For some reason I'm really obsessed with spiral braided headdresses, maybe because they are so unpractical! The braided headdresses in the photos for luxury hair product line Barber and Fritz, as well as for Danish jewelry artist Denise J. Reytan, incorporate an element of installation art, with a look ranging from folky, to aristocratic, to strange. Photos that are styled using elabourate props are my favourite; a crafted headdress is both hat and fancy hair-do. The best part is instead of making and re-making such a complex hairstyle, the"do" can be removed whenever.
I also needed to throw in some of Toronto artist Winnie Truong's gorgeous & strange pencil drawings. She is such a master of clothing her Neolithic characters in hair they've weaved to armour and embellish themselves with. My absolute favourite detail within these drawings has to be the "hair flower" woven into the side of a messy bun. The texture of the hair flows into the flower creating flora that looks prehistoric.
