Crimping
I found crimping particularly fun, as it is so easy to do, but gives such incredible, versatile texture to the hair. You can literally leave the hair crimped and put it in an updo with hair props for a beautifully textured look, or brush the crimp out for gorgeous volume and/or frizz, perfect for Elizabethan looks. The more you brush out crimped hair, the bigger and frizzier it goes.
To crimp hair:
-Section the hair.
-Starting from the hair at the nape of the neck take a section only a few centimetres deep and place the section of the hair in between the two crimping irons. From the back section work on the two sides together until you reach the top of the head reaching the two front side sections. Ensure to get as close to the root as possible but be aware that the crimpers are hot, so make sure to check your model is always comfortable.
-Continue crimping the side sections until the whole section of hair is crimped.
To create a shape in the hair, I sectioned off the front of the hair, and took a large hair prop and attached it, as before to Terri-Anne’s hair. I definitely think it worked much better with crimped hair, as the texture made it easier to work with the hair, and it just looked a lot nicer.
