Classic Shapes and Silhouettes

The two hairstyles we created for this was the sleek ponytail and the french pleat.

SLEEK PONYTAIL:

Equipment needed:

• Hair gel
• Pintail comb
• Hairbands
• Hair grip

• Firstly, a v section at the top of the hair needs to be separated. 
• With the rest of the hair underneath, brush it into a sleek ponytail, using hair gel to flatten the hair to the head and create a sleek look.
• Once this is done, then bring the hair at the top of the head to the hairband, and fasten it with another hairband, making sure that the hair at the front is even with the rest of the hair and that it is neatened down with gel. 
• Next, take some hair out of the ponytail and wrap it around the hairband to hide it. 

  

FRENCH PLEAT:

Equipment needed:

• Curling tongs
• Paddle brush
• Grips

• Firstly the hair needs to be curled. Curl the hair away from the face on each side. 
• Next, brush the curls through and pull them together at the back of the head, making sure that the hair on the front and sides is sleek and neat. 
• Twist the hair up, making sure that the twist at the bottom is thin not thick. Once it is twisted, grip it to the head so that it is comfortable for the client and won't fall out.
