At the end of term 3, the year 10 & 11 students started making our passion projects. In our group, Daisy, Naumai and I decided to do braiding, we choose this because at first we all wanted to do Hair & Beauty, but we needed to buy a lot of eqipment for our beauty idea because it was make-up and it was probably gonna be over the budget, so as a group we all agreed to do braiding because we found some braiding tutorial videos on youtube and they were interesting. Mr Aitken suggested we make a tutroial as a group, an example for his daughter. Before we actually did braid, we had to make a slideshow as a group to show what days we are we gonna plan for our passion project and what days we are going to film our videos and anything else to be done. We started doing our braid tutorial video at the start of term 4. Braiding was a little diificult because there were different types of braiding, but I was glad I atleast knew how to braid one way, but it was a little fustrating and challneging learning how to braid another way.
There were difficulties when we tried to get the app working, but it eventually worked. We all took turns helping to make our braiding tutorial video nice and presentable. The one thing I learned while doing this passion project is that, working with friends is very helpful because you can work well together and get the work done. I really enojyed this years passion project, I am very proud of my team member and myself. I will set out some simple instructions on how to french braid for begginers.
- Comb or brush hair before you start so it makes it easier to braid
- Divide three section of hair at the front of head
- Grab the right section of hair and cross it with the middle section, the do the same with left section
- This time will back at crossing right section, add a fair amount of hair to right section and cross into middle
- Repeat step 3 & 4
- Make sure with your fingers just comb out any notty hair in the way
- Make sure it is nice and tight
- When finished braiding, get a hair tie and tie the end part of your hair
- You can choose to hairspray so your braids will stay in for long
