Firstly we starting with a demonstration from our lecturer Lottie as she showed us how to create the look.

Equipment:

• Hair brush
• Afro Comb
• curling tongs
• grips
• clips
• hairspray
• pin tail comb

1. I firstly used my pin tail comb to section the hair in which direction the curls need to go. I started with creating an off center parting and clipping the whole front section and a bit of the sides out of the way so I could start working on the brick work at the back. 
2. I then started doing brick work curls at the back of the which is basically one wide roll and then two rolls and then one and so on. I used my tongs to roll the hair up right to the root making sure there is a lift and holding it for around 10 seconds and then pulling the tongs out gently. Once the hair was in a roll I used a grip to hold it in place while it cools and sets.
3. Once the whole of the back was curled and gripped I started on the front section. The front/side section has to be done separately because the curls need to face a different direction. The top of the head was section large however was all coming backwards however this time not in brick work. 
4. After I completed all the curls that needed to be facing backwards I started on the side section as they needed to be coming off the face sideways. Once the whole head was completely rolled I sprayed the hair with hairspray. 
5. Once I knew the curls were completely cool I took all of the grips out the hair. I then used my afro comb to brush through it to separate the curls. I also used a brush to comb over the top and underneath the hair to give it, its slight wave. At the front I brushed it through then used my comb to back comb the roots of the fringe and the back of the hair to give it volume and finally sprayed the hair again to set the look.

FINAL LOOK

Outcome:

I was happy with the outcome of my 70's hair design however I think at bit more curls throughout the hair would look better to make it look more similar to the hair design we were working from. I think this is also down due to the fact the dolls head doesn't have shorted layers at the top to give the volume and flicks and in the 70's layered hair was popular. I think we curling and rollering the hair with the tongs I need to practice sectioning the hair better and keeping it in neat sectioned and try not to have a drag at the root of the hair. I think this will all come along with practice when curling the hair with tongs. However I feel the design resembled well to the design we based the look from and found the hairstyle fun to create and giving volume throughout the hair.

AFRO

Equipment:

• Hair brush
• Geisha grip
• hairspray
• straighteners
• pin tail comb
• afro comb

1. First step was getting our pin tail comb and using the pin end to section off the hair. We don't want the hair in straight sections as it won't blend as well. Using the pin end of the comb create a zig zag parting and move the hair out the way, this then creates clear sections in a pattern. 
2. You then grab the first section and put it to the end of a geisha grip and wrap it around the grip in a figure of 8. Once the hairs completely wrapped around get your straighteners (which should be pre-heated) and hold them over the hair in the grip. 
3. The hair should automatically stay and then move on to do the others. Once all sections are cool  simply pull the grip out and it should be in a small wiggly curl. I then got the end of my pin tail comb and separated the hairs and used my afro comb to brush through it from the roots. Then simply get hair spray and spray to stay in place.
