Creating the 'Simple' Wig Design - Week 3/3 Assessment

My 'Simple' Wig Design:

For this wig, the structure was created with heavy padding and bringing the crimped hair around and securing it in place. As before, Hayley's natural hairline was brought into the wig and was crimped before this process. The structure of the wig was fairly solid, yet adjustable. This allowed me to reshape it slightly whilst secured to Hayley's head. Once all the hair has been positioned and secured into place, coloured spray was applied randomly in a complimentary fashion to the style. Once dry, I positioned the flowers and feathers in the hair and secured into place. At the final moment, The beading was applied at an angle across the front of the hair. Teamed with this style, I created an appropriate make-up look to add to the 18th Century inspired design.  

Creating the 'Moderate' Wig Design - Week 2/3 Assessment

For my 'Moderate' wig style, I needed to create more 'frizzed' hair around the hairline as the entire head of hair is to be just this one texture. The padding is larger than the 'extreme' wig, and therefore more hair is needed to cover this. Here are some photos of how I set and and steamed part of wig to get the desired texture of hair:

My 'Moderate' Wig Design:

To create this design, I used a large hoop shaped piece of padding which I created using a large stocking padded out with wadding. This was secured off centre and on a slant on the wig using grips. The outer hair was then positioned over the padding and secured into place. The remaining hair was tied into a ponytail. The birdcage was then secured into the centre of the padding using multiple pins. This was then firmly secured with the remaining hair wrapped around the birdcage's base and secured firmly with pins. Again, Hayley's natural hairline was brought up into the wig once it was secured onto her head. This was then sprayed with colour and the additional flowers and feathers were later added. A complimentary pastel turquoise makeup was applied, similar to the first one, but differing in colour.  

Steaming and Setting the Nylon Wig

For my ‘Extreme’ wig design, my design has contrasting textures. This meant that there needed to be different settings. For the outer section of the hair, my design has very frizzed and texured hair. To create this, I wrapped small sections of hair around large pins and secured with grips. For the inner section, I used rollers in a variety of sizes, which were rolled in a central direction.

Once the entire wig is set, it is ready to be steamed. Using the steamer, hold over each section until the hair is visibly wet and has a slight change, almost looking melted. Once completed, leave to set for at least three days before taking out the equipment.

For my ‘moderate’ wig design, the wig required more of the ‘fizzed’ textured hair. This meant that I have used more of the inner section of hair and set the hair in the pins. This is then steamed. The inner section of hair is not necessary for this design, so I have just wrapped this around to keep out of the way.

Creating the 'Extreme' Wig Design - Week 1/3 Assessment

Setting and steaming for my 'Extreme' Wig Design:

Creating the design:

1.

Here is the padding which I used for each section of hair. The larger one creates the base structure. The padding was wrapped in crepe hair to hide any unusual colourings and to secure to the wig.

2.

Here, we can see how the first padding is positioned onto the wig. This was secure using pins. The inner section of the hair is the curls tied into a ponytail.

3.

The crimped hair is then secured over the top on the padding, making sure all areas of the padding are hidden.

4.

Here, we can see how the second smaller padding is fitted on top, again with the curls pulled through the centre.

5.

Using wefts of straight hair, I completely covered the padding, still with the curls pulled through the centre.

6.

In the centre of the curls, I placed an additional small piece of padding for the boat to rest on when being secured. You can also see how the curls have been separated in the centre so they are evenly distributed around the boat.

7.

Here you can see how I have wrapped crepe hair around the base of the boat to help with securing.

8.

The boat is then attached to the padding and secured to the wig.

9.

Once the main structure of the wig has been created, I added additional wefts of curled hair into positions to add more volume.

Prepping The Model's Hair (Hayley):

The Make-up Look:

My 'Extreme' Wig Design:

Once the wig had been secured to the head, I wrapped mesh around the boat and added flowers and feathers. Hayley's natural hairline has been crimped and brought into the wig and secured with hairspray and pins. The hair was then sprayed using pastel colours. I then added some beading that I had made and bought, and brought it over the front of the wig, then secured with pins.
