Using colour sprays in the hair

Here we was asked to make our own characters and to decide how old they were and what characteristics they had. So here is my character her name is Ruby she is 18 years old and she is very shy but shows her true personality through her style and hair. I decided to french plait the sides of the hair but sectioned the top of the hair of so that I could crimp it as we also had to use two techniques we had been taught. So I chose crimping and back combing as this meant I could create extra volume in the middle sections of the hair which was going to get crimped, back combed and tied back. I feel that I was able to use these techniques well and the hairstyle came out exactly how I had planned for it to. However I feel that when I used the colour sprays for the hair I sprayed it too closely to the hair and it stopped the pattern from the lace coming out as detailed as it could have if I was to spray it further away. So if I was to recreate this hairstyle I would use lace that has bigger holes or a more detailed pattern and would spray it from further away to make the pattern more prominent. I wouldn't have used any of these techniques for my characters as it doesn't really fit with the mood of the show and is more of a punk/ fashion catwalk on an Alexander McQueen style.
