Practicing Claudia Hair Designs.

Below are some hairstyles I recently practiced for the hair I want to create for Claudia, I think the hairstyles I created would have been suitable for the setting of my chosen tv series AHS Freak show which is set in 1952 Jupiter Florida. Although the hairstyles are very similar to 1950 hair trends I want Claudia's hair to be less perfect and groomed and more imperfect and wild to symbolise her anxiety, stress and personality.

The images above are just two of the different images I looked at when looking for hair inspiration for my character Claudia. I love both of the hairstyles above and will try and recreate my own version of these 'classic' hairstyles make my own design less groomed, more wild and adds to Claudia's unstable personality. Claudia's final hair design will be styled into curls/waves, imperfect with volume and texture and also worn in any parting.

 Look 1 

I first brushed the hair and then began sectioning and then curling the hair in small sections, then clipping each curl with a bobby pin so that the curls would hold and be bouncy and defined. After I curled the whole head I removed the bobby pins from each curl and then began to unravel and style the curls by using a brush and my fingers and also lightly back combed the hair for volume, the hair can be worn in any parting and also has a lot of volume too in order to look wild.

I created this updo style by taking a small section of hair from either side of the face and then brushing it towards the back of the head leaving a small parting of curled hair at the front of the face. After the hair was in the desired direction I secured the hair with bobby pins, I wanted the bobby pins to not be visible in the hair and the back of the hair be a collection of messy, bouncy, loose curls, this was easy to do as I had learnt these skills in Lottie's previous studio sessions. I enjoyed creating this hairstyle but I think it looks too reserved and neat which doesn't symbolise Claudia's unstable personality.

This last hairstyle was very simple to create and I liked the outcome although my final hairstyle for Claudia will be free flowing and wild instead of up or precisely styled. I created this hairstyle by sectioning and small section of curled hair at the front of the head so that it was long/thick enough to be a fringe a frame the face. After creating a fringe I used a brush and began to brush the hair towards the back of the head making sure the hair is smooth and even, once I was happy I secured the hair with a hair band forming the hair into a low/loose ponytail.
