Messy Buns Inspired by Clown Hair

This lesson was more fun and more of an experiment to see what we could come up with during the time. We were shown some reference pictures at the beginning of hairstyles that was slightly carnival/clown-like in look and we had to create a style similar to it. 

EQUIPMENT

- Pintail comb

- Hair Bands

- Bobby Pins

- Hair Pins

- Afro Comb

- Curlers

- Hairspray

- Heat Protectant

STEP BY STEP

- Do any type of parting that you wish- I chose a zig zag. To do the zig zag parting, take the hint go the comb and draw the shape you wish on the scalp then separate the hair out. 

- Clip one section away.

- Tie the first section into a high pony tail on the side of the head. Do the same with the other side.

- Spray on heat protectant and curl the hair hanging down from the ponytail. 

- Once all the hair is curled, start backcombing- you want it to be quite messy. 

- Then pin into place, you don't want to have the conventional 'bun shape' for these, you want it to still be very messy. 

- Use hairpins to guide the hair into place and pin.

- Spray with hairspray. 

My interpretation

MY INTERPRETATION

I'm quite proud of how the final hair came out. I did have a lot of trouble with getting the zig zag parting, when I separated the hair out I wanted happy with the shape so I had to get Lottie to help me. After a few tries I managed to get the parting looking how I wanted, and I'm quite proud of the final look of it. The curlers I was using weren't the best so I couldn't get an as defined curl, however I think that because I backcombed so much I lost the curl anyway. I think that I did manage to get the buns looking pretty even, however I think that I needed to look more in the mirror to get them even more symmetrical.
