Plaiting and Braiding
Current Trends Hair - Lesson 1
Health and Safety
1. Make sure all my equipment and brushes are cleaned properly so as not the spread anything from one client to another.
2. Make sure that my pin tail comb is safely down or tucked into my palm whilst not being used so as not to accidently stab myself or others.
3. Make sure my hands are washed and clean before starting the look.
4. Make sure my hair is away from my face.
5. Make sure I dont have any excessive jewellery on that could catch, cut or scratch my model.
6. Make sure all my products are layed out properly and neatly so as not to cause a hazard.
7. Ensure there is nothing on the floor that can be tripped or fallen over and all bags and coats are away.
8. Make sure I am wearing shoes with a closed toe so as if anything is dropped it doesn't cause damage to the toes.
Step-by-step
In our first lesson back of current trends hair styling with Emma, we were learning how to plait and braid in different ways and how to incorporate these into hair styles. We focused mainly on french, dutch, fishtail and 4 strand plaits.
Going into this lesson I already knew I was unable to french plait, I have tried many times but with the end result always being useless. So in this lesson I decided I would really try hard to do this. With the help of Emma and Heather, I was shown step-by-step how to french plait.
I managed to get a loose plait into Heathers hair in my second try which I was really pleased with, this is probably the first time I had managed to get this far with it so I was quite proud of myself. I now know how to french plait so in future practices I know I need to focus on keeping it neater and tighter to the head in order to get the look I want.
Once I was happy with the technique of french plaiting, I went onto doing a fishtail. I have done fishtails before and so I was focusing on making sure it was even and how I was styling it out. I firstly created a ponytail style fishtail plait which I loosened and thickened and brought over Heathers shoulder which looked really nice. I then tried to do 2 fishtail plaits in a 'french plait style'. I sectioned the hair into two sides with a middle parting and then clipped up one of them. I then plaited the first side in a fishtail style. I found that this came out much better than the french plait that I did although I probably could have gone a bit tighter with it and made it slightly neater. I repeated this with the other section and left them falling down Heather's back. It was a really nice, simple and pretty style. I was happy with the end result.
