81. Heads Will ... Be Illustrated.

As a hairdresser I spend most of my time staring at the backs of pretty girl's heads. No seriously, think about the time you spend in the salon getting your hair done telling your hairdresser all your secrets, the hairdresser stands behind you right? Anyway, I found these beautiful illustrations from Maria Gil Ulldemolins. The details are sublime.

75. OOH LA LA. BEST HAIR AT PARIS SPRING FASHION WEEK 2011.

For regular readers of Heads Will Roll will know that I love a little bit of hair braiding, so you will not be surprised to hear that my pick of Best hair at Paris Spring fashion week 2011 goes to Guido Palau for Alexander McQueen.

And here’s what Guido said “: “There’s a nod to paganism…and the idea of getting back to nature,” said Guido Palau of his basket-woven hairpieces, which looked like the sewn-together husks of one’s childhood cornhusk dolls. “There are a lot of artisanal straw elements in the dresses and collars,” he added, explaining the look”.

And also...

Also special mention goes to Orlando Pit for his inspiring homage to Bettie Page. It’s such a simple idea but so well executed. Makes me want to invest in some clip on bangs.

And lastly...

And lastly, to the model with the most drastic hair change Carmen Kass pictured above. Her big chop came just before the Balmain show by one of my favourite hairstylist Sam McKnight. But wait there’s more, then she had Guido colour her red just before the Louis Vuitton show.

KNOT THE ONE

Oh I do love a bit of hair braiding, my only concern with doing them on every shoot is that it works better on blonde hair as you get to see the detail. The exception to the rule: Patti Smith, who can do no wrong in my book.

Model- Dree Hemingway (great grand-daughter of legendary writer Ernest Hemingway),

Sneak Peak

Quick post just to give you guys a sneak peak at a photo-shoot I was involved with, hence the very small, tight crop image. The photo was taken by myself on my iphone. Details to come. What I can show you is some reference photos I used to come up with the hair inspiration. In the meantime check out my other sneak peaks.

Little Tailleur

Here is the photo shoot I did a while back for Little Tailleur who is my favourite Melbourne designer right now.

Regular readers of Head Will Roll may recognise the lovely Kahlia, as seen in a previous post called Kahlia as Policewoman.

Photography by Mariah Jelena.

P.S The hair in this shoot involved a five strand braid.
