Assessment - Contemporary

Today was the contemporary part of my assessment for the wig unit. So I decided to incorporate curls and plaits into my hair, as you can see from the prep work that I did. Obviously this time for the assessment, I created the look in the lesson instead of doing the styling out of lesson. So I found that I gave myself a lot less time to get the wig on my models head and sort it all out to also have time to fit in make-up too. 

Here are a few images of the process of putting the wig on the model and last minute styling bits;

Like you always do when placing a wig on someone's head, you put the whole head in pin curls and then place a wig cap over top and then secure that in place with grips. Unfortunately, I forgot to get pictures of this, but I can assure you that it was as tight as what I normally do. With this look, I was able to create it all on my head stand so I could put it straight on my model and then shoot, unlike my historical where I had to leave some down so I could measure it up properly when it was on my models head. This made it all a quicker process for me. I then went on to do my models make-up with dark lips and slightly pale face. I found that I didn't have enough time to spend trying to get the eye liner on point and the same as eachother so I decided not to do it at all to save me some stress. 

Overall, I'm so happy with how this look came out. It had volume and height in the front, just like I wanted it to and it curled perfectly. Like always, there were a few time where I started to get frustrated when styling the wig but whatever came in my way, I managed to tackle it and sort it out. Here are the final outcome look of my contemporary wig assessment;
