Assessment Evaluation

Overall I was very pleased with how my design turned out. My partner worked to give the hair volume and structure which I feel is present in the final images. I like the headpiece that I purchased to go with the hair design, I feel it incorporates Queen Elizabeth I's love for pearls to represent her purity and wealth. 

A couple of things I would improve with the final look if I could would firstly be for the back of the hair to have a much rounder fuller volume, like the original design, I feel that the hair hangs a bit to limp and loose. Also I would have preferred for there to be more straight, back-combed hair over the top and the back of the head, similar to the original design. In the beginning I pictured the design to be so you could not see the crimping underneath, it only being there to provide volume.

Generally though, I am satisfied with the way the final design came together.

I am also very pleased with the way I produced my partners design. I put a number of the skills I have learnt throughout the project into practice; such as crimping, curling, back-combing, french plaiting and the use of padding. The structure of the hair was strong and fixed in place well so that it wouldn't move or fall out. I feel I managed my time well throughout the assessment, not needing to rush or panic but just focus o creating my partners design. 

I feel I have met my partners design well, however if I could, there would be a couple of elements I would change, for example I would have preferred it if I had of brought the hair round to one side slightly more like the design as this looked very effective. I also would have perhaps tried to gain more height in the top of the hair as I feel this would make it look more effective, however, generally I am pleased with the way the final look came out.
