In this week's timed assessment I was the hair stylist. Before the timed assessment, during practices, I was struggling with the hair design created by my partner. I found some of the techniques involved difficult to carry out, and struggled to make it look neat and professional. Due to the changes involved during the practices I only managed to complete the design once on my partner but I also practised on my false hair doll. Going into the assessment I was worried that I would not be able to sufficiently and competently carry out the design. However, during the assessment, once I got into the design, I felt really comfortable and the felt far more easy and my practices had clearly helped. I think that I carried out the design well, and compared to the practices it was neat and looked like a finished style. The look involved attaching a metal head piece into the hair, using only pins and hair. Although I had not previously struggled much with this technique I feel that I carried it out the best I had done and the best I could during the timed assessment. Padding was another aspect of the design that I had to carry out; I had previously found it difficult to cover and gain the height that was needed for the design. However when creating the look for the final time I managed to achieve the height and cover the padding reasonably well. I believe that the padding could have been covered more, but I did not leave enough hair out of padding to cover the rest. Another aspect of the design that I believe that I could have improved upon was covering and concealing pins. I like to use kirby grips as I feel that they hold the most secure grip, however they are harder to cover and I think that in the assessment this aspect could have been improved. I think this assessment taught me not to doubt myself so much and have faith in my skills. Overall I think that the assessment was a success and after previous worries I actually found it quite enjoyable.
