Wig work 

In this semester, we have been looking at wigs in grate detail. Looked at different types of wigs and also how they are made.  As someone who had always had a passion and love for hair, I was very excited to be given a chance to learn this.

When I first chose to do wig as my chosen module my expectation was very high. One of the things that I thought that I was going to learn was how to make a wig from scratch; Everything from creating a foundation for different wigs to adding hair to it. however as the module began it was made clear to us we will not be doing that due to the level of time recurred to make a wig.

One thing we looked at that I really enjoyed was the making of mustaches, though i was not able t finish my mustaches fully, I really found it very therapeutic and interesting, and is something I will continual to practice till I pic up speed. I also love lessons were we looked at different era and the hair that were in fashion then. This took place in both technical lessons with Lottie and in wig lesson with Helen. It was refreshing to have both teacher and to see how each explained and did things. I fill there was skills that I deffenatly gained from both teachers.

For my final project I chose to look at the 1940s hair. In meant looking at what was going on in that time and also looking at what caused or contributed to the choice of hair style the women did.

One of the things I felt I really straggled with was the blogging; am not very good at writing, saying this, I found the best way for me to overcome this was to take a lot of pictures when I do any practical work and to explain everything.  Researching things further after lesson was also very helpful because I found videos and articles of how to make wig that go in great detail. 

Setting wig was always very enjoyable to me. One technic I learnt was curling synthetic hair using steam

Some of the obstacle I faced was having a model not tern up and I had to look for another model last minute. In the future I will make sure to always have a back up model just in case the first one douse not turn up.

All in all I really enjoyed this module and I found that everything we did in the lesson was useful. I really enjoyed transforming a wig from one look to another and seeing how when my model wares it how they change. I do wish we had more time in odder to learn how to create a wig foundation. This would have been very beneficial to me in the long run.
