Fashion Hair first practical demo

For our first practical lesson with Emma she demonstrated a wet brick set to us, this meaning Emma started by brushing the dolls hair back and starting from the front sectioning for her first roller, the section would be no bigger than the width of the roller and no longer than the length as this would cause over hang on the roller not giving you your perfect set. After getting her right amount of section Emma then sprayed her section,2 sprays not too close as she didn't want to soak the hair for the set as will take longer to set!
Rolling her section up keep bringing her tail comb in to keep the ends in otherwise could cause the hair to create a fish hook at the end of the hair when the roller is taken out. A fish hook in the hairstyling term is the ends of the hair don't really curl and become more of a "fish hook" and this is because when the ends aren't kept being fed in with your tail comb do create this to your set.
As Emma kept rolling up her hair she always kept tension on her section so this gives it a tight hold and by doing this creating a tighter curl. After she got to the end of her first wet set row on top of the dolls head, this is where Emma started to start her brick set showing in the quick sketch I drew below


The reason for brick setting is so when the hair is taken out its not in sections of straight rows, but with a brick set the sections will fall into a nice flow. Once Emma had finished her wet brick set she used a portable head dryer to set her models hair to dry.



After applying the portable heater to the wet brick set and leaving to dry for about 30 minutes, when the set is dry and checked so, Emma unpinned her rollers starting from the bottom and  working her way up the head. Creating these beautiful curls, using a Denman brush to brush out ready for dressing the hair.





After brushing the set out, Emma dressed the models hair out as the bigger rollers gave more of volume on top creating into smaller giving a fashionable style for today.
