50's hair:
50's hair usually uses tighter curls and is often then used to create an up do, this would include rolls on the top of the head.
60's hair:
60's hair was all about the volume, the hair was often a looser more natural curl and often and if the hair was dressed up this would usually be a half up, half down look with the volume all on the top layers.
70's hair:
70's hair was also had plenty of volume, however the difference between 60's and 70's hair was that 70's hair was not usually brushed through after curling. Another style would be to curl the hair outwards from the face, again giving the hair a big bouncy effect.
Tools needed for this look.
- Sectioning comb.
- Paddle brush.
- Heated rollers (you may need more than one set depending on the thickness of the hair)
- Hair spray
- Heat protection
- Shine spray (optional)
- Hair bands if you will be creating an up do.
Health and safety for this:
Make sure you have washed your hands before touching your clients hair.
Make sure you complete a consultation before starting.
Be careful with the heated rollers as these will be very hot.
Do not spray products in your clients face or eyes.
Be careful not to burn your clients head with the rollers.
For this process I decided to create a 60's inspired look as I thought this would work the best on my client as she had a full fringe.
Steps to complete this look:
- Prep the hair by applying heat protection.
- Section the hair two side sections, a middle section and more side section (the bottom section will be used for brick work)
- Take medium rollers and apply them to the side sections going down, make sure you take the hair in an under movement when rolling it as this will add lift to the roots of the hair.
- Take the middle section of the hair and apply large rollers using the same technique.
- After this use the brick work technique on the left and right hand sides.
- Leave the rollers in until they are cool.
- After this remove the rollers but do not brush the hair through.
- Once all the rollers have been removed begin brushing the hair through with a paddle brush. Brush the hair under and over holding onto the hair as this will allow you to control it and shape it to your look.
- Seeing as this was a 60's look take the sectioning comb and backcomb at the roots to add even more volume.
- Finally spray with hair spray, and shine spray to complete the look.
Here is the what the rollers should look like
Here is the final outcome of this look:
Evaluation:
I believe the outcome of this look was successful. This is because you can see the volume that the hair has and I like the way the curls look. To improve this look I believe the application of the rollers could have been better as this would have given even more volume to the hair, however I think this is a mixture of my sectioning needing to be improved and the fact that I was overly cautious with not burning my clients head with the rollers. For my second attempt at using rollers I believe this has been successful and will definitely look at improving this technique as it is something I enjoy doing.
