Props

Props in the Hair

Today in class we were learning how to use props in the hair, this is a really good idea for Tribal because from my research the hair can have quite alot of shape to it and by adding props to the hair this can give it shape and height. 

Props you can use

Polystyrene Balls

Tights Stuffed with cotton wool, Doughnut

Polystyrene Ring  

Here are just a couple of different objects that I have used before in the hair, you can use most things that give shape to the hair, but you must remember they can't be too heavy otherwise they will weigh the hair down. Below are the photos of my first attempt of hair using props, I aimed to create height and I feel I achieved this. I was lucky with my model because they had long hair so was good to get alot of height, this is a good thought for when I choose my model for my final imagine. For this look I used, polystyrene balls, some were circular shaped and some were more of an egg shape. Once i placed them where I wanted them I then placed the hair around the shape and secured it with a hair bobble. I hid the hair bobble with crepe hair, this also added colour to my look. i carried on this technique till I finished with all the hair. The hair sometimes flopped over, this hair would be good for my Editorial image because i could add some clips to keep it up, if i did use it for my catwalk look I would maybe use wire to secure it.
