1980's Big Hair

In this weeks practical lesson we looked at styling 80's hair. We did two different techniques of brushed out curls using a big barrelled tong and then scrunching.

First Look - Big Curls

• I began by sectioning the hair and prepping it by brushing it out making sure that there was no knots or tangles.
• Using a tong, I then started from the top in a brick work style curling it down and pinning it in to place to allow it to cool.
• This is then dressed out with a paddle brush to create a voluminous look. We only did this to half of the head as we were going to scrunch the other half.
• Here is some pictures of the looks we had to create.

Second Look - Scrunching

• For this look we had to firstly wet the hair and apply lashings of strong hold mousse. 
• We then used a diffuser attachment and blow dried the hair to create a scrunched look, I loved the look of this.
• We then finished with hairspray.
• Here are some pictures of the look.

Once we had done the scrunching technique, we were asked to add hair accessories to complete this 80's look. I used a piece of red material and created a big bow. I used images of Madonna for ideas and inspiration.

After this we were asked to create one final look..

This was an up do, we went created a pulled back look, this could also be achieved with a banana clip, an accessories that was used frequently in the 80's.

I really enjoyed learning this era, it was fun and I think I will research further and see if this will be something I use in my final designs and assessment.
