Whilst reading up on hair and its history etc there was a common theme i notice attached to the subject. In many situations hair is associated with a fear, a fear of the hairdresser, a fear of having it cut, the fear of finding hair in unusual places. I find this particularly interesting as it is a natural thing for most of us to have hair, so why do we find it so disgusting?
When my friends looked through the book 'Hair 'em, Scare 'em' (my new bible!) their reactions to the images were 'eww' 'gross' or 'that's weird' because to them it was not seen as the norm or how 'we' stereotypically image hair should be displayed.
Some of the magical images:
Levi Van Veluw.
Frank Schumacher.
But to me it is a beautiful thing that can be styled, sculpted, coloured etc into just about anything and can change the way someone looks or feels within an instance.
