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.
