Shaping and frizzing and using padding

Shaping and frizzing

Using padding to shape the hair:

The is the type of padding I will create for the structure of my hair design, I will make this by cutting up a hair doughnut and placing it in a pair of tights. This way I can create my desired look by holding the product and shaping it to fit in the hair. I will also use a model doughnut that is the same or a similar colour to the hair of the model I will be using, this will then make the finished design better quality as the padding all be less visible.

For this I have used:

• padding-rat
• brush
• pin tail comb
• grips to hold weight 
• straightening iron 
• crimping iron

This image shows a model with hair that has been styled using padding, it was very well done because the padding isn't visible and makes the hair look unique, full and thick. This effect can be made even if the model has thin or shower hair because the use of padding will enhance the size and shape and make the hair appear bigger.

To begin my design I shaped the hair on my Kate doll, it was already crimped which gave the hair volume, I parted it in the middle and separated the two front pieces to create a love heart shape.  

This technique is done by frizzing the hair using straighteners, also called rick rack, the hair divided into small sections and wrapped around a metal hair clip in a figure of eight. I then secured the hair in position and heated it using the straighteners.   

Once the hair is cooled, individually I undone each hair clip and let it fall, I then pulled each one back separately behind the already shaped hair. I liked this idea but to make it contemporary I let two pieces fall at the sides, I separated the curls out to create a frizz. 

I let the frizzed hair down on one side to create a more contemporary look, I then neatened the love heart shaped hair using a comb. 

Many women in the 16th century used padding in their hair to create larger looks that were piled on top of their heads, this look was inspired by the fashion conscious Queen Elizabeth I. The padding used was made from hair similar or exact in colour to the hair of the wearer, and was called a 'rat,' this is because the shape was very similar to the shape of a real rat. Most women would follow the trends of Elizabeth I and would dye their hair red, the dyes used were poisonous and would cause the hair to fall out or become very thin; wigs then became popular and more padding was used to create the looks similar to the Queen.

This image shows Queen Elizabeth I with big hair, although this piece of hair way have been a wig, she was known to have large curly hair that stood on her head. Many poorer people who wanted the same effect would not have been able to afford wigs, padding was much cheaper and easier to get the same effect. The curls of Elizabeths hair was very well known and she would always have very tight curls involved in her hair do. This effect can be made in a few ways contemporary; frizzing also known as rick racking, and crimping, in this particular lesson I learned how to rick rack, it is more time consuming but creates a tight curl in the hair that can be frizzed out by brushing. This effect can look neater than just using crimping tools.
