Quentin Hair Design #3 - Final

   For my final (and my chosen) design, I decided to make a mixture of both my first and second hair design in combining the messy 'rock-n-roll' vibe with the classic 60s heartthrob hairstyle, with created this messy, slept in quiff. This design will also fit my final design so much better due to it being very care free and messy looking, which will fit with my scene I want to capture Quentin in. I have also considered putting some fake blood within the hair, again to tie in the whole look. To achieve this I would follow the same as my second look, with slightly curling the top of the hair but not being too neat with it and not curling as much hair as the first look, then backcombing the hair to loosen the curls and create messy knots within the hair to make it look like it has been tugged at. Lastly using texturising gel and sprays to make the hair even more messy and undone.

Quentin Hair Design #2

   This second design was truly inspired by the heartthrobs of the 60s, which is when Asylum is set in. I thought I'd do a design inspired by the 60s male hairstyles purely because the 60s had some of the best hairstyles for men and was also worn by some serious heartthrobs which is what Quentin is meant to embody, true beauty. Although, again, this may not be my first chose for my final design as I want Quentin to be shown when he is at his worst, bloody and gory, so to show him with a neat and tidy hair design wouldn't work well for my final outcome.
   Parted at the side with messy, curly/wavy hair styled on top and to the side of the head. I'd achieve this by slightly curling my models hair (if he hasn't already got naturally curly/wavy hair) then add texturising products to help bring volume and texture to the hairstyle, as this hairstyle is all about texture.

Quentin Hair Design #1

   This first Quentin hair design was inspired by Nirvana's lead singer Kurt Cobain. My idea was to have semi flat long, messy curly/wavy hair that embodies the 90s grunge theme, as this was one of my final ideas for how I wanted Quentin to look like. To achieve this look I would flatten my models hair, yet still keeping a tiny bit of texture in his hair to make it look very slept in, again another vibe I wanted to go for Quentin. Although this may not be my final design, I felt I had to design a hairstyle that would show off a rock-n-roll version of Quentin.

Claudia Hair Design #3

   For my final hair design I just wanted a simple centre parting, slightly knotted, messy pony tail. Again keeping with the messy and rather simple theme, I just wanted to show another side to Claudia, a more relaxed version of her. Still rather textured and loose hairs falling across her face, but I imagine her being so much more relaxed compared to my other designs the situation she would of been in would see her in distress and not comfortable, whereas now she's a lot more content, most probably around Quentin or taking her mind off her own thoughts. Unlike the other two, this design wouldn't really fit with my chosen design, as I wanted to show her while she's coming down from her emotional outburst.

Claudia Hair Design #2

   For the second design I wanted to go the opposite from the first design and make Claudia seem a little more tidy, but still embodying a 90s grunge vibe with messy, knotted hair thats been flicked over to the side. Again, I want this look to be very textured and almost knotted/slept in by using various texturising sprays and gels to scrunch though the hair, paired with backcombing to really get a lift to the hair. Another thing I wanted to keep from the first design is the hair falling over the face. I think this idea really makes the look, look very messy and undone which fits with Claudias whole aesthetic and I think this hairstyle would work really well with my 3rd face chart that shows her for 'natural' side to her.

Claudia Hair Design #1 - Final

   My first hair design I wanted to show Claudia in distress, and untidy due to the environment she's in but also to suit her emotional outburst. To create this I would have my models hair rather straight and over textured, to do this I would use a mixture of sprays and gels to keep the hair big and rough. Another element I wanted to add to this design was strands of hair covering the face, again to show her distress but to also show her own movement with her hair, to show how she must have touched and grabbed her own hair whilst having an outburst and this was the finished result of that. Looking at my design now, another finishing touch for this design would to make the hair slightly dirty/greasy to again add to the overall effect of her being untidy and not really taking care of herself whilst she's in the mental unit.
