25th February
As I have decided that for each sin I will be doing both beauty and avant-garde make-up, I thought as the hair will take much longer I should start planning and designing for my avant-garde shoots. I want the hair to be as much of a statement as the makeup, with the addition of different materials and colour, I hope to create not only beautifully applied makeup, but also 7 hair styles that really show my talent as a hair stylist. I don’t have the best knowledge of hair, but as I used to model for Toni&Guy and Saks for many years, I learnt many key secrets about creating different looks and how different brushes/combs can help do this also. So I aim to use all my intelligence about hair and my fine art background to combine and create unique hair designs.

From my first practise of this design, I was pleased with the outcome but learnt many things that I can change for when I practise next in preparation for my final shoot. Such as not spending so much time sectioning the hair as by the end with the finished design, you wont be able to see the individual sections as the hair will be styled as one. Also to make sure all equipment is ready for use, such as to make sure the straighteners heat up as I am still styling the hair to save time as this will help the overall look be quicker in the long term as I will be doing the makeup before hand. One thing that I am going to make sure I practise is to make sure I completely brush out the hair after I back comb and crimp each section, to make sure that I wont end up with the hair still with a crimped effect. Before I mould the hair into style, I want the hair to be thick and versatile for me to mould into shape but to look straight, by having the hair still slightly crimped then this will effect the still at the end when trying to straighten strips to create a webbed look. This is all do-able though so I am confident that the final look will come out well, I am just pleased that I am setting time aside from researching and design the make-up to practice the hair, as after all - practise makes perfect!! (hopefully)
