Practicing Padding On Real-Life Models

This simply shows me practicing the padding process/technique on a real model's hair, instead of just a doll. In some ways, I found this slightly easier because you could communicate with your model (e.g. by asking them to tilt their head), but of course, you had to be more cautious not to burn the model's head, or singe their hair. 

2/3 rows of pin curls, and crimped section

French plait to act as anchor point for padding

Padding inserted into the hair

Hair from above and below padding to cover prop

Curls pulled back for decoration

 I was quite satisfied with how my look turned out, because I managed to successfully cover all the padding and create a good amount of height and volume, and importantly, I didn't hurt or harm the model!
