Practising Emily’s Design

      I feel I am more comfortable with make-up than hair, so when I received the hair design I was creating I was nervous.  I knew her design involved a lot of techniques which needed a lot of planning.

      For my first practise I thought I went great considering I was nervous but I still felt like I needed to practise again.  I feel my greatest achievement when creating this design was how quickly I crimped the hair as this was the most time consuming part of the design.

      I was also happy the structure of the hairstyle.  I feel I put all the padding in the right place and pinned it securely.  I had only used padding once before so I was pleased with the result.  It also helps that the hair was crimped because it’s thicker and sturdier.

      For my final assessment the only thing I would do differently is use some thinner padding as the hair didn’t cover all of it at the back.  I would also split the hair more evenly so the thickness looked the same.  I would also make sure I tied the ribbon underneath the plait so you couldn’t see the knot.
