Inspiration: Space Medium (structure): Steal Wire Medium (hair): Kanekalon Braiding Hair 613 Medium (planets): Styrofoam wrapped in Kanekalon 613, Glitter craft paper Color: Streaks N' Tips Temporary Color and Highlight Spray, Beyond the Zone Color Bombz
Process (Main piece): Building a wire support system (steal wire, wire cutters, needle nose plyers). A specific braiding pattern was used to attatch the structure to the head (front: head band visible braid, Back: starburst braid) Comb through certain amounts of the braiding hair to add volume, roll, and pin to structure building shape. Color with spray color and add ornaments.
Process (Planets): Poke hole through styrofoam and thread a rubberbanded section of kanekalon hair. Systematically spread and roll hair around styrofoam while pinning. Color and decorate as waned.
Inspiration: Ocean waves Medium (hair): Mannequin hair Medium (headpiece): Tul, mesh, starfish, pearls, tacky glue Color: Highlights, 20 and 30 vol developer, blue: pravana blue and blue+green ombre. Style: Fingerwaves and standup+rolled upwards pincurls.
Process: I wanted to portray the ocean in a creative yet classic way. I went with a 40's hairstyle accompanied by a hand made birdcage veil. There are three rows of finger waves with two rows of pincurls beneath. They are pinned in an asymmetrical, cascading direction. They start over the ear on the right to the left lower neck ( this is the "breaking wave"). As for the color, i kept her base brown color and highlighted through it to give it a more sandy/sunkissed look and the blue is water gradient coinciding with the water break.
