My designs + final decision

 DESIGN 1

For my first design I thought of crimping all the hair and make it very voluminous. Also i wanted to add a bejeweled hair band/ necklace. Along the sidelines of the hair band I wanted to do very tight curls and do two big pin curls on the forehead.


I also had another design which is quite similar, where I just added two paddings on each side to get a heart shape.
But this version was still too historical, so I won't use it,

DESIGN 2

My inspiration for this design came from the Korean Vogue Editorial from December 2012 starring Park Soo Joo

I wanted to create a heart shape ,using very backcombed hair. On the sides I wanted to do several rows of single pin curls and the fringe would be backcombed and formed into a big kind of curl( I don't know how to explain it very well ^^) But as you can see it is way too close to the original. So if I wanted to use I definitely have to change a few things. Which I did :)


DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN 2

I wanted to keep the heart shape, but instead of only use backcombed hair I would crimp the hair first and then backcomb it quite a lot ,so I can take it over without using any padding. I don't want to use padding because of the simple reason to save my partner some time for the assessment. Also I want it to be big and a bit messy.The fringe bit I would frizz using the hair pin+ hair straightener method and the take the frizzing apart and take it over. But I still want the front bit to be big and messy as well. On the sides and back of the head I now want to do those wiggly/wiggle plaits. I think those plaits would give the whole design a very modern touch. I am still thinking about whether to use this bejeweled hair band from Design 1 or not.


DESIGN 3

I did this design a few times during lesson( you can find the blog post about it here) and thought if I add something modern in the back or use some colored ribbons it would make it a nice contemporary version. In this design I did a somewhat zig zag french plait at the back. For the front I created the heart shape by taking over some crimped hair over the attached padding and then do 2 rows of tight curls in the front from which you take the second row in loose curls over the padding. The first row of curls you position nicely along the hairline. I really liked this design and thought of using it as my final choice but here again it is still just too historical. 



DESIGN 4

For my last design I created a very round shape using padding and crimped hair. I would use all of the hair and cover the padding with it. In the front I did pin curls along the hairline and decorated it with a pearl necklace going along the forehead. I won't use this design because first of all I am not sure if I really like it and whether it reminds you of the Elizabethans or not. I am still very unsure about it:) 



FINAL DECISION!!!

For my final decision I will use the developed design from design 2. I liked design from the very beginning and it was already one of my choices. I just needed to make a few more changes as it was too close to the original. After I changed the design I liked it even more and thought the wiggly plaits would be a great extra.
