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.
