Brief

Hair styling/design and postiches are the two of the most important tools a make-up artist can work with because they can radically transform a person’s appearance.  This unit is designed to introduce the essential skills and techniques for hair styling and postiche application, including studio safety, health & hygiene. Students will be introduced to the technical and creative processes involved in the styling of hair and the application of postiches. Students will also learn about the historical contexts and cultural value relevant to the fashions in period and contemporary hair and wig styling.  Students will develop an awareness of research as the basis of creative design development and establish the relationship between research, design and realisation required for a successful project outcome
