My Journey with the Elizabethans/ The Hair Studio- Frizzing using a Geisha Pin

During our seminar with Seema this week, we experimented with different methods of creating texture. To do this, we simply used a Geisha Pin, took a small section of hair and wrapped the hair around the pin in a figure of 8. 

The first step in creating a frizzy texture.

After we had wrapped the hair around the pin, we took a straightener and gently heated the hair by placing the straightener around the pin and clamping together, making sure that all the hair has been heated.  This allowed us to quickly set the hair in the shape it had created around the pin.

The hair once is had been heated and taking out of the pin.



Hair slightly brushed out.




Hair completely brushed out.


As you can see from the final two pictures, this technique works really well to create the common Elizabethan 'frizzy' texture.  By brushing the hair through gently, then brushing it out completely it allows you to create two different types of texture, a softer frizz and then a harsher, messier frizz.
