Hair practical week 3.

Hair practical. Buns and Plaits.

Week 3.

Equipment- 

• Hair brush 
• Curby grip 
• Hair pins 
• Hair band.

Buns: 

• Brush hair and put hair up in a pony tail. (If someone has long thick hair then you can put it up in two sections. First the top then the bottom as you will have more control in smaller section.) Remember your in control of the hair with the way you hold it and the tension you have.
• Double band the hair if its thick and heavy as if will slide down if not secure. 
• Section hair in ponytail into for sections. 
• Start with the top section and make barrel with hair. Wrap hair around your fingers and place on head. Use curby grips to as they are designed to hold in structure. Place grip on the curve of hair. (Long hair you may need more grips.) 
• Repeat process for other three sections. Thinks about spacing as they need to meet soon. 
• Use hair pins to manipulate and move hair so that it all meets. Insert the pin at the base of hair. (Think about size of pin in comparison to the size of the bun as you don't want the pin sticking out the other side if it's small.) 

Fishtail plait: 

• Pick section of hair you want to plait. 
• Divided into two equal sections. 
• Take small piece of hair from the outside of one of the sections and bring across to the other section. 
• Repeat process until you have used all hair and plait is complete. The looser fishtails are the better they look.
• Tie with a hair band (small plastic clear bands are good for this.) Mess around with and pull bits out as they look better a bit messier. 

French plaits:

• Pick section of hair that you want to plait. 
• Divided hair into three equal sections. 
• Start by plaiting normally for one plait. 
• Then introduce a section of hair from the outside and bring over the top into the middle section. 
• Do this again on other side and continue down. 
• Keep good tension and french plaits look better tight and secure. 
• Tie at the bottom. 

Evaluation: French plait is definitely the plait i need to practice and work on as i feel it should have been tighter and neater. Now i have learnt the basic technique i will be able to work on it though to perfect my skill as french plaits are used a lot. 

I feel the bun and fish tail plait went well.
