Third Practice of Partners Design

The Following are images from my 3rd attempt at my Partners design

I crimped the front section of hair

Although crimping is a fairly straightforward task, due to Becky's length and thickness of hair it takes a long time. 

I then sectioned the hair as usual 

Central french plait continuing in to two normal plaits

I created a 'rat' to secure the padding to

I secured the padding to the 'rat'

I folded the bottom section of hair around the padding first

I then wrapped the top section of hair around the padding

Above you can definitely see I've improved with the padding stage, on the sides the hair looks quite neat around the padding.

Back view of the padding

However from the back and from below it's another story. from these angles the padding looks horrendous, these are two aspects I definitely need to pay attention to. 

Front view of the left side padding

 I was really pleased with the way it looked fro the front, I found it to look really well finished.

Side view of the left side padding

Unfortunately the left padding section ended up looking very curved, although i don't think this was really my fault. i suggested to Becky that perhaps some longer padding would work better as currently the padding she supplied wasn't running the length of the section of hair she wanted included. 

 In this attempt I managed to complete the whole design which included creating a bun at the back of the head, this was fairly easy as it just involved twisting the hair and coiling it around itself and securing with pins.

I then wrapped the loose plaits around the bun at the back

Overall I found that this practice did boost my confidence a little and I felt better about completing the design, my main concern however was being able to complete it in the timed assessment period. We decided that in our next practice we would look at timings and making any changed to the design to ensure it could be completed.
