Partner Practising my Final design

Having shown Becky, my hair stylist, the finalised design and my list of directions she cracked on with putting it in to place. I decided that in this practice we would agree on what would be completed in the preparation stage of the assessment and I would highlight any areas that needed working on.


Image shows Becky sectioning the hair and slicking the top  half down to the scalp

Becky's split the bottom section in to two parts and begun crimping the underneath
Becky begins to 'pin-frizz' the top section of hair
We found previously found that the 'pin-frizz' technique is what takes so much time, so we decided that in the preparation stage Becky will crimp the underneath of the hair and pin-frizz half the head so that she can still demonstrate her skills in the timed assessment and complete the look.
Pin frizzing complete and brushed out.

Beckys taken the two sections from the front, plaited them and tucked them in to the decorative piece at the back
I found that my hair isn't long enough for the two plaits to meet at the back of my head and for them to hidden neatly, so I found this decorative clip which could be considered elizabethan as the jewels are very ornate and many portraits from this era featured costumes or hairstyles heavily adorned with expensive jewels. 
Finally Becky applies the pearls to the hairstyle.

Overall really pleased with practice, Becky has picked up the design really well and she seems very confident completing it.
The only few things I mentioned that I would like improving are:
1. Parting needs to be deadly straight
3. To backcomb the hair further on top and below to create greater volume
