Practise's of Grace's Design

My partners hair design involved creating a dutch plaits to look like a crown around the head which was very easy to my partner but was proved to be very difficult for me to carry out. After trying this hairstyle out repeatedly me and my partner realised where it was going wrong and decided it would be easier and would look better if I didn't pick up hair underneath the plait as it also looked better.I need to keep practising this hairstyle and need to pull the plait back as my partner didn't like the plait covering her forehead and wanted to see her hairline a bit to make it look like more of a crown. This is something I need to work on as every-time I tried this hairstyle out i struggled with it.If i struggle too much with the hairstyle it will have to be adapted for me as I want my partner to be happy with the end result.We also discussed having a middle parting with too plaits that joined as she wasn't sure if her design was Elizabethan enough. This idea may be easier for me to carry out also so could be a potential outcome.
Here is another practise of Grace's design which still wasn't perfect but looks a lot better then the first time I practised it as I was able to create the plait with her hairline still showing which was something she asked when discussing our designs. However when I practised her design for one of the last times she decided if all of the hair was crimped it would be better and easier to create the dutch plait as it meant that the plait would be thicker and I would be able to give the rest of her hair more volume as if the hair was untouched she wouldn't have much volume and this one little difference made her design more Elizabethan in our opinion.
