The up/do creative fun and can be a challenge for many. My hope over the next couple of days is to share with you one look start to finish. Then post a few different looks.
The key to getting the look you want is. Three fold firstly consultation with your client.What type of look she is hoping for what is the event ?What is she wearing? Secondly confidence in your ability to deliver said or requested look. Lastly. Vision and technical ability to create something that will not only look good but will last the evening what ever might transpire!!
Length of hair type of hair should not be an issue if you know what your doing and work with confidence this comes with practice .
As I post shots of this models hair going up you will see even though it's really long it's quite easy to manipulate. Being good at back combing really helps and working neatly be organised.
The look we are creating will be very polished and elegant with height at the crown to achieve this i have started with a high partial pong tail and pulled it through a doughnut to give me a solid base and extra height on the crown. Before starting to wrap the hair around the base i back comb it to give volume smoothing it out with a Mason pearson brush.
With so much hair to work with leaving the brush in the fringe area keep it out of the clients face and will create extra bend or wave for me down the road. When working with such long hair work with it don't fight it.It tells you were it wants to lie just go with it work with it. play with it to see what looks best
This shot show's how the shape is coming together the height is forming on the crown we are in control of each section as we place it. It's starting to be fun!
Here we are the look is staring to come together we have now incorporated the sides in the look it shows of both the highlights and movement of the look we have set out to create. We still have some work to do on the crown area and some long hair still to hide and work with.
Almost done now as your can see all that long hair has been used to create a pleated look giving the look lots of dimension and texture .showing off the multi tonal colours. this type of up do will stay up all day and night!
One strand left to play with. We have also added a little with a little blue hair extension just for a little variety.
The last step is to work to put the finishing touches to the look lose any unwanted stray hair's make sure it tight feels safe and that the client feels confident with the look and how it feels. Does it feel safe and secure and is it comfortable ! Yes no pins sticking in her head!
not pre curling not hot rollers just blow dried the day before. Back combing and hair spray
I hope that it will encourage you as a stylist to have some fun and enjoy putting hair up.I hope it helps show you a method and encourages you to play. As a client if you looking for idea's work with your stylist. Take in pictures of looks like like but be prepared to listen to advise.On how it might look and if your hair is suitable. will it stand the test of time !!! more looks tomorrow
