3 Final Design Ideas

Here are my three final design ideas for my assessment! 

 

I've decided to use this last design as my final design for my partner, the reason being that it incorporates all the techniques that I learnt in class for an Elizabethan styled hairstyle and gives me room to be creative. Ive decided to use lace with pearls along the parting of the separate plaits as in our practices we both found that because I have micro ring extensions it made it harder to create an even parting. So to add some creativity the lace and pearls adds an Elizabethan element whereas the plaits and hairstyle are quite contemporary. The difficulties my assessment partner may face would be th fact that I have micro ring extensions as you are able to see them once the hair is plaited but this could add to to design in some way. The ends of the hair were going to be frizzed using the 'figure of eight' technique but as the plaiting is going to take some time I decided to use the crimping technique and backcomb them to get a full effect. As you can see in my initial design idea I thought about adding pearl twists to the design to disguise my micro rings but as I'm using the lace I think it may look a little too much so I've decided to leave it. 

In the pictures that sywlia took you can. see that at first we tried frizzing the front and then pinning it back on the head in a quiff like shape which seemed to work well so we've decided to do this for my final design. You can see that my micro rings are clearly visable but we plan on moving the plaits around a bit to disguise them.
