Today marked my formative assessment where I was required to re-create a hairstyle seen on the catwalk the look I chose to re-create came from Tanya Taylor catwalk look.
To start this look I created a middle parting in my models hair as this is what was presented in Taylor's look. I was required to use an electrical appliance for my assessment. I used straighteners as the hair in the look was very smooth and sleek. To straighten the hair I took it a section at a time as my models natural hair contained quite a lot of texture.
I then worked on creating the plaits. This was not very successful as I started my plaits too high. I also but sectioning clips in the hair where I could see them on the visuals I had. My teacher then informed me that this was just a backstage photo and not what would have been used in the show. I should have realised this. What I should have done is removed the sectioning clips and secured the plaits with some back combing. Starting the plaits lower would have also given some lift that was needed at the roots and back of the hair.
I am very disappointed with the look that I created. Unfortunately I did not get a photo of this look so I recreated it on myself at home using the same time constraints.
This time the look was much more successful due to the fact that I took my feedback from the lesson into consideration and I was working on my own hair which had just been washed and is longer than my models.
