I started by separating the hair into two sections. One to make the plait and one for the bun. First I made the bun using a donut and securing into place with booby pins. The front section was split into two and the bottom half I scraped backwards to hide some of the sectioning lines. The top half of that section I made into the plait and made it going backwards towards the bun and then wrapped it around the bun. I then went back around it all tidying it up and securing everything with more Bobby pins. Client very happy! In an ideal world I would have used hairspray to stop all the flyaway hairs in order for a smoother finish. I like the rustic look of it though too.

Tried a few times on my client to get the hang of the rolling. We brushed the hair through and separated 2 front sections to use later on. I used the roller accessory to roll the hair up. Securing into place with hair pins. I twisted the sides again after a few attempts and tried to make a bit of a feature of the sections going towards the back. Client got a little bit impatient and would not allow me to try again so I had to accept this as my final submission. I enjoyed this task. Client happy with the end result.

Hair sectioned and dried with hairdryer. Using good tension and continuous rolling of the brush to get the hair to curl under at the ends. Good I think without any products. Sorry my daughter in the background on this one I didn’t realise.
As it was a nice day it was a great opportunity to work on my doll again. Hopefully my tripod will arrive soon! Kids also spent some pe time running round the garden chasing foils that had blown away.

All done. Product left to work as per mfi instructions. Removed foils over sink and washed clients hair.

Had slight issue with first couple on the crown area but just kept persevering.

Using back of comb to assist in tightly closing the sides of the foils

Using tail end of comb to flatten out the foil and remove any excess air.

To ensure full coverage turned brush on its side to get through all layers of the hair

As bleach ensuring the product not too close to the edge of the foil as the product expands. This ensures no bleach bleeds or ends up on client’s scalp.

Before we sectioned the hair I agreed with the client the colours she wanted. Client didn’t want a lot of highlights so we agreed to do alternate foils so taking a  1cm section of hair then splitting that followed by the weaving. (Also due to me not having loads of foil to use) The colour was mixed as per mfi instructions when sectioned in order to ensure product not left standing for too long. Gloves and full ppe would have been worn in real situation. (I don’t have yet)

Sectioning before service. Slight angles on side sections due to directions foils will be heading when done.

My model decided to keep her bun in and put a little plait in instead from the front.

# data[].attributes.body
Last attempt I can definitely see more of a wave now but without products to help mould the hair into place even section clips don’t hold hair where you place it.

# data[].attributes.body
Also I wonder if my piece of hair is thick enough? It is definitely the right width for my fingers but I am just unable to get it to wave properly?

# data[].attributes.body
I have tried numerous times (finally I had an agreeable model) and can not do this action at all? Here are a few  of my attempts. It is hard though I think with no products or electrical items to use.

# data[].attributes.body
I have researched lots of finger waves videos and information. There are lots of ways to do this. Some use rollers, straighteners, serums, setting lotions, just fingers etc etc. I don’t have all the necessary equipment yet to try different options but I will try just doing with my fingers later this week on my daughter as nowhere in the house to put my doll securely and she won’t let me brush out her curls I did last night yet!
I have also been researching men’s haircuts and blending/fading today for a few hours so when my new clippers arrive I can have a go at that as not done it for nearly 20 years! Watch this space.

All done and blow dried back view. I don’t have any spray or finishing products at home but would have used on a client if they were in agreement to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
Washed out the colour using emulsifying technique to ensure all colour removed, rotary and effleurage etc. Then blow dried the hair. Front view.

# data[].attributes.body
Went and did all around the hairline making especially sure to do front and side sections to ensure full coverage.

# data[].attributes.body
All sections completed and all hair pulled out to allow air circulation. Back view.

Did all the way to the bottom and then side cross checked to ensure all root were covered. Then pulled all the hair out to ensure that the air can get to it all and help the colour to take properly.

# data[].attributes.body
Went to a well ventilated area and mixed up my colour. Then selected thin layers of hair (so you can see through) and applied to the roots, pushed that section up and then did bottom of it too when in the upper position to ensure full and even coverage. Also please note as the hair was short I started at the top. For longer hair I would have started at the nape so I could remove colour easier if necessary especially if I had been using bleach etc.
