Crimping - Beyonce

Beyonce Hair Design

Equipment

·         Crimpers

·         Hair brush

·         Tail comb

·         Section clips

·         Pre made padding

·         Bobby pins

Method

1.      Firstly, brush the hair so all the knots are out and section the hair with a tail comb and section clips ready for crimping.

2.      Plug the crimpers in making sure the wire is neat and out of the way and wait a few minutes for them to warm up.

3.      Then, take a small section of hair and hold the crimpers on it for 5 seconds.  Repeat this down the whole section of hair.  Repeat this until the whole head is crimped.  When you get to the top section crimp the hair vertically so you can get right to the root.

4.      Using the tail comb, section off a top, front part of the hair and roll the padding into it.  Use the bobby pins to secure it into place.

5.      As I couldn’t see the back of the image, I improvised with the rest of the hair.  I gathered it all at the back and rolled it up into itself.  I then used more bobby pins to pin it in place.  As I improvised I thought the design looked really cool.

I really enjoyed copying a design and adapting it into the way I would style it.  Therefore I feel I did quite good at this task and was really happy with my end result.  However, if I was to do this again, I would make sure I had completely covered the padding.
