Second practice of Dil's design

Dil and I came back to the studio in the evening to practice each other's hair designs again. Improving on last time and following feedback from Dil, this time I placed the hair rat further forwards in order to create more height. Dil wanted front sections of her hair to be left out while I crimped her whole head, so that they could be crimped using a hair pin (the figure-of-eight technique), creating larger, zigzag waves which could be placed in strips over the mound of hair, making it more textured and interesting. I did this instead of leaving tendrils in front of her ears down, as that did not work very effectively last time. I improvised with a red ribbon as we did not have the ribbon Dil actually wants to use, to give us an idea of how it would look. I thought it added a much more contemporary feel and was pleased with how it finished off the look. 

In further practice I will use a black hair rat which Dil will provide, as I struggled to hide this light brown one under the hair very well. The hair rat will also be a better, more mouldable shape, as this one made it hard to make the hair very rounded. I still need to work at hiding hair pins!

Overall, I am more pleased with how this practice turned out, than I was the practice before. I now have a more complete idea of how the finished outcome will look and myself and Dil feel confident in my abilities to execute it well.
