Hair studio- Practical- week 6- crimping...

During this practical we learnt how to crimp hair to add texture and to help us in our Elizabethan design process.

Equipment used:

Large crimper

Pin tail comb

Sectioning clips 

Headjog 204 metal pinned comb

Step 1: Firstly you need to create neat sections of hair in which you are going to crimp and clip back all those bits that arn’t being used.

Step 2: Once the crimpers have been heated to the correct temperature (see week 1)  you take a section and start at the root getting as close to the scalp as you can without burning the model, you can always put a comb between the scalp and the tool your using. You hold for around 10 seconds and then release and continue this process down the section of hair to the bottom until complete.

Only if you want to make the hair bigger and more manipulable:

Step 3: Once you have crimped all the sections of hair you have desired you get the 3 pronged metal comb and begin to comb out the crimp, some bits you can do more than others and you can also back comb sections of the hair also, this creates lots of volume and makes the hair big, the more you comb the bigger it gets
