Technical File: Fashion/Catwalk Design

During this session we got to decide in pairs whether to design a contemporary hairstyle for either a wedding or a catwalk show that had Elizabethan elements. I decided to do the catwalk design. I wanted to do something that as quite big and dramatic so I crimped all of my partners hair using crimpers.

I then backcombed the hair at the front and pinned it in place to create a big heart shape. This worked well with her hair as it's black and red and added to the heart effect.

I decided to leave the rest of the hair down but backcombed a little bit and then backcombed the front of the hair more to give a messy effect. I really liked the outcome and would like to try it out again but make the front of the hair bigger. This is something that I would like to incorporate into my final hair design.
