Historical Assessment


This is the outcome of my 1940's pin up inspired hairstyle. 
I am pleased with the way the overall hairstyle turned out as the curls look very glossy which I what I aimed for. I also like how voluminous the hairstyle looks which I feel gives a nice shape to the look. Bits that I struggled with was the front of the hair as it was attached to the whefts when back combing it felt very rough and kept on separating leaving gaps in the hair. I feel like If I had practised this look before hand then I would have gotten the hang of back combing. Improvements for next time would definitely be working on rollers as some of them were uneven which led to the curls being bigger and smaller than others which took away from a nice shape and made it look messier. Overall I am pleased with this look as I feel like I have now learnt the skills of blocking, setting and styling acrylic wigs into a historical hairstyle however I feel like more practise would lead to a better outcome and also having an accurate eye for things like the black pins which were showing from one side.
