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.
