Quentin Face charts/ Hair Charts

I am portraying Quentin as a Frankenstein mixed body part type. He will have scars and be dead looking. Have sweaty skin bags under eyes and red eyes. I am creating a scar on his neck where his head has been attached to a different body. The word I am choosing to inspire me on this look is 'Awakening' as I wanted to make him look like he has been awakened from his grave by Claudia. Quentins hair will be messy and sooty looking.

Claudia Face chart/ Hair chart

Claudia's Make-up will be perfect, she will have maroon eye makeup with sharp eyeliner, she will have dark lips and look beautiful. Shes a witch so she has to have a essence of evil about her, so her makeup will be heavy and look dark. She will be wearing all black and be assesoriesed with a black floppy hat and black neck collar. I want to get a black veil and try different posses with that over her face also to get some goo shots. Her hair will be pin straight.

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

[1]

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)

Pictures of the heated rollers layout are below

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.

Hair Practice

Hair Practice for Jeykll and Hyde.

Consultation notes:
Name: Ross Kershaw
Age:22
Skin type: dry
Hair type: Grey/pink, short
Skin tone: Pale
Eye colour: blue
Eyeshape: Even
Allergies/medication: N/A
Contraindications: N/A
Notes: Use heat spray onto the hair as it gets bleached a lot.

Tools used:
Kryolan color spray brown, grey and black

Notes: spray at a far distance, cover the skin to make sure you don't spray the colour onto the skin.

I have sprayed the grey and brown to see what they looked like together, I didn't really like the outcome of the brown colour.

I have sprayed over the brown with the black and think it looks a lot better for this character, as the character is meant to have a sinister look and believe the black would help create this effect.

This color spray is amazing I like how it looks with and without the flash. I am thinking a side part, one side it grey and slick back and the other side is messy and curly this will be the black side. I will have to style the hair first before using the spray.

Jekyll and hyde hair chart/ideas

Jeykll and Hyde Hair Charts

I have created this face chart with Victorian influences, looking at Victorian men's hairstyle  I have decided to go with a side parting. As my design is half and half, one side which is the small side of the parting will be slick back and grey as Jekyll is an old man. On the other I see some of the Victorian men have slightly curled hair and as my other character Hyde is know as deformed and abnormal I will over curl his hair and back comb it looking crazy and have it black. 

[1]

I really like my idea and think it is suitable for the character, I have enjoyed doing half and half design and was unsure whether I would come up with a good design, I even thought of using a top hat but I wanted to design more of the hair and not cover most of it with a hat.

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.
