Disaster!

My Assessment Disaster! And how i overcome it

Soooo, i had a little, well i say a little.. a HUGE disaster when it came to my first assessment for wig work. The Historical Assessment. To prepare the hair of the wigs you can't use a lot of heat onto the hair otherwise the hair will fizzle and will be ruined and very hard to work with so you have to put the hair into non heated rollers and steam the hair twice for half an hour and wait for the hair to set to create a curl. Although this was my first time ever doing the steam i thought i had done this correctly and well however when it came to my assessment and time to tae out the rollers to steam the hair the hair just flopped. No curl was there to work with at all and the hair just went to its original shape and style.  So i had to think on the spot a quick action plan as i wasn't able to us my design as it included curls unfortunately as this hairstyle was pretty much impossible to do. From this i learnt to always have a back up plan.

It was time to put my thinking cap on. Luckily i had done a reasonable amount of research during the 1940'speriod and researched some of the popular hairstyles of this period. After a few minutes looking back on my research i found a technique i could use that didn't require much or any heat. This was Pin curling! For this hairstyle all you needed was some water spray to make the hair smooth and slick, hair grips to secure the hair into place, your fingers to wind up the curl and lastly some hairspray to hold the hair. Hallelujah!
