American Horror story styled hair

American Horror Story Styled Hair

Today I have concentrated on creating an American Horror Hair style, doing Moira of the first season of the show. Her hair is nicely styled, curled and pinned.

Tools needed: Heated Rollers, sectioning comb, brush, grips, sectioning clips and hairspray

Step 1
Brush all of the hair making sure you are getting rid of any tangles
Step 2
Create a neat side parting at the front of the hair
Step 3
Starting at the front use the larger size of the  heated rollers, starting from the parting and applying  the heated rollers side ways on the shorter side, making sure the roller goes under the hair and is tight enough and a reasonable amount of section into the roller. (3 red rollers fitted on this side)
Step 4
Apply the rollers on the other side of the parting in the same way (5 red rollers fitted here)
Step 5
Now use the medium size heated rollers, behind the bigger ones and apply them facing forward, and in a brick work set. Do this until half way down the head. (6 blue rollers fitted here)
Step 6
Now use the small size heated rollers, making sure the roller goes over the hair and curls.( 7 white rollers fitted here)

Step 7
Section the front of the hair off and clip it away
Step 8
Using the bottom of the hair start to curl it under and round, do it separately into 3 big rolls and firmly grip. Start gathering them together with the pointy end of the comb and pin them together so there are no gaps
Step 9
Now using the front section, keep the side parting, start creating curled textures into the hair and firmly pin them.
Step 10
Use Hairspray all over the hair and smooth the wispy hair down.

I'm not really that confident with doing hair, but I think I am getting more confident and better at styling the hair. Creating different hairstyles and learning new skills on this course is showing and helping with different techniques. I enjoyed today doing this hairstyle and think I could re-create it and do it better. I need to improve on hiding the grips, they are all hidden in this hairstyle but that's after me finishing the style and then spending time going over and re-inserting them to hid them.
