First Practice at Partners Design

Becky's illustrated design

Because Becky's design featured so many elements I had to first divide the hair in to several sections 

It did take a a while for me to get used to Becky's hair as it is incredibly long and thick, unlike any I've ever worked on before.

Becky's Design featured 5 visible plaits, two of which can be seen beneath the padding on the side of her head

Possible the most prominent aspect of Beckys design is the french plait down the centre of the head, diving the two sections of padding. Beckys also intends for these to be sprayed with colour hair spray to modernise her look.

Because of becky's long hair i found my conventional plaiting wasn't as good as it usually is, I think ill get used to this over time though.

In this first practice I was initially overwhelmed with both the length of Becky's hair and the complexity of her design. Due to the limited space of time we had and the fact that Becky was taking me through the process step by step we only completed about a third of the design. I feel that through practice and determination I will feel more confident with the design and working with Becky's long hair and thus will speed up.
