Second Estella Hair Design

Products & Equipment:

·        Brush set

·        Hair grips & ties

·        Donut shaped hair pad

·        Hair mousse

·        Hair spray

Method:

-     Begin by brushing through the hair and creating a middle parting with a pin tail comb

-     Run a generous amount of hair mousse through the top of the hair and brush the hair directed towards the nape of the neck, keeping the hair as smooth and tight to the scalp as possible however have the hair come down partially over the face, covering the model’s ears

-     Keeping the hair taught, gather towards the base of the head and secure as a pony tail with a hair tie

-     Slide the hair through the donut pad

-     Have the hair in the pony tail fold back on itself to disguise the padding, securing with hair grips placed inwards, beneath the donut

-     With the excess hair, gather and braid in a plait to wind around the break between the donut and the scalp

-     Secure the plait with a hair grip before fixing the whole style with hairspray

Evaluation:

Though my inspiration for this look was taken from a selection of Victorian hairstyles, the overall look isn’t particularly period and could quite easily suit a modern day trend. It’s a straightforward design that’s easy to achieve and doesn’t require many skills that I’ve learnt especially for this project.
