Working in pairs

This week we started doing hairstyles on each other. I've never done someone's hair before and there is a big difference with working on a doll and on a real person. I'm still not 100% comfortable and confident with styling other people's hair. I get scared that I will burn their face or head when using heat, just like I've burned my forhead that very morning. This is why I didn't attempt to do the Elizabethan hairstyle on my partner just yet. 
My partner for the final assesstment is Greta. Her hair is wavy, just below the shoulder lenght. I wanted to see how much volume I can get just by crimping her hair and if the effect will be different, as I've only crimped straight hair before. At first, her hair looked quite flat. But after brushing it and with a bit of backcombing I managed to get the volume I was aiming for. 
Now I feel much more confident with styling real hair. Next time we do this, I will definitely go into more detail and try to decorate the hair with curls and plaits.
