Simple Wig

Moderate wig

Equipment

·         Wig

·         Bobby pins

·         Wig cap

·         Snazaroo

·         Make up brush

·         Water

·         Hairspray

·         Backcombing brush

Method

1.       Firstly I created my wig before I applied it on my model.

2.       I started with a quiff at the top of the head and secured with a bobby pin.

3.       It was then ready to be applied.

I had to leave quite a lot of the wig until the day I was shooting because I needed to use my models hair in the wig.  I gathered the hair into a side ponytail and secured with a band.  I used some more bands down the ponytail to section it off.  I then used gold spray around each band to add some definition, and used the snazzaroo to blend the models hair in.

3.       It was then ready to be applied.

Application

•             Make a circle of hair to keep out to incorporate into the wig

•             Then French plait the centre of the hair, making sure they are as flat as possible

•             Apply the stocking cap making sure all hair including side burns are tucked in

•             Use pintail comb to tuck in

•             Fold wig in half and pin to centre of the head using thick bobby pins

•             Use wiggly pins to go in flat and push in

•             Base, sides, 1 at front

•             Then smaller pins round the side

I had to leave quite a lot of the wig until the day I was shooting, as I needed to use my models hair into the French pleat.  I gathered all of the hair, leaving a small piece out to curl as I wanted to have one piece of hair kept out.  I the wrapped the hair around my hand and styled it into a French pleat.  Whilst I was working on the make up I curled one piece of hair and pinned it until it cooled.  Then I added the facepaint to help the hair blend in.  Lastly I finished with hairspray and a spritz of gold.

I found creating this wig a little more tricky as I was doing it on my model, but I just had to make sure it was secure so it didn’t move whilst it was on her head.

Method

1.       Firstly I created my wig before I applied it on my model.

2.       I started with a quiff at the top of the head and secured with a bobby pin.

3.       I then created the chignon at the bottom of the head and pinned it into place.

4.       Then it was onto the plaits and twists. I created an even number of them at the back of the head and secured them into the chignon.

5.       It was then ready to be applied.

Application

•             Make a circle of hair to keep out to incorporate into the wig

•             Then French plait the centre of the hair, making sure they are as flat as possible

•             Apply the stocking cap making sure all hair including side burns are tucked in

•             Use pintail comb to tuck in

•             Fold wig in half and pin to centre of the head using thick bobby pins

•             Use wiggly pins to go in flat and push in

•             Base, sides, 1 at front

•             Then smaller pins round the side

I then incorporated my models hair into the wig and made it blend in as best I could by using the face paint.  Then I added the gold hairspray onto the plaits and twists.  Lastly using a toothbrush and hairspray, I smoothed down the fly away hairs.

 

I was very happy with my first wig application I felt everything went to plan and I achieved the look that I wanted to create.

This is the picture I chose to recreate.

 

Equipment

·         Hair brush

·         Heated rollers

·         Tail comb

·         Grabbies

Method

1.       Firstly brush out all the hair to get rid of all the knots.

2.       Then, I sectioned the hair into a middle parting and left two small pieces out at the front for the curls.

3.       I then worked through the hair starting at the top, setting it in brickwork pattern on each side of the head securing them with grabbies.  Use the tail comb to make sure all the wispy bits of hair are in.

4.       Place two smaller rollers in the sections at the front of the head and then leave them all to cool.

5.       Once they are all cool, remove all the rollers and brush out.

6.       With the two sections at the front of the head, I curled them up like a pin curl, and subtly pinned them into place so they wouldn’t move.

I enjoyed creating this design because I like doing roller sets.  If I was to do this again, I would make sure I didn’t have drag when setting the rollers because I didn’t get the lift I wanted and there was a slight dip in the hair.

 

 

Testing ideas

Testing ideas

I tested 3 ideas for my wig and they were;

Using a gold hair spray

How big/small to do the plaits

What was best to use on models hair to make it similar colour to wig

Gold spray

I wanted to use gold spray in my hair design and tested it out.  I am pleased with the way it came out when I practised so I decided to use it in my final design.

 

Plaits

I experimented with different size plaits for my final design, as I wanted them to look prominent but not be too large.  I decided to go for the medium size (left)

Colouring

I practised with aquacolour (left), snazaroo (right) and greasepaint (middle).  I found the greasepaint was a bit too greasy to use on the hair and was going to leave a shine when I took a picture.  I decided to go with snazaroo because the colour was just slightly stronger in my opinion that the aquacolour.
