Padding with extra Victorian added elements

 

·         Brush out hair

·         Section half the hair so you have a clean hair line in the middle, with bottom layer and top layer separated using clips

·         Using tongs on heat 25, curl the hair in small sections and hold the tongs upright when waiting for hair to curl

·         Once bottom layer of hair is curled take clips out of top section and brush out

·         Place padding on top of the head, position correctly and pin in place

·         Work with sections going from the front of the head round to the other side, ending back at the front

·         Backcomb each section making sure that you hold the section of hair directly in front of you, backcombing towards yourself

·         Create a mess

·         Once you have backcombed each section, (or you can do this as you go along) fold the section of hair backwards over the prop and pin in place making sure that the pins are hidden.  (You can manipulate the hair in to shape once all sections are pinned in place)

·         Make sure you over alp each section slightly so you don’t have any gaps

·         Use a small amount of hairspray to hold in place

·         Once all is pinned in place, using your pin comb manipulate the hair in to creating your desired shape
