Evaluation

Looking back at this project, i have really enjoyed it. Ive liked that i have been able to pick the culture i wanted as it gave me the opportunity to pick something that i personally find interesting and inspiring. Ive also liked how it has given me the chance to be as creative as i have wanted to be, as i don't feel there were many boundaries. Working with wigs and learning about them has given me the skills that i can now take and use in the future, as i would never have felt confident using them, or even really considered using a wig before if i was doing a shoot.
Working with mythic wigs i have definitely found challenging. Having to think of different solutions and techniques to use for my design, where i would normally just use heat on the models hair. Learning how to steam set and even skills i have taught myself to be able to create different textures. The biggest struggle i found was with my extreme wig as i couldn't get the shape and height i wanted without using all the hair from the whole wig, but it would have looked much better if i had folded it and just used the middle section, so that the sides would have been much more slick. My look i was most pleased with was my moderate. I don't feel it looks like a wig, where my extreme you could still see the hairline. Overall though, i feel like my three designs, reflect my story, culture and research as they all have a more contemporary punk feel. I aimed to keep the texture on all of them so they could all be slightly different but still have the same feel to be able to tell my story.
I have really enjoyed learning skills with making wigs and knotting a hairline. I would have really liked to be able to knot the hairline, but i didn't feel i would have had time at the point in the project when we were able too.
Overall, although i wasn't 100% happy with my final outcomes, i have learned from where i went wrong and when i am to use these skills in the future i will be able to confidently. 

Simple images

I was pleased with the outcomes of my simple images. I like the way the way that there is colour in, but its natural and blends with the hair rather than being bright blues and greens etc. Looking at all my images together, i would definitely change the front of this design. I would pull it off the face and not have it down, as i feel they would all flow that little better if i had just clipped up the front section.

Simple

My Simple is the hair down with a slight fringe, and two small buns on the top of the hair. I want the hair to still have some of the texture that the others did, so it shows more of the story, rather than looking completely different i still want it to feel linked to it.

I steamed parts of my wig to get them straighter but just using a hair brush and a steamer, i left other sections so there would still be parts of the wig that had the texture as there is no colour or accessories in this look as its the girl at the beginning of her story.
I then created two small buns on the head.

I was originally going to just use the whole wig and none of my models hair but after creating it and trying it out in practices, i think it would look a lot better and more realistic if i leave the front section of my models hair to disguise the wigs hair line a bit better.

Moderate images

I was a lot more pleased with they way this one turned out. I used a lot thicker section of hair this time to cover the wig and i think it blends a lot nicer. I also crimped the front section of my models hair so it would also in keep with the textures i wanted throughout out. If i could change anything i would change the shape at the front, as from some angles it looks like its coming forward too much.

Moderate.

For my moderate i want to create a quiff at the front, with two braids coming down from either side. I want to add again all the colour and accessories as i feel she would still be at the stage in her life when she would be doing that.

Design- for my wig i folded it this time and just focused on using the middle section of the wig rather than the whole thing. I didn't need to set my wig this week as i need it in the same style as my extreme.
I attached it too my block and and starting creating a quiff. I did this just by back combing. I added in some coloured extensions. This was all the prep i could do this week as the rest of the style would be created using my models hair.

Hammer horror.

• Section the hair, from ear to ear.
• Take the front section and curl that going down either side of the parting. 
• Then take the back section and curl that going to the back of the head to create volume there. 
• The curl the underneath section of the hair, but alternate which way you curl every time so it doesn't look section and blends better together. 
• Brush out the curls, being quite firm and you then create a smooth hammer horror style curl. 
• Back comb the top if it needs it. 

Wig application

·      Grips to be removed or to be hidden to avoid bumps.

·      Prep should represent the style, 1930’s bob, flat on top, pin curls on nape.

·      Create hair chart of your prep.

·      Adapt accordingly to wig style, hair type, quick changes, and security.

·      Avoid shiny grips, match them to the colour of the wig.

Pins, grips or geishas,

For preparation you need to use matte grips. Fine wig pins for edges of the wig.

Wiggly pins to anchor the wig and geishas to apply to thick plaited prep. Avoid bobble ended pins and putting thick pins around the edges.

Prep-

·      Check parting, section front from ears.

·      Section by section wrap hair going in alternative directions. Keep taught and flat.

·      Keep hairline exposed.

·      Hairspray and brush fine hairs back.

·      Use pin tails to tuck in areas when the stocking cap is on.

·      Pull out grips

·      Fine wig pins, horizontally turn flat and push at the bottom.

·      Hold bits that go by the ears

·      Put wig on

·      Wiggly pins at two anchor points underneath the hair. Two at the sides and two at the top.

Fine pins at sides and pull down flat and go up. Then the back.

Extreme images.

After shooting, i was really disappointed in how it came out. I wanted the sides to be more slick, and looking back at the photos now, i didn't pull out enough of my models hair to cover the wigs hairline at the front. I would also change how i created it and only use the middle section, but at the time of creating it i really struggled with doing that. I like the shape of the actual mohawk and the colours and the texture of the hair, i fell it was really let down with the sides, and if i could have had the sides really slick and pulled back it would have really improved the whole look.

Extreme.

For my extreme I'm going to be doing a mohawk. After speaking with seema we came up with two ways to do this using the wig. Either to use the whole wig and create the shape. Or to fold the wig and just create the mohawk with the middle section.

Firstly as i want to create texture in my wig, i set it by twisting the hair and wrapping it around pencils. I then stemmed it and left it for a day or two to dry. When i took it out the hair was set, but it hadn't worked as well as i had wanted.
So i tried a different technique that my friend had told me about it. I took small sections of the wig, twisted them around the pin tail comb, wrapped it in tin foil. Then pressed the straighteners over for a couple of seconds. Then waited for it too cool and unwrapped the hair. It had created a very tight curl, which then when i pulled out had created the texture i was looking for. I did this to several sections of my wig, using different shapes, e.g. some pin tail combs, some around a brush, to give a variety of texture.
I then coloured some hair extensions with hair chalks. I choose to use blue, pink, green and orange. I wanted these to blend in with the wig too, so i wrapped them in tin foil, but folded them up in a zig zag and then clamped the straighteners over. I wanted them to stand out a bit more thats i why i did them in a different shape to the wig.

In creating my mohawk style, i first attempted pulling the hair up into the middle and securing with hair bands, then creating the style with the hair left. As i was doing this though it wasn't giving me the shape and style that i had pictured. I was struggling to get it to be as big as i wanted it too.
I decided to change my method, and i took a section running all the way along the middle and braided  it. I then created padding and gripped that in. I began to wrap the wig hair around covering the padding. I then added in my hair extensions and used the remaining hair to cover them.

Knotting a square piece

Fringe piece.

Today in class we were asked to create a fringe piece out of accessories and different things.

Roller work

·      Place wig on block. Centre line- the nose.

·      (Gloom, cut inot a strip to fit block your working on. Make sure equal amounts. Needs to go in straight. Lace needs to be flat. Make sure you turn up the ear area, Helps secure the wig to block, so you can use more movment.)

·      Wooden rollers can go in wig over, plastic ones cannot.

·      Start rollering at the bottom of the hair and work your way up.

·      Use your pin tail comb to keep tension.

·      Roller needs to sit on a section. No darg. Place pin in.
