Outcome - My design - Done by Taylor

Outcome - Taylor's design - Done by me

Don't tell anyone!

Selfies after Taylor's assessment. Absolutely love how my design turned up! It exceeded my expectations and I felt so royal with that hair! 

Don't tell anyone!

Assessment selfies?! Yes, please!
Why not have a bit of fun after all this stress (or during it)?! :))

I am so happy that the first assessment is now over! I was so stressed about it those days, I thought I couldn't make it perfect but in the end it was all good. Now I can finally relax  prepare for the next assessment which is Wednesday! YEY!

Taylor practising my design - Week 7

It was a hard day for us because we were at the Uni from 9.00 AM to 18.30 PM but it was really satisfying. We both practiced our hair designs and we both did well.
Taylor improved her padding skills really well and this time I've got the right accessories to achieve this look. I have made a new hair rat which was bigger and in the appropiate shade for my hair colour. My partner struggled at first to handle it and to hide it because it was really big but then she managed to bend it a bit with some bobby pins and to hide it with a few hair pieces from my extensions. So once the hair rat was ready, everything went well when creating the front part of my design. We realised that it takes really long to curl the hair and, because we are allowed to add texture to the hair prior to the assesment, we decided that it's better to curl the hair in Helen's class and to unpin it when everything else is finished.
I am really pleased by Taylor's improvement and I can clearly see that she gave her interest in doing my design. Everything looks exactly how I wanted, and I am surprised by how nice it looks with the curled extensions aswell.

Practicing Taylor's design - Week 7

This time it was better. I have practiced plaiting at home and I felt more confident in what I was doing, plus that I knew what's going to happen. Taylor gave me the step by step instructions and it was easier than first time. Unless like last week, today I've crimped the whole head first and it was better. I have also timed myself to see how much it will take at the assessment and I need about 50 minutes before to crimp the back section of the head and to section everything, leaving the front part crimping and plaiting for the exam. I have also added the spiral-pin pearls and I found adding them difficult at the beginning because they needed to be a bit loosen, but I've managed to stretch them a bit and now they're prepared for the assessment.  I feel confident about the assessment!
I just looove today's result!
