Victorian Hair Practice

Tools:

Sectioning comb

Sectioning clips

Hair bobble/band

Hair grips/pins

Step by Step

1. Start by sectioning ear to ear creating a front and back section of the hair, pin the front section away.

2.Put the back section in a pony in the middle of the hair

3.French plat the pony and twist round into a bun and pin it so its secure

4.Start on the front section of the hair and do a centre parting

5. Choose one side of the parting and grab it loosely, stand in front of the model and start the French plat the hair loosely but pulling the hair to the front of the models face as you plat.

6. After you have done the plat loop it under the ear and pin the bottom of the plat into the bun at the back, making sure its secure.

7. Repeat this process on the other side of the parting.

I enjoyed learning different hair styles in the Victorian era and think its interesting what the trends where. I think I done quite well with my first practice but I wasn't quite happy with the loose plat at the sides of the ears, I will try better next time as I don't think you can see the plat properly and look more like twists so I could improve on that next time. Despite the improvements I could make, I am really proud of how well it looks and how very Victorian it turned out.
