Hair Design Testing 

I wanted to begin testing my final design idea, as i wanted a clearer idea of how it would work and when giving instructions to my partner i wanted to see if any issues arrived while testing. 

Kiss Curls 

I found these were pretty simple to create i used a lot of the models baby hair and sectioned a very thin amount of hair away from the hair line to use. I used a wax gel covering the hair and then twisted sections of the hair around my finger pulling it off and then sticking these to the face i then applied hair spray directly onto the model skin and kiss curl so it would stick to the face. This worked well and i was happy with the outcome the hairspray meant that the kiss curls stayed in place while the rest of the style was being created. 

Finger Wave
I found the finger wave was the part of the style that i did have a lot of struggle with i found that the hair although very thin was hard to move around as there was a lot of it when trying to create a wet finger wave style. I then decided that it may be easier if i curled that hair as shown in class when creating finger wave bobs, this would then save time and create a easier better effect. I found that my models hair didn't curl well her hair naturally very straight didn't respond to the heat of the tongs very well and when brushing them out they all feel to the bottom of the hair.
I have then gone back in and wet finger waved the hair taking a more hands on effect were i manipulated the hair and applied the grips to were i felt the wave could sit nicely the models hair was greasy so this allowed the style to be created a lot easier, i feel if on the day the models hair is softer i will get my partner to apply a dry wax so the hair is more manageable. I then hair sprayed the waves and they then sat in place.
Although this looked effective i would have liked the waves to be a lot tighter together as shown within my initial design i do like the shine that was achieved by the hair spray and i will look into buying a shine spray to complete the over all look.
I feel that i will discuss my partners abilities on her finger waving skills and if its very hard for her i may have to adapt my design.

Pin curl bob
This i felt worked well within the rest of the design i parted the hair in a deep middle parting, then parting from behind the ears i sectioned of the back with this i tied into a pony tail creating a very sleek, shiny look. I have created pin curls with the hair around the nape of the neck i felt this worked very well with the kiss curls at the front of the style and they were quick and easy to create for time management, Although in this image i have used black pins within my final assessment the pin curls will be a lot more structures and blonde grips will be used and hidden.
Within the images below i didn't finger wave the left hand side of the hair this will be waved to mirror the application above.

With my hair design i feel that i would like the kiss curls at the front to be applied before the finger wave during my practice i found this was the easier way to do this and when the kiss curls were throughly hair sprayed they didn't move although brushing of the hair line has to be done carefully as not to pull the hair off the face.

Eye Brow Testing 
I wanted to test out blocking out of the eye brows onto my model as her brows weren't as thick at mine as shown in the practise of my design on myself i found it a lot easier on conceal them, i wanted to find the right shape further that suited her face.
I created this by applying prick struck over the brows, using a think foundation krolyan pallet and illamasqua translucent powder. layering the foundation and power repeating this until covered.

 I felt that using the models natural eye brow shape suited her face the most i traced along the top of her existing brow to create a soft and subtle look . I am still undecided weather to use this technique within my design i want that classic 20's /30's brow shape but don't want the blocking of the brow to look obvious as this could ruin my design.
