power, put the brush directly under the section at the route to create tension the hair should not be slack! Face the hair dryer under the section and over keeping the hair and hair dryer high. Never letting go of the hairdryer use it to catch under the section to re place your brush. Once route is dry style the rest of the section to desired look pulling the hair with the brush.

Step 3:

To check section is dry gently pinch section at route if hot its fine if cold needs to dry some more. Don’t touch the section until cool at the end you can blend in the sections to one another and style.

I found that once i got the rhythm of the moment i became very confident with the technique although i did have a model with short hair i feel i need to practice this on a long haired model.
