In my most recent hair session Helen, demonstrated how we could age the hair of our character with a few different techniques. I found this session interesting and liked the different effects you can create, although I don't think I will add this effect to my own character as It doesn't fit the period of my character I want to create.
Notes
-There are different ways to make the hair white
-The illustrator palette from Charles Fox is good to use when wanting to add white to the hair (this product activates with alcohol)
-You can also use aqua colour, water and a mascara wand to subtly make the hair appear white/grey
-Using off white/neutral colours counteract the blue tint of white
-Apply white subtly and in small sections
-Separate pieces of hair (randomly) put piece of card/paper underneath the hair and sprayer over the hair with white
-Dry shampoo can be used to create a white/ grey tint on the hair, this also creates a powdery, dust finish to the hair (texture)

| Google Sourced Image. Example of subtle grey hair The image above best describes the subtle grey tint that Helen created on a dolls head during the session. I really like this effect and think it looks really effective when the same white tint is sprayed over facial hair too. I practiced creating white hair on my dolls head, by using some white aqua colour on a mascara wand, I liked the outcome and thought it looked really effective. I plan to re practice this again on real hair though as I had lost the image I took in the session. Products Used -Dry Shampoo -Aqua colour -Hairspray -Supra colour -Mascara wands |
