During this week we began to create Elizabethan hair shapes using hair rats and rolling them into the hair. Using either curling or crimping to add a texture. We were also given a contemporary Elizabethan image to create.
Firstly i decided to crimp my models hair (see week 6). From here i went on to roll in the hair rat
Equipment used:
Pin tail comb
Sectioning clips
Hair grips
Hair rat (made from tights and wadding)
Headjog 204 metal pinned comb
Large crimpers
Step 1: After crimping the hair i gathered it all into a ponytail on top of the head. I didn't secure this i just held it loosely as i wanted the hair to be relaxed and have a loose contemporary feel. I then used the hair rat and began to roll the hair from the ends around the rat and down until it sat on the head.
Step 2: Holding the rat in place a began to grip it to secure it to the head. To do this you pierce through the tight pull away from the rat and then go under and secure to the head creating a side ways U shape.
Step 3: Continue to pin until all is secure and finally you just manipulate and move the hair to cover all areas of the rat and to ensure you have created your desired shape.
