Wash and blow dry...

I first started by washing my models hair...

• I began by sitting my model down and gowning her with the black cape.
• Normally the hair would be shampooed twice when washed but as we needed time to blow dry it was only shampooed once and conditioned only at the ends of the hair. Never condition the roots. (Always check the temperature of the water on your wrist before wetting the models head.)
• I then took my wide tooth comb and brushed the conditioner through my models hair to avoid any tangling when drying.
• Then wash the conditioner out and bring the towel around the models head squeezing any excess water out of the hair.

Blow drying...

• I first began by lightly blasting my models hair off so that it was slightly dryer but still damp.
• I then sectioned the hair starting from the bottom. (It's always important that the sections are straight to enable you to get to the root of the hair.)
• Then using a round brush place it under the strip of hair ensuring its firmly gripped. Dry closely to the root under the hair strip and above. This will create a lift in the hair.
• After the hair is slightly lifted from the root pull the brush downwards through the rest of the hair in a rotating motion allowing the hair to take the shape of the brush. (Make sure the nosel of the hair dryer is sat closely to the hair and the brush is pointing downwards so it is able to direct and shape the hair with the heat of the dryer.

I struggled to shape my models hair at first as you have to be confident and firm when drying. (You control the hair, the hair doesn't control you. As I was told.) I don't think the image

portrayed the ending look that well but you can definitely see a shaping to the hair in my final image.
