Seema Chopra Workshop

This is the Hair look I created during the Seema Chopra Workshop, what I like about it is, that considering the length of the hair I was able to create a lots of volume by backcombing and come up with quite a nice rounded but structured shape. For my final shoot I would like to think I could create a more impactful look, by having a very sculptural hair look, perhaps quite large, so maybe I need to find a model with long hair or consider more seriously the use of a wig. 

I think if i was to re-do the workshop I would aim to make the hair neater, I think the crepe hair, though I like the colours, looks messy and was not symmetrical on both sides of the head.

I like how the look appeared different depending on what angle the photo was taken from. The main aspect I enjoy is creating and looking at the hair height. I think this is going to be one of the main features in my hair design, almost resembling a tribal headdress, in terms of height/shape.

The back section of the hair was stuffed, with a hair doughnut and pinned into position on the back of the head, surrounding hair was then backcombed, sprayed and folded over the hair dougnut for maximum coverage.  The middle to front section of the hair was backcombed, rolled and pinned into a quiff. While the middle side sections of the hair were also backcombed and scooped over into two small rolls, meeting in the centre of the head. To finish plaits coming from the bottom of the head were pulled over the sculptured back of the head and pinned into positioned. Crepe hair was woven into the plaits to make them longer and to add colour to the hair design. These are skills I have learnt from both the Seema Chopra workshop and my Wild Kingdom makeup and hair lessons.

Though I like the use of colour, I need to think about whether I want the colour to be as bold or more subtle, natural shades. Another aim to create depth in the hair.
