Making a floral crown

Creating my own Floral Crown!

For my photoshoots many of the hair charts included a floral assessory. I researched many flowers i can add into the hair and my favourite was the floral crown. i felt this is very pretty design which goes well with both up and down hairstyles. 

I decided to create my own so i could create one exactly the way i wanted and which would flatter my model and would stand out from the others using real flowers. Following a youtube tutorial created by 'Thlaita Makes' i was able to design and bring it to life. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwfQ6XDX6yQ




1)
To create a flower crown you are first going to grab the equipment needed. These include a hot glue gun, scissors, green wire rope, green tape and of course some colourful and vibrant real or fake flowers depending if you want the crown to be for short or long term use.

2)
Secondly grab you wire top and make a firm ring large enough to go around yours or your selected models head.

3)
Thirdly select your flowers you want to use in the crown and cut them so there is a stem long enough to wrap around the ring. Place them onto the wring using some green tape to create a natural look. 

4)
One you have placed a variety of flowers around the crown and they are firmly secure,  remove some of the stems from the flowers so its not to overfilling with green and hot glue gun the flowers into place and leave to dry

These flowers don't just have to be used in photoshoots, however also work well at festivals and at the beach or just having a barbecue with your friends. 

Test shoot 1 for assessment

Monday's lesson with Kat - 

In todays lesson i decided to take this time to practise my assessment look on myself to make sure i liked the design and was confident in what i was doing. I felt this look came put alright however wasn't very catwalk so decided to make a few changes by using white mascara and making the hair voluminous and down. My chosen model for my assessment has lovely thick lashes so using the 1016 trend of brushing the eyebrows out will work well in my design as they are dominant on her face.

Lotties Technical File - Shapes and Silhouettes

Lotties Technical File! Shapes and Silhouettes.

1) Sleek pony tail -

For this hairstyle you must have a comb and a spray to damp the hair, this will make it a lot easier. To start off you gather the hair into a pony tail and using the spray damp the hair around the centre of tail. Once the hair is damp use your comb to brush out the hair and to create a smooth and slick texture. To make sure there is no looseness tilt the head back and brush from the back of the neck up into the ponytail. Once everywhere is smooth secure with a smooth elastic. If the ponytail is voluminous and messy you can use a heated hair straightener to smooth it out. 




2) Twist -

For this style you are also going to want to use the spray bottle to damp the hair and a couple of bobby pins to secure the twist. To begin with you are going to capture the hair like a ponytail however to the side and pin the hair at the back of the head where the curl will go into. Using the water spray will smoothen out the hair. With the left over hair gently buckbrush the hair to create volume, this will remove and cover any gaps that will form. Twist the hair with your fingers and bend inwards and grip into place to secure the twist. 



3) Twist with a quiff - 

First of all i created the quiff selecting a top section of the hair and back combing using a backcombing brush. Once i was happy with the height and shape i secured into place. Next i did the exact same as the twist in the second style however just added the quiff. 






Overall i am very happy with the way these three designs have turned out and am definitely exited to use these styles onto myself and my models to create an elegant look. In the future i will be interested to add accessories and see what designs i come out with.
