Carrying out my partners final Design on the model with images and thoughts
When seeing my partners design on the hair chart, it wasn't very clear to me so I got him to explain what he wanted me to do. As he hadn't found a model for me to practice on I started breaking it down on a Katie head and practicing the techniques that I weren't sure of, which included combining ribbon in with the plaits. This was new to me and slightly tricky at first, I got a little frustrated but I was determined to do it and as I practiced I overcame this and it went smoothly.
I was happy with the crimped, back combed quiff he wanted as I had included this in a couple of my designs so therefore I had practiced this, so I was comfortable and confident with carrying this part of the design out and also the twisted plait bun at the back of the head.
I enjoyed experimenting with the accessories he wanted me to incorporate in his design on the model, with the use of ribbon entwined in the plaits, the chain of pearls grip either side of the bun and with the pearl ring that I gripped at the bottom of the bun.
However, the placements and accessories were changed a few times of what he wanted and this was changed near the assessment, however, I worked well under pressure and it turned out well I thought and he seemed happy with the way it turned out.
I was a little worried at first when I found out we were doing each others designs on one another, I was worried I wouldn't do it to my partners standards and that I would struggle to match their design, however, once I got practicing I really started to enjoy it and liked asking questions and what exactly he wanted me to achieve, It felt easy to interact with my partner, even though his design changed slightly and I never really knew until the last minute exactly what he wanted, but I felt he had confidence in me to carry out a well executed design.
I wish my partner had explained from the beginning exactly what he wanted and to not keep changing his mind until the last minute, even though I felt I worked well under pressure and I didn't worry as this would of reflected in my timed assessment and I stayed calm and asked as much as I could to get the best look possible on my model.
I think he could of given me a step by step plan in a clearer manner and I needed more detail on the hair chart to give me more guidance and structure. Overall, I had faith in myself and went on and it came out well, which I was surprised but where I had practiced the main skills in the design over and over again I felt confident with small changes of the accessories and placements.
I also wish I had a model bought in by my partner for myself to practice on, because we have an odd number in our class and I had no one to practice on accept my Katie doll, I understand his models let him down so this wasn't his fault, however I wish this was more organised for future assessments.
On the other hand, giving my hair design to my partner to do on myself, I felt was clear with my drawings even though I felt I wrote too much detail on my charts and should of written the basics on the chart and just put all the detail in my step by step guide. This may of been to overwhelming for my partner, but I tend to write too much information then too little, which covers my back. I enjoyed instructing my partner on what I wanted him to achieve on my hair to create my final design and talking with him, I felt confident doing this.
When it came to the assessment, he was first carrying out my design on myself, I made sure I gave him the step by step guide to give him structure and in what order along with the detailed hair chart. Within the time we were given to carry the assessment out, he managed to create my design well, I really liked the placements of the pearls in the buns and seeing all the techniques and textures in the hair, It worked well and looked lovely.
Even though, I wasn't so happy with the back combed quiff, as I wanted it larger and looser, I wanted it less structured and neat, but it still looked similar and worked well. I felt the two buns were uneven and wonky in appearance but loved the volume he created with the crimp and back comb which was excellent. Overall, he managed to do my design within the time period and to be honest I was pretty happy with the results and the way it looked.
When it was my turn for the assessment, I carried out his design on a model we found a couple hours before the assessment, this because a little stressful as I didn't know who I was doing the design on and what their hair was going to be like and how I was going to manage it. My model had Afro textured hair which was easy to manage luckily and his design worked well on the model, this came at a relief to me as I was extremely worried about this. I found his hair chart had been changed and adapted to make it easier for myself to follow during my assessment which was great and where he wanted what coloured ribbons, I was so glad he gave me more structure, but I wish he did this sooner.
I managed to create his design to the best of my ability in the time we were given with all the complications in the process of this project, but this was a learning curve for both of us. If I could of changed anything I would of been more confident with my partner making sure he was asking people to come in to be a model for me, so I could of got more practice in on a real model and I have learnt to be more confident in myself.

My Design carried out on myself with images and thoughts
I gave my partner my hair chart drawn in detail with visible links to where techniques needed to be etc. I also wrote out a step by step, talking through the process of how I wanted my design to end up looking like. I made sure I did this to make it clear and easy for my partner to follow by and to cover myself, I feel if I gave my partner more information this would make his job so much easier.
Images below of the step by step instructions and my final hair design for my partner to go by.
Final Design Hair Chart
When giving my final hair design to my partner, I wasn't worried as I know he has had previous hair experience and thoroughly enjoys it, even so I made sure I explained everything to him and how I wanted it to look.
During the weeks leading up to the assessment, he had only practiced half my hair design on me and I really wanted to see the full look would look on myself, he reassured me with confidence that he had been practicing but on another model. I liked the way he took all the information I gave him on board and asking me questions in order to give me the design I wanted.
I liked how my hair worked so well with the crimp and the back comb as I suspected it to be, showing volume and boldness.
