Mrs Laderman (Before) - Hair Designs

AS MY MRS LADERMAN (FINAL LOOK) HAS NO HAIR I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO INCLUDE A BEFORE IMAGE WHICH FEATURES A HAIR DESIGN AND MAKEUP LOOK. THIS NOT ONLY DEMONSTRATES THE STORYLINE OF MY CHARACTER DEVELOPING BUT ALLOWS ME TO SHOW MY SKILLS IN HAIR DESIGN FOR MY FINAL LOOK.

Idea No 1. - FINAL HAIR DESIGN

My first hair design is a very basic and simple 1940's hairstyle that would have been worn day to day by the housewife. This style will be created using the technique that we had learnt in a practical session earlier in the term by position rolls of hair across the head so that they can be brushed out afterwards into a number of curls and waves. This hairstyle is heavily inspired by Lauren Bacall a hollywood starlet who was an icon within the era for her beauty and hairstyle that was very simple but elegant. As my Mrs Laderman before character is very sophisticated and conservative I want a hairstyle that reflects that. 

Idea No 2.

This hairstyle is a development from my first design in which the front of the hair will be taken and pinned back into two victory rolls. One on the top of the head and the other to the side. The rest of the hair will then be pinned back leaving the bottom layer to curl underneath. This hairstyle is another example of a classic 1950's hairstyle but that could easily be worn by a practical housewife and therefore would be fitting for my Mrs Laderman character. This hairstyle however does depend on how much hair my model has as if my models hair was not thick enough it will not allow me to create the volume needed across the back of the curl. 

Idea No 3.

This idea is inspired by actress Rita Hayworth, although it is a hairstyle from the era it is not necessarily very exemplarily of the well known cliche and therefore I feel it would confuse audiences of the show who may associate it with a 1980's reference. Therefore it is unlikely I will use it in my final design. This hairstyle would of been created using the same set up for the curls as the previous two designs only instead of smoothing the hair with a paddle brush the curls will be shaken out and adjusted as needed to create the final look. The front may also be combed into shape to create the waves that frame the face.
