Plaiting and buns on dolls heads



So this week we practised plaiting, fishtails, french plaits and buns without using a "bun".
in all honesty I had no problems with any of this as i'm a qualified hairdresser so its second nature to me, however its always great to practise and try different techniques to achieve the look. I'm very happy with all the out comes from my first attempt.

With Helen later on in the week we thad a go at achieving a look with the techniques learnt, i remembered a picture of a Elizabethan hat I researched that had plaits and ribbon's running around the head so i tried to recreated my version of the look......ok so it wasn't amazing but not bad first attempt!

my first attempt in class of a fish tail, i really like this look, its quite controversial, you can mess it up of a beachy look or keep it tidy

So as you can see iv intwined 4 plaits that run around the head, not a great first attempt but I think with practice the effect will be quite nice.
