Experimenting with volume.

For my hairstyle I want the hair to be big and voluminous at the back. Like how hair goes once you've slept on it whilst your hair is up. Except exaggerated due to my characters conditions.

In class we often experiment with different ways to achieve height,volume and shape. One way to create it is by using padding. However I find padding hard to attach to head and make it stay whilst being rough with the rest of the hair.

I was placing objects in the hair such as as cans and gripping them in the hair to create a voluminous big shape like the image at the back of the hair. The problem with the can was that it would not hold very well. I then used two Velcro rollers in the hair after backcombing the bottom and top sections. I gripped these tightly in the hair. I found these created my desired shape and height. The stayed in the hair sturdy so I was able to work around them without them moving which was perfect.
