My Hair Evaluation.

Since reflecting back on the Redheads and Royalty assignment I feel I have developed and learnt a lot in terms of new techniques and hair itself, I was most intimidated to take on this project as I never been experienced or confident in hair knowledge or styling. Considering that this was a challenging assignment for me, I feel I taken on the project and completed the final assessment well. The theme of this brief was interesting for me and I enjoyed learning new techniques and skills and also recreating Elizabethan hairstyles. A technique that I struggled most with in the this brief would be creating different style plaits particularly the fishtail plait. Although I found this difficult, I made sure to practice and not get disheartened, eventually I began to feel more confident at creating plaits and I now even have a favourite style plait which is the fish tail. Factors like this also make me feel that I have developed a lot as in the final assessment I was able to form a very decent fish tail plait my partner wanted and the outcome was the best I had made compared to when creating it in practice sessions. Considering that I was nervous about this brief in the beginning, I feel that I have surprised myself with what I can create and also enjoyed it more then I thought. In some areas of this brief I think I let myself down as I hadn’t been able to attend all of the classes for the unit and many times I had practiced within class I had forgotten to photograph and document my progress. In conclusion I found this brief very enjoyable despite my limited knowledge of normal and Elizabethan hair. I feel I had good time management throughout the brief and balanced my blogs and practical work well, If I was to develop and improve my performance in this brief I would I would make sure to practice more in sessions on different hair textures, make sure to take more pictures and notes so that when I reflect back in blogs I could provide more evidence and development with my work.
