Testing of ideas

In my designs I have included the 'Chinese staircase braid', which I found when doing my research. As I have never created this before I tested it out on a dolls head before doing it on my nylon wig. 
The braid was actually easier than I thought it was going to be, just quite time consuming. Its consisted of notting the hair, which was quite difficult to get out. Also it was hard to make it look smooth and sleek, although I think the end result actually looked quite effective. After doing this practice I have decided to do these braids using hair extensions instead of on my wig, as it will mean that I won't have to try and un-knot the hair each time I have to restyle my wig.
